Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Spring 2019

Dominating the hockey world throughout his two decades of NHL service, Wayne Gretzky remains the standard by which all others are measured, with the all-time greatest player still holding 60 official records. We have a trio of Gretzky sticks, including a signed pair, with each example highly desirable. First, we have an Easton Aluminum model issued to Wayne, with original inserted blade and a recently added gripper. Next, we have a Hespeler Fibreglas model issued to Wayne, again with a recently added gripper. Both these first two sticks have been signed on the blade in black marker, with Wayne adding “802” to the Easton signature. The final stick is a Hespeler CS Pro model issued to Wayne, with original correct gripper and unoriginal, added blade. The signatures have both been authenticated by noted Gretzky collector Shawn Chaulk, with holograms added to each, along with an additional WGA hologram on the Fibreglas model.
The Easton Aluminum stick has “Gretzky” over the upper shaft, with a bit of surface spotting over the lower shaft and glue residue at the insertion joint, with the signature large and bold. The Hespeler CS Pro model has “Gretzky” stamped over the stem of the later inserted and taped blade, with this repeated over the upper shaft, with factory codes stamped to the underside. The Hespeler Fibreglas also has “Gretzky” “55” and “8” stamped over the upper shaft, with a somewhat lighter signature from a weak marker.
