Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2016

Not drafted 1st overall?? It’s almost unfathomable to think, but Wayne Gretzky wasn’t drafted first in the 1977 OHA Midget Draft… or second! The third-overall pick, it was most likely Wayne’s diminutive stature that kept him from the premier spot. This 16” x 20” photo features a youthful Wayne as he appeared in his very first NHL game. Pictured brandishing a Northland stick, this early image precedes his later use of Titan models. Housed in a dark frame with attractive navy mat, Wayne has added a nice signature in blue with additional “Game 1”. Numbered 3/99, with a WGA hologram which has been placed in the lower right for assured authenticity.
We should also add that there is some wear to the frame, with a few marks/dings in the bottom left and middle, along with 2 spots on the right hand side.
