As he was not allowed to be signed to an NHL team due to his young age, WHA clubs courted Wayne Gretzky including Indianapolis and Birmingham, with Wayne signing with the former in June of 1978. After playing only 8 games for the Racers, Gretzky was offered to both the Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers, and the rest as they say, is history. Making his debut for the Oilers in November of 1978, we have a limited-edition signed and framed photo of Wayne’s first game with Edmonton. At 16” x 10”, the large print shows Gretzky in game-action, with his blue marker signature over the bottom right, with the desirable added “Game 1”. The limited-edition number of “82/99” appears over the bottom right near a WGA hologram. Attractively double-matted in Oilers colours and framed to 26” x 30, a COA will accompany, and we should note some wear to the frame.
While all of our frames are thoroughly and safely packaged for shipping, due to the size and/or weight, and dependent upon the shipping company, we should mention that damage may occur in transit. Please note that as such, we are not responsible for damage to frames that occurs during shipping.
