Offered here is a classic signature from the greatest hockey player to ever lace up the skates — The Great One, Wayne Gretzky. This signed page originates from a 1982 publication featuring Gretzky’s iconic October 12, 1981 Sports Illustrated cover — the first of his legendary career.
A true prodigy, Gretzky was a phenom as a teenager, and by just 21 years old had already established himself as the best player in the NHL. The caption above, which Gretzky has signed, perfectly captures the meteoric rise that defined his early dominance:
Sensational 21-year-old hockey star of the Edmonton Oilers — the league’s “Most Valuable Player” for three consecutive years… acclaimed by Time, Newsweek, and a Sports Illustrated cover story, “The Great Gretzky”… “the most exciting one-man show in the sport”… who has earned The Sporting News designation as 1982 “Athlete of the Year”… and won international headlines recently with his 77th goal of the season that shattered the all-time single-season scoring record… he is truly a legendary “Boy Wonder” who has blazed his immortal mark in hockey history.
Signed in bold ballpoint ink in 1982, the autograph reflects Gretzky’s clean, deliberate early-career style and is enhanced by his iconic “#99” inscription. The piece measures approximately 10.75” x 7.75” and is attractively surrounded by blue and orange Edmonton Oilers–themed borders, giving it outstanding visual appeal.
Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA.
