Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2019

While the market recognizes and appropriately values HOF signatures, specimens drafted earlier-on by those at the forefront of the sport should merit both increased demand and inflated worth. We offer exactly that, with a signature scripted by legendary superstar Wayne Gretzky during the formative years of his iconic career in the early-1980s, with this desirable-signed William Neilson letter accompanied by additional documents from the confectioner. At 8 ½” x 11”, the letter on Wayne Gretzky letterhead is addressed to Neilson’s president and dated “December 22, 1983”, with Wayne adding a large and absolutely flawless flowing blue ballpoint signature. Seven additional Neilson documents will accompany including a cover letter addressed to Wayne from the president of William Neilson. A Basic Cert COA from JSA will accompany.
As mentioned, the early Gretzky signature remains bold and dark with no issues, with just light handling wear to the document itself including a few minor wrinkles. A sticker from JSA numbered “AA17789” has been affixed to the lower reverse. The additional documents exhibit toning and handling wear, with staples affixing the sheets into two groups, with a paper clip holding both groups together, with this leaving indentations over each sheet.
