Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/19/2018
The 1984-85 NHL season started like any other for Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers. Coming off a previous year that witnessed their first Stanley Cup championship, Wayne was an especially hot commodity, with his endorsement highly sought. We have correspondence along with a number of documents between Wayne and William Neilson Ltd, the maker’s of Neilson confectionery items. Included, we have a letter to Neilson signed by Wayne regarding future endorsement payments, an appearance/interview list for Neilson, a number of documents regarding Wayne’s marketing rights in the US, a golf invitation on behalf of Wayne, a card stock Gretzky Mr. Big advertisement and other associated documents. The 1984 endorsement payment letter (file copy) has been signed on the second page by Wayne in ballpoint, with no issues for the signature. An LOA from JSA will accompany for the signature.
The majority of documents (15 total) exhibit expected wear from their prior use with staples, staple holes, folds, toning and the odd crease or dog-eared corner.
