Attractive All-Star gamer was worn by the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, for the official Team Photo Shoot at the 1994 National Hockey League All-Star Game played at New York's Madison Square Garden. Gretzky holds the all-time record for goals scored in All-Star appearances with 13 goals over 18 games played. Wayne, who captained the Western squad, posted a pair of assists in the game but the Eastern Conference rallied with three straight third period goals to pull out a 9-8 win. His game jersey is a CCM-made affair, tagged in the collar by CCM with an additional Center Ice tag and a size 56 fly tag. The fight strap has been cut out of the inner tail, something typical of a Gretzky gamer. Everything is sewn-on here, including the All-Star shoulder patches and "Gretzky" across the nameplate. Wayne has autographed the back in black marker between the numbers and added his familiar "99". No real game use here, as is to be expected from a uniform worn for a skate and then as the team lined up to be captured by the photographer for posterity, includes a small mark on the white accent stripe at the lower front. Looking at the 'W' of "Western" on the front logo, just about in the middle, there is a loose thread which we can also see in a posed photograh of Gretzky wearing the jersey during the All Star Weekend. A digital image of the match will accompany the jersey. Complete with a letter of authenticity on CCM letterhead signed by Wayne Gretzky and the director of hockey at CCM, Brad Janson. All jerseys from the 1993-94 All-Star Game were signed by players and authenticated by Upper Deck. This one is no exception and it has the hologram on the back inside hem and comes with matching Certificate of Authenticity. [red] Addendum; Jersey is now registered with the MeiGray Group and comes with their documentation package. We added photos of these documents on the item listing on Classic's website.[/red]
