Never missing an NHL All-Star Game throughout his unrivaled and unmatched career, Wayne Gretzky holds the all-time record for goals scored in All-Star appearances with 13 over 18 games played. Captaining the Western squad in 1996, Wayne would be held pointless as the Western Conference would end up on the losing end of a 5-4 score. This jersey made for Wayne is a CCM made affair with all of the correct specifications and was most likely an extra jersey made in addition to the five official ones that were prepared for the event itself. A single size 56 fly tag is affixed to the collar, with dual embroidered NHL and CCM crests over the reverse bottom hem. Featuring a partially embroidered twill “Western” team crest, Gretzky’s famous “99” appears over the sleeves and verso in layered tackle twill, with “Gretzky” sewn directly to the upper reverse in matching material. A Kings crest sits on the left shoulder with a 1996 All-Star Game crest on the right. Originally gifted by Gretzky to the CCM pro rep, the jersey still has its fight strap on the inside, something not commonly found on Gretzky gamers, and is void of the Sports Registry barcode that would be found affixed near the fight strap. The inside of the rear hem does have Wayne’s sewn in velcro to keep the left side tucked in. Regarding condition, the jersey has pills and pulls over the lower front and reverse with a pill also found on the right cuff as well. A small spot on both the right sleeve and first “9” of the left sleeve are also seen. Additionally, Wayne has signed within the first reverse “9” in black marker, adding a personalization “To Denis” along with “Your Friend” with both the autograph and personalization displaying strongly. A hologram from ACA numbered “13334” is affixed to the bottom of the signed number and is accompanied by an LOA stating the jersey is game-used though we are not offering it as such.
