“The Great One” is the leading point-scorer in NHL history, with more assists than any other player has points, and is the only NHL player to total over 200 points in one season – a feat he accomplished four times. In addition, he tallied over 100 points in 16 professional seasons, 14 of them consecutive. After his retirement in 1999, he was immediately inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, making him the most recent player to have the waiting period waived. The NHL retired his jersey number 99 league-wide, making him the only player to receive this honor. Inside the rear collar is the “Maska Ultrafil” tag with “54” written in black ink. Inside the right rear tail is a white strip tag with “99” embroidered in black stitching. Adjacent is a Velcro strip that Gretzky used to tuck in the right rear tail. On each outer tail is the “CCM” logo embroidered. On front is the “LOS ANGELES KINGS” large team crest. Adjacent at the left chest is the Captain’s “C” done in silver on white tackle twill. On each sleeve is player number “99” done in silver on black tackle twill. Player number “99” also appears on back. Across the back reads player name “GRETZKY” on a black nameplate. These numbers and letters are done in the same silver on white tackle twill. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion, shows appropriate use. This jersey was sourced from Hall of Famer Larry Robinson’s son-in-law over 20 years ago. Accompanied by a Casey Samuelson LOA.
