ONLY KNOWN SIGNED 1979 Wayne Gretzky WHA Oilers Birthday Photo RC Rookie JSA LOA

This photo was handed out to fans only during the January 26, 1979 WHA Edmonton Oilers game against the Cincinnati Stingers, celebrating Wayne Gretzky's 18th birthday. Due to how they were distributed, there were likely fewer than 20k of these produced (compared to likely over a million 1979-80 Topps Gretzky rookie cards). Additionally, the autograph is his rare early career, full signature rather than his more modern shortened auto. It is an iconic and truly unique piece for fans of The Great One. It includes a full JSA Letter of Authenticity (#YY88799).

Even the JSA Certificate number pays homage to Gretzky by ending in "99". It will also obviously pass PSA/DNA or Beckett authentication if you prefer to get it encapsulated.

It originally included printed text at the bottom, commemorating the celebration, but has been cut off of this particular item (a small amount of the text can still be seen along the bottom edge).
