This photo is from Gretzky's final game at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens 12/19/1998. Gretzky finished the game with 2 assists and 1 SOG. Sundin finished the game with 1 assist, +1, and 1 SOG. The final score ended with Toronto beating the to New York Rangers 7-4. Both signatures were obtained in Toronto. 1 Wayne Gretzky's autograph was signed at the 1999 NHL Awards Dinner. 6/24/1999 4X6 Photo of Signing (Included). Gretzky won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy at the 98-99 awards celebration. 2 Mats Sundin signature was obtained outside Maple Leaf Gardens before a game in early 1999.

The 8X10 photo has a natural darker hue throughout the piece. Please refer to the original photo (Getty Images). It appears, based on the shadows of players and referee on the ice, that photo was taken while lights in arena were lowered and not fully illuminated. The image looks sharp and the whites of Sundin's and Gretzky's jerseys are bright.

The autographs are signed in distinct BLUE sharpie and are both well signed and without smearing. Since both signatures were obtained in-person I do not have a COA for this listing, but I did send photos of the piece and signatures to BECKETT AUTHENTICATION SERVICES for signature review. The conclusion was that both signatures are "Likely to Pass Full Authentication".
