Vintage September 24, 1979 photograph of Wayne Gretzky in uniform with the Edmonton Oilers as his team was set to battle the Canadian Olympic Team in Medicine Hat, Alberta. A preseason rarity, this was actually the second time ever that Gretzky suited up in an Edmonton jersey (as an NHL player not as a member of the WHA) before he ever played a regular season game in the NHL. An exceptional piece of history, this was developed on Kodak paper with watermarks on the back and it has been certified as a Type 1 from PSA and encapsulated. This is one of only two examples of this photograph from the same source that have appeared in the hobby with the other example selling for $12,383 in the Goldin Auction of May 4, 2024! A perfect 10/10 that is among the greatest images of Gretzky ever taken!
