Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe Dual Signed Framed "The Hook" (Limited Edition of 299)
This Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe Limited Edition, Dual Signed and Framed “The Hook” Photo comes with its original WGA Certificate of Authenticity, and Frameworth Sports Marketing Hologram and Letter of Authenticity (Approx. Finished Size: 21 ¾” x 30 ¾”).
This ultra-rare Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe dual-signed framed black and white “The Hook” photo dates back to 1972, when a 12-year-old Wayne Gretzky met his idol, Gordie Howe, the then-undisputed greatest player in the game.
Giving Gretzky his legendary “Mr. Hockey Hook”, little did Howe know just how intertwined their lives and careers would become. Taken at the 1972 Kiwanis "Great Men of Sports" Dinner in Brantford, Ontario by the late Jack Bowman of the Brantford Expositor, this photo has been signed by both legends beneath their respective image in black sharpie, with each signature presenting well.
In addition, a hologram from WGA has been placed in the lower right corner next to the limited edition inscription.
