Wayne Gretzky/Leroy Neiman Framed Auto'd Serigraph

[moosejaw]

My pride and joy is up for sale to start a college fund for my son.

I purchased this mint condition Serigraph back in 1996, and had it framed and matted PERFECTLY, including museum quality plexiglass, which protects it from yellowing or fading.

The framing alone cost me $800-900.

I am hoping it will end up in the hands of a Gretzky fanatic. It is signed by Gretzky and Neiman with the best early Gretzky auto I have ever seen. The serigraph is out of /300.

The print lists at retail for 6k-8k, and I am asking 5500.00, since the framing is included.

Here is an auction from 2004 of one that sold for $5750.00, but my frame job kills this frame.

Here is another auction from classic auctions with a great photo example of the signature, although mine is full showing.

Any serious inquiries I will take some photos and email them to you.

Another item with a version of Gretzky's Auto that I have never seen before. Makes you wonder if all the UD cards are auto-penned.

Well, the Serigraph was done in 1981...so I think Gretzky most likely modified his auto to meet the sheer demand. It probably took him 9 seconds to do the original, and now takes him 1 second. hehe.

Time management.

Believe me, I trust your item way more then I would trust an auto from UD. Here is an example of my Gretzky that to this point everyone (including myself) believes is fake. it was supposedly signed in 1995:
