FORT McMURRAY, Alberta —

A jersey worn by Hockey Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky will go on the auction block this week in Montreal.


Sports collector Shawn Chaulk will sell the Edmonton Oilers' jersey worn by the Great One when he broke Phil Esposito's single-season scoring record of 76 goals. Gretzky broke the record with a hat trick against Buffalo in the last seven minutes of a game on Feb. 24, 1982.


Gretzky finished with a record 92 goals that season, a mark that still stands.


Chaulk says the jersey has ''significant wear'' and ''dirty'' with ''lots of marks and identifiable intricacies and burns.''
The price? Perhaps $250,000, he says.


Last summer, Chaulk sold a trove of game-used Gretzky sticks, pucks, skates, gloves and jerseys.

Probably from when he worked on his stick or from shaping skates

If it was around $10K, maybe ... but way out of my league ...

I do have a shit load of Gretzky cards from back in the day... when I was into that stuff. I should check if any Rookie cards.. probably have them. Not sure what they are worth though

betall, if you have old gretzky cards and they look like they are in MINT condition you need to have them graded by PSA they could be worth some money.

Yeah i use to be so into all Cards, have some Graded and others not graded.
After the market got screwed with all these new card companies , and prices dropped. I just gave up on it. But still have Shoe boxes and shoe boxes of cards.
I must have at least 200 gretzky cards, I'm almost sure that I have that 1979 O pee chee one

Guess I will have a little project going over the summer, if I have time.

Thanks
