It's not real in my opinion and it appears to be on a knockoff jersey. These are real ones, and yes, they are not inexpensive. https://www.fanatics.com/?query=wayne%20gretzky%20jersey&_ref=p...

Thank you Steve.

In what i read there is difference in signature which have been done on go private or within organised signing session.

See what others say if you want. There are remarkably good Gretzky forgeries.

I wouldn't put any stock in any Gretzky item that you haven't witnessed Wayne sign personally or been certified by Upper Deck.

Thanks.. It does make perfect sense.I thought these 3rd parties like psa or jsa should give assurance at some capacity.

I believe the signature is authentic.

It looks like he signed an unstitched number that was later sewn on a knock off jersey.

Thank you Peter.

Jersey itself really is secondary for me in this instance. I live in UK so it would be difficult to get sogned in person and buy directly from upper deck with custom charges and post will make item very unaffordable.

I think the signature is good.  Didn’t see his typical 99 written in though.  As already mentioned, I would stick with a UDA signature if possible.  His signature is so easily forged and many are very difficult to tell.

Thank you Steve. 

Yes in ideal world UDA would be the place to go...but cost is just slightly over affordable for me as need to include for customs and postage.

It is a risk i know hence am desperately trying to get experienced guys take on this forum.

Truth is am starting to enjoy being in discussion about autographs as it has been my interest and weakness at same time.
