GUEST: I'm a sports fan.

I'm a baseball fan primarily, but I do love hockey and I love Wayne Gretzky.

He was at a sports show right after he broke the record, and he signed it for my dad for me.

This is a stick signed by Wayne Gretzky.

It was after he broke the goal record in '94.

GUEST: So he signed it with an 802.

My dad gave it to me when I was 12.

My dad worked for Easton Sporting Goods and they used to do super shows every year.

He became well-acquainted with Wayne Gretzky.

APPRAISER: So, yes, what we have here is a Easton game-issued stick for Wayne Gretzky.

I think most people will agree, Wayne Gretzky is the greatest hockey player of all time.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: He's the Babe Ruth of hockey.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: March 23, 1994.

GUEST: Yes.

APPRAISER: He surpasses Gordie Howe... GUEST: Mm-hmm.... APPRAISER: with his 802nd goal.

It was a huge deal.

Yeah.

It was one of the biggest moments in NHL history.

Now, he didn't play with this stick... GUEST: Correct.

APPRAISER: ...but it was made for him with his specifications and everything else.

APPRAISER: And how we know that-- it has that stamp, right there.

GUEST: Yes.

APPRAISER: You have a beautiful Wayne Gretzky signature.

I mean, that's like an A-plus-plus signature.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: And he added the 802.

So we know definitively when it's from.

It's from one of the peaks of his career... GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: And it's just a beautiful stick.

Now, the other great thing is this photograph.

GUEST: Yeah.

(chuckles) APPRAISER: And it's a great picture of your dad with the Great One himself, and he's holding the stick.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: For collectors, to have that kind of provenance is, is just the best.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: You can't ask for better than that.

You might notice in the photograph, the stick looks gold.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: But that's because there's a mylar film that goes over the aluminum.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: And the light, the way it hit it, made it look gold.

GUEST: Yeah, that makes sense.

(chuckles) APPRAISER: Game issued-sticks aren't as desirable as a game-used stick, obviously.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: But this is a different kind of animal altogether.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: Because of the autograph, because of the provenance, and it's just a good-looking stick.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: So, I think, at an auction, I would estimate this between $2,000 and $3,000.

GUEST: (exhales, chuckles) APPRAISER: And I would insure it for no less than $5,000.

GUEST: Wow.

Yeah, that's... entirely over what I thought.

(laughs) It was-- it's never going anywhere, and it's not going back in the closet.

(laughing): I will, I will take care of it properly now.

APPRAISER: This is as good as it gets for a game-issued stick, without question.

GUEST: Wow, that's incredible.
