After having his #99 jersey number retired league-wide at the 2000 NHL All-Star Game, the Los Angeles Kings postponed their retirement ceremony of Wayne Douglas Gretzky jersey until 2002. On October 9, 2002 the Los Angeles Kings raised the #99 to the rafters inside of the Staples Center arena. Along with having his number retired, the team unveiled a life-sized statue of the 'Great One' outside of Staples Center and had the current roster all wear the iconic #99 jersey before the game. This limited edition (/199) 16" x 20" 'Respect' image captures the current roster on the ice with their tribute Wayne Gretzky jerseys on. Gretzky has signed this photo in black felt tip marker. You will receive a random number from this edition. The photo you receive will be of equal quality to the one photographed below.
