Star Beginnings

Where it all started. For the first time ever in an Upper Deck Authenticated piece, Wayne Gretzky is showcased in his Indianapolis Racers uniform. Debuting at 17 years old, Gretzky's career as a Racer was short-lived (just eight games) before he was acquired by the Edmonton Oilers. However, it was the beginning, and an important one at that, of a career that turned into one of the best of all time. Gretzky's first professional hockey stop, his first time playing in the United States, and the precursor to a career that few will ever match.
