Default Gretzky

I once owned a paper table cloth overlay from Wayne Gretzky's restaurant that was signed by Wayne approx 80 times (also had his Dad Walter's sits and many doodles). Wayne was visiting his restaurant, sitting at table and people we're filing over to see him all night. Wayne had a sharpie in his hand and rather absent-mindedly signed his name over and over again between conversations and providing autos.

The thing was approx 3 feet by 3 feet and was signed from all angles and sides - as the guys moved around the table throughout the night. I wish I had a picture of it, because knowing the collector who bought it, it will never see an auction etc until his passing.
