Hespeler stick is unused and untaped, signed by hockey's GOAT, Wayne Gretzky. Model 5500 is for a left-handed shot with Gretzky stamped in black on the shaft. The Great One has signed his name along with his number 99 on the untaped blade in bold 9/10 Sharpie. There is some white residue on the back of the blade, possibly tape or paint, which does not at all impact the signature of the NHL's all-time leader in goals (894), assists (1,963), and points scored (2,857).
