This card has a story behind it that’s as legendary as the man himself.
Canadian artist Chris Tutty created the original painting Gretzky Hook Up — a bold, explosive pop art portrait of Wayne Gretzky in his iconic LA Kings #99 jersey, paint-splattered and electric with energy. The painting was auctioned off at Craig Simpson’s Golf Tournament in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada — signed by The Great One himself — and raised $4,900 for the cause.
A painting signed by Gretzky. Auctioned at his teammate’s charity tournament. In Edmonton. That’s not just art — that’s hockey history.
Now that same energy lives on in this wickedly funny birthday card. Bold graffiti typography, neon pink and gold, paint splatter chaos, and the most recognizable face in hockey staring back at you with that look that says: “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
The perfect card for the hockey fan, the Gretzky devotee, the Edmonton Oilers faithful, or anyone who deserves to be told — on their birthday — to take the shot.
Not your typical card. Not even close.
