There may not be a more popular line of sports art currently in the memorabilia market than Upper Deck Authenticated’s Tegata. UDA has honored some of the top athletes in history in various sports with this truly unique piece that includes an ink handprint which is then autographed and surrounded by a collage of images from his or her great career. Bobby Orr has now followed in the footsteps of Wayne Gretzky and Patrick Roy to be the only hockey greats to have Tegatas made of them. A “Tegata” is a traditional form of Japanese memorabilia that is reserved only for the most superior athletes. Utilizing handmade Japanese Hamada paper, Orr has inked his left hand in black and included an authentic Inkan stamp which aligns with the traditional craft. The overall keepsake, which measure 36″ wide by 36″ high, includes a 9.5″ by 10.5″ inset center upon which Orr’s hand has been inked and is surrounded by a double-matted collage style background of images from his Hall of Fame career. Orr performed the “Tegata” process under supervision of UDA officials and helped in the hand-crafting of 50 uniquely authentic stamps by stamping the paper himself. The limited-edition silver autographed hand print is guaranteed authentic by virtue of Upper Deck Authenticated’s Five-Step Authentication Process.
