In this sports memoir, Wayne Gretzky weaves memories of his legendary career with an inside look at professional hockey and the heroes and stories that inspired him.From minor-hockey phenomenon to Hall of Fame sensation, Wayne Gretzky rewrote the record books, his accomplishments becoming the stuff of legend. Dubbed "The Great One," he is considered by many to be the greatest hockey player who ever lived. No one has seen more of the game than he has--but he has never discussed in depth just what it was he saw. For the first time, Gretzky discusses candidly what the game looks like to him and introduces us to the people who inspired and motivated him: mentors, teammates, rivals, the famous and the lesser known. Weaving together lives and moments from an extraordinary career, he reflects on the players who inflamed his imagination when he was a kid, the way he himself figured in the dreams of so many who came after; takes us onto the ice and into the dressing rooms to meet the friends who stood by him and the rivals who spurred him to greater heights; shows us some of the famous moments in hockey history through the eyes of someone who regularly made that history. Warm, direct, and revelatory, it is a book that gives us number 99, the man and the player, like never before.

Easy to Use, Great Quality!

Works like a charm as long as you follow instructions. Great value for the price. I used the waterside decals to create custom memorial balloons and they turned out great. I received so many compliments and appreciation from the family. Would order again.

Works very well, easy to use, print great
Paper Size: 8.5-x-11-inch, Paper Size: 8.5-x-11-inch
This was my first time using this kind of decal and I found them to be pretty easy to use and effective. I followed the instructions and all of my projects turned out perfectly. Print quality was good and I had no issues with the ink drying.
I bought this because my kids love Bluey (the animated show from Australia) so I wanted to make them some wooden Bluey coasters. I bought some 1/2 inch thick poplar stock from HD, cut it into 3.5 inch squares and sanded them smooth. I added a coat of acrylic clear and let that dry, then lightly sanded it so that the water would not raise the grain of the wood. I followed the instructions for these decals and printed them out on my Canon inkjet printer. I let them dry for about 10 minutes and then took the sheets outside and sprayed them with acrylic clear coat twice, with a few minutes between coats, as the can said. I did it again the next day for a total of 4 coats. I cut them out and the submerged one in filtered cool water. While it was submerged, I wiped a coaster with a bit of water. After 20-30 seconds, I took the decal out and placed it on the coaster and gently slid the decal off the paper a bit, then I grabbed the paper backing and slid it out while I held the decal in place. I adjusted it a bit and then smoothed it out and dabbed it lightly with a clean towel. I checked for bubbles and smoothed more with wet fingers, then I dried them again with a towel and let the whole thing dry overnight. The next day, I sprayed 2 coats of acrylic clear coat and the same again a day later. Then I added thin felt pads to the back to let them slide on the table.
So far, they have held up well. The decals still look good and they aren't coming off. I did mess up one because I put on too thick a coat of acrylic by accident and it made the decal peel. One coaster was left with water on it overnight and there was no problem the next day when I wiped it off. Good coats of sealer are essential to seal the ink and the coaster, then the whole process seems to go well consistently. I had one or two decals in my second batch that ripped that were entirely my fault. You have to be gentle and I pulled too hard when repositioning the decal.
For sure I will buy these again. They are great for small projects for personal use.

Easy to follow instructions, odd colors
Paper Size: 8.5-x-11-inch
If you follow the instructions they go onto plastic like a dream. That being said expect to play with color settings a lot if you're doing anything other then blacks. Browns tend to bleach out and turn orange.
