Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Spring 2013
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/18/2013
[red]Addendum; Take note that lot #4 and lot #5 as originally presented in our printed catalogue have been revised. Further research on the gloves has determined that these two lots, which were presented in the catalogue as pairs of photo-matched 1986-87 Wayne Gretzky game-worn gloves, were in fact mismatched. Although this is the way they were presented to us and it’s still a possibility they might have been worn the way they were originally presented in the auction catalogue, the gloves are now properly paired up the way they should have been and each glove is now photo-matched conclusively. In addition to each glove being conclusively photo-matched, each pair is also photo-matched together leaving no doubt they belong together and are actual pairs of photo-matched Wayne Gretzky 1986-87 game-worn Jofa gloves. The new description for this lot is listed below as well as new photos showing all of the photo-match details.[/red]
Treasured gloves offered were worn and signed by the greatest scorer in hockey history, the one and only Wayne Gretzky. The Great One wore these photo-matched Jofa 686 L leather beauties in Oilers blue, orange and white during the 1986-87 season, when he scored 62 goals, 121 assists and 183 points to claim his seventh straight Art Ross Trophy. Wayne also won his eighth straight Hart Trophy as the NHL's MVP. Both gloves have distinctive marks that clearly show in a posed photo of Wayne with Mario Lemieux in their NHL All-Star uniforms at Rendez-Vous 87. The right glove has a diagonal mark in the orange padding above the thumb and a big black mark on the white padding between the thumb and the blue padding on the back of the hand. The left glove displays the diagonal black mark on the white padding to the right of the bright orange number 99 decal, which is featured on the thumb of each glove. The left glove is also matched to two other photos of Gretzky at Rendez-Vous 87 by the black mark on the orange cuff padding and the diagonal black mark to the right of the Jofa tagging on the blue upper cuff, as well as other black marks and loose threads. These awesome photo-matched Gretzky gloves display great game use throughout, including nice wear on the tan leather palms. More game wear includes scuffs throughout. Wayne Gretzky's game-worn gloves from the height of the Edmonton Oilers' dynasty, it doesn't get better than this!
