Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction February 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/27/2018
A rare opportunity, Classic Auctions is pleased to announce yet another partnership with the historic Montreal Canadiens franchise, one that will bring to auction a large and impressive bounty of jerseys fresh from the vast and seldom offered holdings of the storied hockey club. Examples are present from 2006-07 to 2014-15, with both important game-issued and game-worn jerseys offered, with a direct line from the actual player and the Canadiens franchise – to you, our loyal bidders. Each desirable jersey has inventory numbers from the Canadiens, with each to be accompanied by a letter of authenticity on Canadiens letterhead.
A product of the University of Michigan, Max Pacioretty would spend parts of three seasons alternating between Hamilton and Montreal, with his first full season as a Hab occurring in 2011-12. We have a Canadiens alternate captain’s jersey that was worn by the American during the 2014-15 NHL regular season, and it’s been photo-matched. A partially sewn-down “56” size label is affixed to the collar including handwritten “3”, with NHL and Reebok crests on the front and back necklines respectively. Featuring the famous CH team crest partially-embroidered, the “Home Set 3” V-neck has been accented with dual-colour tackle twill sleeve and verso numbers, with the Jean Beliveau memorial “4” crest over the right breast. The team patch (A03658) sits on the inside hem, while a hologram numbered “GU14931” has been affixed to the reverse “7”, with a matching LOA from the Canadiens to accompany.
Game-wear includes a few marks and faint burns over each sleeve, with considerable pilling to the interior. There is also wear to the team crest along the upper left corner, with a material-backed team repair over the front inside hem. We should also note that customized sleeves with velcro added have been utilized. Getty Image #467962756 from March 28th 2015 has been matched to the loose threads in the middle of the alternate captain's "A", and to the team repairs on the left side of the front hem, while Getty Image #467930340 (also from March 28th) has been matched to the loose threads in the middle of the alternate captain's "A".
