Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/6/2018
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 2003-04 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 second-round draft selection in 2001, Mike Cammalleri has appeared for New Jersey, Calgary, Los Angeles and Montreal, and is currently with Edmonton. We have a Canadiens jersey that was worn by the Richmond Hill native in the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs, and it’s been photo-matched to the first three rounds! Size "52" tagging appears along the collar with handwritten “3”, with embroidered NHL and Reebok crests on the front and back necklines respectively. Styled with the famous and sacred CH team crest, the white V-neck has been accented with tri-colour tackle twill sleeve and verso numbers, with the Canadiens centennial crest over the right shoulder. The team patch numbered “A02063” sits on the inside hem, while a hologram affixed to the reverse number “3” matches the accompanying LOA from the Canadiens.
Dark marks are present over the sleeves and beneath the left shoulder, with faint burns over each elbow section. We should also note that the accompanying LOA erroneously states that the jersey was just “prepared” for Cammalleri. Regarding the aforementioned photo-matches, Getty Image #98689615 from April 23rd 2010 (Game Five of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals) has been matched to the black marks over the left elbow, while Getty Image #98836885 from May 2nd (Game Two of the Eastern Conference Semifinals) and Getty Image #99305554 from May 12th (Game Seven of the Eastern Conference Semifinals) have both been matched to the two black marks in the white panel over the left shoulder area. Finally, Getty Image #100698348 from May 24th (Game Five of the Eastern Conference Finals) has been matched to the big black marks on the left shoulder/arm area. Cammalleri led the Habs in goals (13) and points (19) during the 2010 playoffs.
