Chosen first overall by Pittsburgh in the 1984 draft, Mario Lemieux more than lived up to the hype as an 18-year-old rookie with the Penguins. Lemieux scored a goal on his first NHL shift at the Boston Garden on his way to a 100-point debut campaign in 1984-85, including 43 goals and 57 assists. This monstrous white-and-red Titan TPM 2020 stick has the "M. Lemieux" factory stamp on front of the shaft and a "Dec. 21 1984" date stamp low on the back of the shaft. Nice game use shows in black marks galore and red and blue paint transfer along the shaft, which has a noticeable gouge on the back edge in the middle of the upper "Titan" above Lemieux's name stamp. Both the knob and the blade are still wrapped with Lemieux's traditional black tape job, with the tape job on the blade worn through to display a clean and crack-free bottom edge. To note is a small sliver of a chip on the front edge of the heel and a tiny bit of separation of the wood where the blade attaches to the shaft above the heel. Preserved in excellent condition, this historic Mario Lemieux rookie-season gamer comes with an LOA.
