Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2011

In his seven full seasons with the Maple Leafs, Rick Vaive never scored fewer than 32 goals and his career total of 299 in a Toronto uniform is surpassed only by Sittler, Keon and Ellis. Named team captain in 1981, Rick Vaive donned this CCM white knit home jersey during the mid-1980s. Tag in the neck is no longer present while a CCM patch is embroidered into the rear hem with the period-correct asterix up in the top right corner. The Leafs crest, the captain's "C", the numbers and "Vaive" across the nameplate are in tackle twill and sewn-on. Jersey shows nice game use with a couple of 1-inch team repairs on the front where a few light burns and stick marks can be spotted, along with two small stains. Light snags, pulls and burns are on the shortened sleeves and a 1-inch repair is higher up on the right one. We note the outline of a former placement of an earlier "C" on the shirt. This wonderful knit was offered originally back in 2005 when we auctioned the Rick Vaive Collection and although we will issue a letter of authenticity, no letter of provenance from Vaive will accompany the jersey.
