Who could have ever guessed that when Jaromir Jagr donned this Pittsburgh Penguins jersey during his rookie campaign in 1990-91, the Czech superstar would go on to become the all-time NHL points leader behind just Wayne Gretzky! Photo-matched to a pair of games from undated numeric images (2) from the 1990-91 season, the jersey was then later patched for the Stanley Cup finals and kept as a backup. We have seen a similar Penguins example that was photo-matched to the playoffs and prepared for use for the finals like our offered jersey, with the Stanley Cup patch added.
Maska Ultrafil tagging with handwritten “68” appears along the collar, with embroidered CCM and NHL crests over the back bottom hem. Styled with a textured Pens team crest, the solid black V-neck has been accented with dual-colour tackle twill sleeve and verso numbers, with the important aforementioned Stanley Cup finals crest situated just above the right breast. Marks are present over the lower front band, sleeves and team crest, with burns also visible over each elbow section. There is also a pair of small team repairs, situated over the upper left sleeve. Considering Jagr's hefty "all-time" status, this desirable rookie season garment will only grow in both importance and value as time goes on.
The first included numeric image has been matched to a number of marks on or around the "68" on the right sleeve, with many of the marks at least partially washed-out, and to the triangular-shaped marks along with a number of additional marks on the front bottom hem, with many of the marks at least partially washed-out as well. The second included numeric image has been matched to a number of marks on or around the "68" on the right sleeve, with many of the marks at least partially washed-out.
