This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/18/2019
Replacing the NHL's all-star festivities for the 1978–79 NHL season, the 1979 Challenge Cup featured the Soviet Union national ice hockey team taking on a squad of NHL All-Stars in three contests at Madison Square Garden, on February 8th, 10th, and 11th. We have a photo-matched 1979 Challenge Cup NHL All-Stars jersey worn by HOF superstar Bryan Trottier. With a large Cosby label with “50” sizing tightly affixed to the inner collar, the vintage durene feature’s an embroidered NHL shield team crest, with matching crests over each shoulder and orange-over-black layered tackle twill sleeve and verso numbers. “Trottier” appears affixed directly over the upper reverse in individual black twill letters with embroidered orange trim, with no fight strap utilized. Also included are a ticket stub from the second game and a Russian pin advertising the series, with an LOA to also accompany.
Exhibiting a few dark marks over the front including a stick mark beneath the team crest, there is also a bit of yellow staining over the right elbow and upper left sleeve, with a small amount of red paint transfer over the left elbow. Two included numeric images have been matched to the big black mark on the right shoulder area, and to the pair of black marks located above the top left corner of the team crest. The ticket stub is 2 ¾” x 5”, with light wear and a crease, with just light wear including a few scratches to the 2 ½” pinback. Trottier took home the Art Ross and Hart Memorial Trophies that season, scoring 134 points including 47 goals.
