Perhaps the best goal scorer the National Hockey League has ever seen and having potted a total of 368 goals in only 562 games played during his career thus far, all with the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team that took him 1st overall at the 2016 Entry Draft, Auston Matthews would take his scoring touch to the next level during the 2023-24 campaign, falling just a single lamp lighter short of the seventy goal plateau. The first player in twenty-eight (28) years to to score more than 65 goals in a single season, last done by Mario Lemieux in 1995-96 and taking home the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy as the league's leading goal scorer at the end of the year, offered here is this pair of gloves worn by Matthews' during his record setting 2023-24 campaign. CCM Pro model mittens in Toronto's blue and white colourway that were worn by Matthews on October 19th against the Florida Panthers and October 21st against the Tampa Bay Lightning according to the accompanying Maple Leafs LOA, "Papi 34" identifiers have been screened over both wrists while "CCM" has been embroidered into both cuffs. Sporting good game-wear despite their limited use, stick marks are found over the outside of both gloves while rubbing is observed over both palms, appearing equal over both hands. Also showing light dirt marks over both cuffs and having had black marker ink stars penned to both palms along with "II" on the right one and "4" on the left one, the gloves have been conclusively photo-matched with Getty Image #1746733304 (October 19th, 2023 vs Florida) to the loose black and blue threads at the end at the top of the left cuff as well as to the dirt mark at the top left corner of the first "C" in "CCM" over the cuff. Additionally, Getty Image #1746735016 (October 19th, 2023 vs Florida) has been matched to the same dirt mark top left corner of the first "C" in "CCM" over the cuff
