Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2025
This photo-matched Carey Price 2019-20 Canadiens gamer is a beauty with obvious game wear. Price was well into the back nine of his illustrious career when he wore this red home gamer. Our consignor has conclusively photo-matched Price’s jersey to games in Montreal from Jan. 13 to Feb. 15, 2020, noting that though the dates do not align with those on the LOA that the Canadiens are “notorious” for having incorrect information on LOAs. The majority of the matches were done by matching up the distinct placement of dimples at the shoulders/neck and the distinct No. “31” on the verso that is unlike any jersey worn during the season. These placements have been compared to jerseys in other periods in the same game as Carey wore a different jersey each period; this jersey appears to be worn during the 2nd period (inconclusive).
Adidas Size 58 G is screened inside the back of the neck. Canadiens hologram sticker with GU29604 affixed to the No. “1” on the back corresponds to the one on the LOA signed by Habs equipment manager Pierre Gervais. The LOA states the jersey is Montreal’s “Home Set 1” and that it was worn by Price from Oct. 11 to Dec. 11, 2019, information that our consignor has proven to be inaccurate. Canadiens team patch sewn inside the rear tail displays registry no. A06558, which corresponds to the LOA. The fight strap is cut and there are a number of black marks that testify to its active duty during the 2019-20 season. Some provide the photo matches detailed below along with others, including a black mark on the right front of the white collar, a mark on the right front tail, and a black mark on the white stripe on the left sleeve.
