Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction February 2025
A member of the famed “Triple Gold Club”, winner of the Hart Memorial Trophy in 1999 and 2nd place on the all-time scoring list, Jaromir Jagr remains the ageless wonder in the game of hockey, and he is currently playing in the Czech Republic with Rytíri Kladno. A two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Pittsburgh Penguins who currently sits second (2nd) on the NHL's All-Time Points Leaders list with 1921, Jagr would spend eleven (11) years in Steeltown as a member of the Penguins, serving as the team's captain between 1998-99 and 2000-01. Having his number retired by the club on February 18th, 2024, offered here is this Pittsburgh Penguins "Skating Penguin" third jersey worn by Jagr during his final season with the club in 2000-01, in which he won his fourth (4th) straight Art Ross Trophy, that has been photo-matched to his final game with the franchise on May 22nd, 2001. Made by Koho, a lone "Made in Canada" label that displays a size "56" designation is affixed to the inner collar which has had Jagr's number "68" and a "C" penned over it in black marker ink. Having had a Koho logo patch sewn on over the reverse neckline and the NHL shield emblem embroidered into the reverse hem, the jersey hails from the second (2nd) set of "Skating Penguin" third jerseys worn that year, being used between January 27th and May 22nd for a total of nine (9) games, in which Jagr played in eight (8) of. Decorated over the front with a Penguins team crest, done as homage to the crest last worn by the club in 1992, that includes embroidered details throughout its entirety, the distinguished captain's "C" is in place over the left breast while matching alternate logo crests have been placed atop of both shoulders. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Jagr's now retired number "68" in stacked tri-layer tackle twill numerals, "Jagr" is spelt out in matching style letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Retaining its fight strap on the interior, the jersey exhibits game-wear via stick marks over the front, reverse and both sleeves, board burns over both sleeves that are heavier over the left one, blue coloured board paint transfers over the left sleeve, board burns over both the lower front and reverse, a small unrepaired hole over the lower reverse and a small blue coloured board paint transfer through the bottom of the "8" on the reverse. Also displaying some light pilling on the interior, the jersey comes accompanied by Letters of Authenticity from the Penguins and MeiGray as well as from Casey Samuelson of PenguinsChronicles and GameWornAuctions.
Regarding the photo and video-matches, the jersey is conclusively matched to game footage from multiple games during the 2000-01 NHL season including on February 14th vs Minnesota, February 28th vs Montreal and May 22nd vs New Jersey (Eastern Conference Final - Game 5), Jagr's final game played with the Penguins. Additionally, the jersey is conclusively matched with Getty Image #596154, #640081 and #596080 (May 22nd, 2001 vs New Jersey - 2001 Eastern Conference Final Game 5) to various stick marks seen throughout the left sleeve.
