Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction November 2024
A veteran of 704 games in his National Hockey League career after being drafted 234th overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins at the 2002 NHL Entry Draft, Maxime Talbot, a product of Rouyn-Noranda, Hull and Gatineau in the QMJHL, would suit up for Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Colorado and Boston during his eleven (11) years in the league. Scoring both Pittsburgh goals in the deciding Game 7 of the 2009 Stanley Cup finals to seal the deal for the Penguins, offered here is this Penguins jersey worn by Talbot during the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals. Made by Reebok, a lone size "56" label is affixed to the inner collar while the logo patches of both the NHL and Reebok adorn the front and reverse necklines respectively. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a Penguins team crest that features embroidered details throughout, the all-important 2008 Stanley Cup Finals patch is in place over the right breast. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Talbot's number "25" in dual layer tackle twill numerals, "Talbot" is spelt out in matching style letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Signed by both Talbot and Penguins equipment manager Dana Heinze in black marker ink over the fight strap on the interior, which has had a "2007-2008 Stanley Cup Finals" patch sewn over top of it, the jersey shows game-wear including stick marks and team repairs over both sleeves as well as a small stick mark over the left shoulder and a red board paint transfer that goes through the "Pittsburgh 250" patch over the right shoulder. Accompanied by a Penguins COA, the jersey has been photo-matched with Getty Image #81313347 (May 26th, 2008 vs Detroit - Stanley Cup Finals Game 2) to the team repair over the "2" on the left sleeve and with Getty Image #81359653 (June 2nd, 2008 vs Detroit - Stanley Cup Finals Game 5) to the team repairs over the "2" of the left sleeve. Finally, Getty Image #81377082 (June 2nd, 2008 vs Detroit - Stanley Cup Finals Game 5) has been matched to the now repaired tear on the underside of the right sleeve. A Penguins COA will accompany the piece as well as copies of the photo-matches.
