Hockey Memorabilia Auction - Spring 2008
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/10/2008
Perfect pairing of CCM Tacks boots and blades carried The Great One around the rink during his first season in New York. Custom sizing (6 1/4 N and 5 3/4 N) measure out to the same size as his later Nike Zooms which are marked a half size bigger on each boot. A telltale Gretzky trademark are the black Perfecta SLM blade holders, Wayne’s preferred style dating back to 1980. Gretzky wore Tacks during the twilight of his time in Los Angeles, again in St. Louis and with Team Canada at the World Cup. He was wearing CCM to start the season in New York with the Rangers and switched to Nike boots midway through 1996-97. Decent usage with a number of good marks and slashes, some interior wear and scuffing at the toes… no doubt this pair felt good on those famous feet. From the collection of Former New York Rangers equipment manager Mike Folga with his signed letter of authenticity and provenance.
