Drafted 200th overall by the New Jersey Devils in 1990, Corey Schwab would enjoy an NHL career that saw him play 147 career games split between New Jersey, Tampa Bay, Vancouver and Toronto with his second stint in New Jersey seeing him win the Stanley Cup in 2003. Up for grabs here, is this photo-matched Tampa Bay Lightning third jersey worn by Schwab during the 1998-99 season. Made by CCM, both “Goalie Style” and size “60” tags are affixed to the inner collar while the emblems of CCM and the NHL shield have been embroidered into the jersey’s reverse hem. Decorated over the front with a Tampa Bay team crest that exhibited a mixture of textured and embroidered details, a 1999 NHL All-Star Game patch, which was hosted by the Lightning, has been added over the right breast. A lightning storm and angry ocean design, the sleeves and verso have been accented with Schwab’s number “32” in dual layer tackle twill numerals while “Schwab” has been spelt out in matching style across the affixed matching arched nameplate at the top of the back. Exhibiting good game-wear, hard to see puck marks are present over both sleeves with a dark one that is easily observed found over the right shoulder. Additionally, the bottom ends of both sleeves have been cut for mobility and the bottom hem of the jersey on both sides appears to have been taken in. Showing some fabric frays and pulls throughout, an unrepaired cut is observed under the team crest at the lower front and a thin line of red post paint transfer is seen through the first “C” in “CCM” on the reverse as well as other assorted marks. Regarding the aforementioned photo-match, the jersey is matched with Getty Image #53132681 (December 12th, 1998 vs New York) to the dark puck mark over Schwab’s right shoulder. The jersey comes accompanied by a Lightning LOA.
