Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
A product of the WCHL's Lethbridge Broncos who would be drafted 15th overall by the New York Islanders at the 1978 NHL Amateur Draft, Steve Tambellini would go on to play a total of 553 games in the National Hockey League over the course of his career with the likes of New York, Colorado, New Jersey, Calgary and Vancouver. Winning a Stanley Cup with the Islanders in 1980 and also having represented Team Canada on a trio of occasions, offered here is this Canucks jersey worn by Tambellini during the 1985-86 season. A CCM made offering with a partially detached Ultrafil label affixed to the inner collar, a fully affixed born-on date tag reading "85 07" is present underneath. Measuring out to roughly a size "48", an oversized CCM logo patch has been sewn on over top of the other tonal CCM emblem that has been embroidered into the reverse hem. Decorated over the front with a Canucks team crest that features embroidered details throughout, an "Expo 86" patch has been placed atop of the right breast while a "City of Vancouver 100th Anniversary" crest is found over the right sleeve. Having had Tambellini's number "20" sewn to the sleeves and verso in dual layer yellow-over-orange stacked tackle twill numerals, "Tambellini" is spelt out in matching style letters across the affixed matching nameplate across the top of the back. Still retaining its original fight strap on the interior, albeit with rusting and salt in the snaps, the jersey shows good game-wear with team repairs through the front crest and over/behind the left shoulder while light stick marks exist over the front, reverse and both sleeves. Also showing board paint transfers over the lower reverse and board burns over the sleeves, pilling is observed over the outside of both sleeves as well while a couple of small unrepaired cuts/holes from slash marks/board burns are found throughout also. Finally, good/heavy pilling is found on the interior of the jersey as well. Of note, it should be pointed out that the nameplate is an original though was removed and reattached at some point with the outline of its former placement observed over the upper back.
