Another milestone item from the amazing career of Jaromir Jagr, we have the gloves worn by the superstar in his Art Ross and Lester B Pearson winning season of 1999-00, and they’ve been photo-matched! The gloves can be photo-matched as a pair in the regular season to Nov. 30th and December 7th 1999 Getty images, with the left glove then photo-matched to the playoffs on April 17th and April 21st 2000, when Jagr was now using a newer right hand glove. KOHO models, the heavily worn gloves in solid black have their identifiers screened-on, with “89” handwritten on the upper palm of the left glove along with a sticker on the inside that reads “1999-2000”. An LOA from Classic Auctions will accompany.
Both gloves exhibits considerable use, with extensive wear and abrasions to the leather including heavy rubbing, along with numerous rips along seams. Each glove also shows repairs, evidence of just how much this pair was favoured and extensively used by Jagr. A piece of tape that will be included was previously affixed to one glove, and it states “99-2000 Scoring Title”. The 1999-00 season would witness Jaromir score 96 points in just 63 games, better than a point-and-a-half average per game!
