This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/3/2024
Featuring the penmanship of some of the best players to ever play in the National Hockey League, offered here is this lot consisting of a stick signed by thirty (30+) plus former NHLers. A Jofa BC 9000 model example with "6" and "Left" stamped over the upper shaft, the stick retains its original foil accent sticker around the bottom of the shaft and appears to have never been taped. Remaining in overall good condition with just some handling marks and abrasions found throughout. Hailing from the personal collection of 1984 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Phil Esposito and accompanied by his signed LOA, the stick has been signed over both sides of the shaft by approximately thirty-one (31) former NHLers in a mix of red marker and blue ballpoint pen. With most of the autographs displaying well despite some fading and some that show liquid smudging, notables that have signed the stick include Esposito along with Bobby Orr and Gordie Howe (liquid smudging) as well as Alex Delvecchio, Don Awrey, Camille Henry, Bobby Hull, Ted Lindsay, Craig Patrick, Andy Bathgate, Harry Howell and Bob Nevin among others.
Additionally, also included with the signed stick is a stick used by Dale Hunter as a member of the Washington Capitals during the mid-1990s. A Hespeler 5500 model offering with "D. Hunter" stamped over the upper shaft, the stick retains its original tape job of white around the shaved handle/knob, with "32" penned over it in black marker ink. Also sporting a black wrapping around the blade, the stick shows game-wear via a number of marks and abrasions throughout the length of the shaft as well as some light marks over both sides of the blade as well. Having had "179.1" penciled over the underside of the lower shaft, the stick has been signed over the forehand side in black marker ink by names such as; Sergei Gonchar, Mike Engles, Andrew Burnette, Olaf Kolzig, Ken Klee, Jeff Nelson, Kevin Kaminski, Keith Jones, Calle Johansson, Craig Berube, Kelly Miller and others. All the autographs display well and without issue.
