One of the most prolific players the WHA saw in its short history with 484 points in only 300 games played and an additional 169 points in 170 NHL games with the New York Rangers between 1978 and 1983, Ulf Nilsson was one of the first European stars to play and succeed in North America. Offered here and hailing from his personal collection is this grouping of three signed jerseys including a multi-signed New York Rangers jersey autographed by Mark Messier, Vic Hadfield and Nilsson as well as signed Teemu Selanne Winnipeg Jets and Yvon Cournoyer Montreal Canadiens jerseys. The Rangers jersey is a pro on-ice style offering made by CCM with size “54”, CCM and Gerry Cosby labeling in the inner collar. Styled with “Rangers” across the front in drop shadow layered tackle twill, Nilsson’s number “11” and name is sewn to the sleeves and verso in matching style with the 1994 NHL All-Star Game patch over the right shoulder. Featuring the same collar tagging as game-worn Rangers jerseys in 1993-94 but void of the Cosby stamp on the fight strap, the jersey was likely made up and worn by Nilsson during the 1994 NHL All-Star Game weekend/festivities. The back numbers have been signed by Mark Messier, Vic Hadfield and Nilsson in blue ink, with the signatures showing well with some bleeding. A vintage style Winnipeg Jets jersey tagged a size “L” in the inner collar is also included. Part of the CCM Vintage Series and decorated with a partially embroidered Jets crest over the front in tackle twill, Selanne’s number “13” is sewn to the sleeves in blue twill numbers with “Selanne” spelt across the back in matching style on the affixed matching nameplate. The Finnish legend has signed the top of the back number “3” with a silver ink signature that shows well on the dark background with no flaws to mention. Lastly, a Montreal Canadiens jersey signed by Yvon Cournoyer rounds out the group. A Reebok size “L” offering with the famed “CH” crest on the front, Cournoyer’s number and name accent the sleeves and reverse in tackle twill with the Habs legend having signed the back number “1” with a blue ink signature that displays well with only light ink bleed present while the “2” alongside it shows a couple of faint red marks. All remaining in excellent condition, a signed LOA from Ulf Nilsson will accompany.
