Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2024
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/25/2024
The first major professional sports team to represent the City of Las Vegas, the Vegas Golden Knights, founded as an expansion team in the National Hockey League for the beginning of the 2017-18 season, have experienced considerable success in their young history, the Golden Knights qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs in their first four (4) seasons and reached the Stanley Cup Finals in their first season. Returning to the Cup Finals in 2023, Vegas would win their first Stanley Cup championship in five (5) games over the Florida Panthers. Offered here, we present this trio of Vegas Golden Knights items from their inaugural season of 2017-18 that includes a Tudor watch, jersey and season ticket presentation box. Starting with the watch, a Tudor made divers watch of the model 79230N (Heritage Black Bay), the timepiece features a black face with rose gold coloured accents and a Golden Knights logo. Sporting a steel bracelet and engraved on the back with "Vegas Golden Knights - Inaugural Season 2017/18 - VN - There Is No Substitute For Victory", the watch remains in overall excellent condition with only light wear and could definitely benefit from a professional cleaning. Additionally, the piece is accompanied by its original box, hang tags and papers plus an extra leather strap and link. For the jersey, a Fanatics made example with "XL" sizing and brand labels over the inner collar and lower front, a team store tag is also affixed to the inner collar while the front is decorated with a Golden Knights team crest that features textured details. Styled over the sleeves and verso with the number "17" in dual layer heat pressed tackle twill letters, "Vegas Strong" is spelt out in single layer white twill letters that have been heat pressed across the affixed nameplate at the top of the reverse. Remaining in excellent condition, there are no flaws to report. Finally, for the season ticket box, displaying Golden Knights logos all over and featuring a magnetic closure, opening it up reveals more team imagery and the quotes "The Battle Begins Now" and "2017 Inaugural Season Ticket Member". Including a commemorative Opening Night ticket and a Golden Knights scarf, the box is missing the lapel pin and shows just light wear overall to the corners and edges from handling.
All hailing from the personal collection of Vaclav Nedomansky, the Czechoslovakian hockey star that was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2019 and served as scout for Vegas for their first two (2) seasons, a Classic Auctions LOA will accompany the lot.
