"The highlight item of the auction is Bill Watson's 1985 Hobey Baker Award. The award is given to the top player in men's college hockey and Watson earned his playing for the University of Minnesota-Duluth. According to the auction house, this is the first publicly available Hobey Baker Award ever offered for sale. It comes from the person collection of Bill Walton and has a $5,000 starting bid."
"Several game used jerseys from various eras are up for auction and two stand above the rest. First is a Doug Harvey New York Rangers jersey from the Original Six era (specifically the early 1960s). The wool sweater was heavily used, with over 50 team repairs noted, and comes from the collection of one of Harvey's friends who had personally gifted him the game used jersey."
"The next jersey is a late 1980s Pittsburgh Penguins Mario Lemieux sweater. This specific jersey is said to be photo matched to six specific games, thanks to things such as a smudge from a white board appearing on the jersey and the removal of the "A" for alternate captain. Meigray certifications and a letter from the Penguins' then-equipment manager attest to it being worn during the 1986-87 NHL season."
Classic Auctions presents a live Fall Auction of unique hockey memorabilia with notable, possibly one-of-a-kind items. The top lot is Bill Watson's 1985 Hobey Baker Award, tied to his play at the University of Minnesota-Duluth and offered with a $5,000 starting bid from the Bill Walton collection. Multiple game-used jerseys are featured, including a heavily repaired Doug Harvey New York Rangers wool sweater from the early 1960s gifted by a friend. A late 1980s Mario Lemieux Pittsburgh Penguins sweater is photo-matched to six games and supported by Meigray certifications and an equipment manager's letter. Two lots originate from the California Golden Seals franchise, including Gerry Ehman's 1967-68 jersey.
