MARK MESSIER GAME USED ROOKIE HOCKEY STICK AND LOT
CINCINNATI STINGERS HOCKEY WHA WORLD HOCKEY ASSOCIATION
My father purchased this collection about 25 years ago from a member of the Cincinnati Stingers Boosters Club. At the end of each season they had a banquet for the Boosters, and at that time they could purchase game used items and souvenirs from that season. I have always known that the stick was a Game Used Messier Stick, but until recently had been unaware that this was his rookie season.
1- The Stick is game used, and marked (in marker) Messier on the side, and is a Left Handed, Sher-Wood, Model P.M.P. 5030 - Made In Canada.
The stick shows great game use, with no apparent cracks. This is all original, and has never been messed with.
2- Original Cincinnati Stingers Booster Jacket, belonging to a 'Chris' . Jacket is in Super condition, with tons of patches, buttons, and other WHA memorabilia. Jacket is a size small, but looks to be more of a Medium to a Large ?
3- Game used Cincinnati Stingers Hockey Puck. This is an actual WHA OFFICIAL CINCINNATI STINGERS GAME PUCK- NOT to be confused with the souvenir pucks of the period.
4- 1978-79 Cincinnati Stingers Hockey Program with a full page picture of their rookie player-MARK MESSIER. Program is in MINT CONDITION.
This was part of my fathers extensive hockey collection. I know very little about the sport, or the players. I have tried doing some research for the approximate value of the items listed, but could not find anything, on any of the them. I do know that all items were originally purchased from the Cincinnati Stingers, and are as described. I am starting the bidding out at what I think is a low price ?
Thanks for looking.
