Hockey has something in common with baseball in that the number 500 holds a very exalted place of honor. In baseball, it's 500 home runs. In hockey, it's 500 goals scored. An extraordinary collection of game used sticks that took over forty years to assemble! This marvelous group was compiled by a noted collector and historian of the sport. 33 sticks (includes every NHL player who has reached this momentous plateau). All are encased in a custom glass display and many of them are autographed. Here they are with the years the sticks were used: Richard (late 50's)*, Howe (80)*, Bobby Hull (84)*, Beliveau (67), Mahovlich (early 60's), Espo (74), Bucyk (79)*, Mikita (78), Dionne (88)*, Lafleur (90)*, Bossy (86), Perreault (85), Gretzky (84)*, McDonald (82), Trottier (80's)*, Gartner (94), Goulet (88), Kurri (91), Ciccarelli (92)*, Lemieux (90), Messier (92)*, Yzerman (94), Hawerchuk (96), Brett Hull (92), Mullen (95)*, Andreychuk (94), Robitaille (96), Verbeek (00), Francis (03), Shanahan (01), Sakic (03)*, Niewendyk (91) and Jagr (03). Sticks that include autographs are marked with an asterisk (*). There's more. Sticks from three current players destined to join the magic "500" club: Fedorov, Roenick and Modano. Along with a stick from each of these players, you'll receive a hockey card of that player. Truly one of the greatest collections of any sort ever made available to the public.
