Okay, here's the story. I got a stick off of my old boss about 10-12 years ago. This guy was super rich and was having a garage sale, most of the stuff he was selling was nicer than what most people consider their keeper stuff. Anyway, I stopped in to say hello and noticed that he was selling some sports stuff including a signed flames stick.
He claimed that he bought it a long time ago (guessed very early 90's) at a charity auction. He told me that when he bought it they said it was a game used MacInnis stick from 88-89. I have no reason not to believe what he said, the guy was a multi millionaire and he went to charity auctions lots of times. At the time I wasn't making a ton of money but he could tell I liked it so he told me I could have it for $40.00, he didn't remember (or care) what he paid for it.
It has been sitting in a spare closet for the last decade but the memorabilia thread in the other forum reminded me of it so I pulled it out to take a look. Some of the names don't seem to jive on the stick. For starters there are autographs from Neil Sheehy and what appears to be Yves Corteau? Also the name on the stick says "MCINNIS". I'm guessing that it is a game used MacInnis stick and someone got it autographed at some sort of Flames Alumni event.
Any opinions?
Any thoughts on value?
