From Rich Mueller at the American Chronicle,
This week, Classic’s [auction] sale was highlighted by a circa 1946 Bill Mosienko Chicago Blackhawks game used wool sweater plus socks and shin pads which sold for $25,390. A 1951-52 Chuck Rayner New York Rangers game worn jersey brought $20,938 while a 1974 Phil Esposito Stanley Cup-worn Boston Bruins shirt sold for $14,272.
Among the hundreds of hockey pieces sold were several from the collection of a former Edmonton Oilers’ public relations man. Bill Teule’s 1986-87 Stanley Cup trophy brought 19 serious bidders and closed at $21,000. The Oilers’ next title came the following season and that trophy brought $20,000.
One unique piece from Teule’s collection was a napkin signed multiple times by a young Wayne Gretzky. Teule and Gretzky sat in a restaurant in the early 1980s when the hockey superstar showed his friend the variations of his autograph. Teule kept the napkin, never dreaming it would someday sell for $2,341.
