Default O/T -- Multi-million dollar hockey stick

Posted By: Paul

I don't know if any of you saw this story, but a hockey stick has apparently sold for $2.2 Million.

I guess it's not just the baseball fans who are well-funded and willing to spend it.

Default O/T -- Multi-million dollar hockey stick

Posted By: Joann

I saw that earlier today on msnbc.com. Amazing. I think there was a bat that was thought to be one of the first bats - maybe 1840's or before - in one of the recent bigger auctions. Like this one, that one looked a lot like a stick with a little shape carved into it. It didn't go for anywhere near $2.2M.

I wondered if that was because there is no such thing as the "first bat", and thought maybe the price difference was because somehow this can really be called the "first hockey stick" - or at least the first known hockey stick. Still, it seemed to me like an earliest bat would go for more than an earliest hockey stick if for no other reason than that baseball has a much bigger fan base.

Anyone else remember the bat and what it went for compared to the hockey stick?

Joann

Actual price was $2.2 million Canadian or $1.9 million US

Still someone north of the Border has given a whole new meaning
to the phrase...walk softly but carry a big stick!

Wonder who the kind gentleman was who is loaning it to the Hockey Museum..
also would like to meet the under-bidder....

Has anyone ever bought or sold an item on the Web Auction service
that handled this Big Stick

The stick has been on ebay a couple of times and never sold. This sale sounds fishy.

So he bids what he wanted to "donate" anyway, and the museum gets the publicity of a multimillion dollar deal... hook, line and sinker... fishy.
