Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury recently closed the book on a Hockey Hall of Fame-worthy career, taking one final bow with the team that drafted him in 2003.
Always considered a fan-favorite, those same fans now have the chance to get their hands on some autographed merchandise and game-worn equipment, with the proceeds of recently announced auctions benefitting the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation and the Boys and Girls Club of Western Pennsylvania.
Some of the items include signed pucks, signed photographs and jerseys.
The supposed “crown jewel” of the auction lot includes Fleury’s game-worn (and autographed) goalie mask that he donned against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sept. 27.
Fleury played the full third period, making eight saves. He also participated in a shootout to end his memorable night.
Those dedicated to collecting will have to shell out a pretty penny for the mask. As of Tuesday afternoon, there have been over 45 bids, with the bid price surpassing $30,000.
The auction will end at noon Eastern Time on Oct. 6. More information about the auction and a full list of collectibles can be found at this link.
