Description
This is a Grant Fuhr Edmonton Oilers miniature jersey display. It features a blue and orange knit mesh jersey with the classic Oilers logo centered on the chest. The jersey is mounted on a plastic stand with a base that features a printed facsimile signature and 'Grant Fuhr' text. Perfect for a desk or sports memorabilia shelf. Approximate height is 6-8 inches.
Key Features
Features Hockey Hall of Fame goalie Grant Fuhr; classic 80s/90s Oilers color scheme; unique miniature format for desk displays; printed signature adds aesthetic appeal for fans.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence level: High (as a novelty item). The signature is clearly printed into the base design rather than applied with a marker, indicating this is a mass-produced display piece rather than a hand-signed collectible.
Flaws to Note
Fraying at the collar seam; the signature is a facsimile (printed), not an original hand-signed ink autograph. The interior support form is slightly visible through the neck opening.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for sports memorabilia reach), Facebook Marketplace (local Edmonton groups if applicable), or a sports collectible stall at a flea market.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Grant Fuhr', 'Edmonton Oilers', 'Mini Jersey', and 'Desktop Display'. Be sure to clarify in the description that the signature is a facsimile to avoid buyer disputes. Note the exact height. This item would sell better as part of a 'lot' of Oilers memorabilia.
