Description
This is an authentic Edmonton Oilers souvenir hockey puck featuring the hand-signed autograph of fan-favorite enforcer Georges Laraque, including his jersey number #27. The signature is executed in a silver paint pen, which provides a high contrast against the black rubber. The puck features the classic Oilers drop-logo in the center and is presented in a mirrored glass display case.
Key Features
Hand-signed by NHL legend Georges Laraque; includes player number #27; high-contrast silver ink; includes mirrored display box; popular player among Oilers fans.
Authenticity Indicators
The signature matches known examples of Laraque's 'G' and flourish; the inclusion of #27 is standard for his era. Confidence is Medium-High, though a professional COA would be required to reach 'High' for serious collectors.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface scratches on the puck from handling; the display case base shows light dust and faint spotting on the mirror glass. Signature lacks a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for sports collectors), Facebook Marketplace (local Edmonton/Alberta groups), or SidelineSwap.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Enforcer', 'Signed', 'Laraque', and 'Oilers'. Mention that it comes with the mirrored display case. Clean the glass of the case thoroughly before photographing to improve presentation. Offer shipping to Canada, as the primary market is in the Edmonton area.
