Sergei Babinov Koho and Boris Mikhailov Ryon sticks, both have cracks in the shaft. Both are taped and show great game use. The Mikhailov stick has no tape on the blade as he didn't prepare his sticks in that fashion. Babinov played on the Soviet National team for 14 season, most as captain. He is also a member of the Russian and Soviet Hockey Hall of Fame.  These rare sticks were used by the Russian Hockey team during a US exhibition tour in 1980.
