The one-and-only mask worn by Jim Craig throughout the 1980 Winter Olympics is up for grabs. Incredibly, this includes both the USSR and Finland games. There is an original paper label inside advertising local mask manufacturer "Ernest C. Higgins" of Norwood, Massachusetts. It has dirt and some soiling from the Olympic Games, is made of heavy plastic, is approximately 13" high, and certainly most displayable. The shamrocks stickers on the sides were later removed by Jim and replaced with American Flags and then removed, though the shamrocks could be easily restored. Easily the finest goalie mask ever publicly offered, it will come with signed Letter of Authenticity and Provenance from Jim Craig, himself. Estimate: 250,000-350,000.
