Canadian Tire bids $200,000 for Paul Henderson's '72 Team Canada Jersey

I'm hearing nearly a million now.

 

Yup, $1.067 M and counting.

 

Back from a late dinner.

Like Gomer says, still going:

Site says last bid was three hours ago but the item is still listed under Ten Minute Rule.

What?

 

Must have something to do with figuring out the exchange rate.

I have to go to bed.

Hope you win, Canucks.

 

Canadian Press story had the auction company spokesperson quoted as saying they expect it to go late into or possibly through the night until a winner is made official.

 

It goes for over one million dollars.

The winner bid of $1,067,538 (the auction was in U.S. dollars) was submitted by Mitchell Goldhar, the owner of SmartCentres, a private real estate development company based in Vaughan, north of Toronto.

 

Don't forget the fees: $1.275 million.

So where does it end up?

Where Henderson wants?

The HHof?

Is the buyer a collector?

 

I think this guy is atoning for afflicting us with Power Centres.

 

Share with the class.. what will he do with the jersey?

Is he a collector who will keep it or donate it to one of the halls?

 

Wonder how much an authentic game-worn Paul Henderson Birmingham Bulls (WHA) jersey would go for?
