For U.S. bidders only. Canadian friends also welcome if you agree completely to the terms at the end of this description.

Available in this auction is a stunning 1976-77 Atlanta Flames game used game worn Willi Plett jersey. This Rawlings durene jersey is Willi's ROOKIE jersey (that is certain since 76-77 was the last season Atlanta wore durenes).


Jersey is a size 52 and shows heavy use with tons of marks, blood stains, one repair on a sleeve, and tons of general filth on the stomach and lower sleeves. Also has good pilling inside the sleeves. Shows faint TV nameplate removal on the back, with no snags there, you can just see it barely if you twist the back of the jersey in the light and are looking for it.
 Comes with an LOA from Rich Ellis of The Spirit of the Game stating he bought it from a former trainer who got it from the Atlanta Flames trainer.

 Auction also includes a 1977-78 Atlanta Flames calendar that has one large photo that might be a photo-match for this jersey but I think it is inconclusive. Calendar also has another photo of Willi from behind, with no nameplate, and the numbers line up with my jersey.

 Willi was one of the NHL's most popular players ever. He won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year while wearing this sweater and also was one of the NHL's top fighters and enforcers throughout his entire career. He was a guy that could play the game and fight. He also played for Calgary, Minnesota and Boston.

Jersey is from my personal collection of Atlanta Flames jerseys. I have sought them since I started collecting in 1998 and once had over 20 of them. I am only offering this jersey for financial reasons.

Canadien friends VERY welcome too AS LONG AS you pay more for shipping and full insurance or you accept full responsibility for loss or damage in shipping.

 I can not take Paypal due to the fees they will charge me. E-mail me in advance if you want to work something out on that.
