Carey Price Montreal Canadiens mask sells for $20,550

[indyred]

With all talk of Sanchez jersey selling for 20k, thought I post this sweet looking Carey Price goalie mask that fetched even more than that on NHL.com auctions. These are real pieces of art. Nice they have photo of him wearing it in the 100th Celebration game he used it in. Also included was tickets to a game and meet and greet.

Game used goalie masks with such cool art work have to be one of top pieces a game used NHL collector could own. Some of those artist do amazing work on those masks.

I was watching that as well, thought it would go for a good amount, but was a bit surprised at the final price. Great mask though. Value is also usually directly related to the artist who did the graphics.

I jumped the bidding when it reached 15K:( I also bid on his other mask as well.

Nice article on the masks. Makes the Remembrance Day mask a steal at 7k compared to the 20k for Centennial game worn mask.

There is a goalie mask collector in Florida who has an amazing collection and I wouldn't be surprised if he won it.
