Offered is a game-used Gary Roberts home jersey from the forward’s 2006-07 season with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Roberts, a three-time All-Star, was traded to Pittsburgh from Florida that season to aid in Pittsburgh’s playoff push. The black “Reebok” jersey features a large Penguins crest on the chest, with “ROBERTS” across the top back above his number “10,” which also appears on the sleeves, all in white on black and gold tackle twill. A pair of stitched Penguins logo patches also appears at the top of both sleeves near the shoulder area. The reverse inside tail features an identification label that reads, in part, “2006-2007 set #2” with a signature from Penguins head equipment manager Dana Heinze. The inside reverse portion of the jersey just below Roberts’ number “10” features a tie-down strap, also signed by Heinze in black sharpie. The jersey shows light evidence of game use, with sporadic black scuff marks on the white portion of the sleeves. Roberts’ game-used jersey is accompanied by a COA from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
