This lot features the 2016 Ultimate Coll. Tuukka Rask Game Used Jersey #KF-TR PSA 8! ---

The Toronto Maple Leaft drafted Rask in the first round (21st overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. Before playing a single regular season game for Toronto he was traded to the Boston Bruins for former Calder Trophy winning goaltender Andrew Raycroft. Toronto management had deemed Justin Pogge their potential goaltender of the future, and Rask became expendable.

Although he was the only qualifying rookie in NHL history to lead the league with a sub-2.00 goals against average as well as lead the league in save percentage, he was not named as a finalist for the rookie of year award, despite having supplanted the Vezina Trophy winner Thomas as the starter. In the 2010-11 NHL season, Thomas returned to form, making Rask once again the backup, but he won the Stanley Cup with Boston, becoming only the second Finnish goaltender to do so, after Chicago’s Antti Niemi the previous year.

Here’s a great looking example of his 2016 game used card here. This beauty has 4 razor sharp corners, 4 exceptional borders and a blazing surface with full gloss, color and clarity. The reverse is crisp and clean with pack fresh background color, near perfect centering and no marks or blemishes of any kind.
