The game worn jersey - despite being on the ice slightly under six minutes - earned the highest price in the auction. That's about $58 per second. A total of 94 bids were placed on Crosby's one-period-wonder.  $7929 was the second highest price paid for Alexander Ovechkin's of the Washington Capitals. An authentic, pro-style jersey with Crosby's name and number sells for $360 at Pen's Station inside the arena's pro shop.

Two other recent Crosby jerseys captured the imagination of the sports memoribilla world.  Crosby's Team Canada jersey worn in a gold-medal win over Russia in the championship on January 4, 2005 in Grand Forks, N.D., was stolen by an Air Canada baggage handler. The jersey was found outside a post office in Lachute, Que. by a postal worker a week later. It was auctioned off, with the proceeds going toward youth hockey charities and south Asian tsunami relief. The jersey yielded an astounding high bid of $22,100.

Crosby's white jersey from his first NHL game in New Jersey was unaccounted for after disappearing from his father Troy's checked luggage on a US Airways plane on October 9, 2005.  That jersey was found two days later in a non-public stairwell by an airline employee and returned to Crosby's father.
