I'm not the seller, but I thought folks here might be interested in something like this.

Holy shit.

I'm not a collector but my god that's the Holy Grail.

One of you rich shitheads needs to buy that so I can see it.

Any way to authenticate it ahead of time?

Hmmm. A bit of amateur sleuthing: In 1964 Tyer Rubber company became Converse and the puck logo should reflect that if it is from 1967 (maybe they got a deal on old pucks?). The puck logo  on eBay says "Tyer".

The description states: "Found in the basement of a deceased Cornell professor in Ithaca".
I would contact the seller (who appears to be a professional dealer) and ask for the name of the professor.

Andover Answers says they were bought in 1961, which would seem to make it even less likely. But I did ask the seller some questions.

The tape has that patina of authenticity, looking like a used civil war bandage.

Look at the date, BTW: Most years, that's the week leading up to the ECAC title game. Now there's 3-4 more weeks left in the season.

In this collection of pucks  http://llcgunner.wixsite.com/nyrangerspucks/grid , the Tyer name persists well into the 1970's.

I see it stopping in 1964?

Me too. The Art Ross Tyer, by Converse, went later, but the Tyer Rubber Company was last in the 62-64 section.

In my opinion, that makes the 67 Championship much less likely to be legit. I don't know that the NCAA, or Syracuse Stars, would be using 3 year old pucks.

We'll probably never know.

I don't know that I'm going to spring a couple of hundred bucks for it.

Sold for $480. Insane!
