Here’s the deal … in 1981, Bossy scored 50 goals in 50 games — a feat only accomplished by 4 other players — but about 30 years ago the treasured 50th puck slipped out of his hands.
We spoke to the eBay seller, Jake Jacobson … a HUGE Islanders fan and former swim coach, who claims he ended up with the prized puck when Bossy’s young daughter gave it to him as a thank you for her swimming lessons.
A couple years ago he contacted Bossy and offered to return it, but claims Bossy “didn’t really seem interested.” He says Bossy offered him a signed stick and that’s about it. “He couldn’t even meet. It just wasn’t a good offer.”
Bossy hasn’t lawyered up, and Jacobson’s pressing forward with the auction … which ends Tuesday. Here’s the thing … his opening bid is $ 850, and he has ZERO offers.
He says he’s not worried … “I’ve gotten a few offers this week outside of the auction. I want a true Islanders fan to have the puck. Bossy had his chance to get it back.”
