Signed Hockey Stick Carolina Hurricanes full of team Signatures!! Circa 2002

Description

I am offering a signed by whole team! -- Carolina Hurricanes hockey stick that needs authenticating, (COA), which I know will pass with flying colors by recent comments JSA told me via email after looking at photographs I sent them.
It needs further appraisal for sure -- but . . .  I have been counciled by another eBay seller of such memorabilia after describing stick that to them, that I should ask between 0 and ,000. It was signed by entire team in 2002 -- in the year of 2002 Stanley Cup playoffs. The Hurricanes were in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in their 23-year history, which includes their tenure as the Hartford Whalers.
This stick was signed by Carolina Hurricanes team for a local fundraiser event -- for a school band in Wake Forest, NC -- north of Raleigh, NC. My wife won the raffle! We have kept the stick stored in our smoke-free home for 19 years. It's in pristine condition. (see images) More available on request.
JSA says they will charge me 0 to get an official authentication -- even
BEFORE
they appraise it! That's a Catch-22 to me. So, I am going to try and sell this without a COA. Buyer of stick can go and get it authenticated themselves to verify and further increase its value.
I now am stating that I -- 100%, completely certify that it is legit as my wife and I have no reason to deceive anyone about this hockey stick. We just don't need it sitting around anymore. Someone else passionate about hockey should own this.
The local Wake Forest band boosters who offered the stick used to work in concession stands at the RBC Center where the Carolina Hurricanes played back then. Their connection with the Carolina Hurricanes was via their working at the RBC Center -- now renamed the PNC Arena where Caroilina Hurricanes still play.
This would be a huge treat for any Canes fan or serious sports memorabilia collector to own. They signed it the year they went to Stanley Cup playoffs and came in second. It will only increase in value with time as it is a piece of sports history.
I cannot read the signatures on the stick -- perhaps some of you fans or pros out there can. (I think I can see  #27 Craig Adams and  #16 Tommy Westlund.)
If I am in error in any way about details in this listing concerning this stick -- please let me know as it was 19 years ago when we got this and our memories are not that clear nowadays in our 60s.
