A stupendous labor of love that took years to assemble is this terrific ensemble of Quaker Oats premium photos, available to consumers during a nine-year period, with our consignor reporting that the Toronto Maple Leafs portion of the issue is complete. That means all the variations and more difficult to locate examples are indeed present. There are numerous highlights and more valuable pictures to tell you about starting with Max Bentley posed in front of his locker, considered one of the most difficult images to track down. The team photo of the three-time Stanley Cup champion Maple Leafs, Syl Apps and Ted Kennedy with Lord Stanley’s trophy, goalies Frank McCool, Gordie Bell, Baz Bastien and Harry Lumley and four different of Turk Broda are notable/desirable. A wonderful image of a young Tim Horton in action, three of Bill Barilko and scarce photos of Doug Baldwin, Mel Hill, Phil Maloney, Elwin Morris and Babe Pratt are also noteworthy. The 8” by 10” pictures, on paper stock, display well in binder pages, with almost-standard light bends visible in many upon closer inspection, but for the most part, nothing drastic or unsightly throughout with more details on our website.
Among the keys, multiple light bends in the better Apps, Bentley and Kennedy examples is to note, but no rips, writing or back damage, with bends and light creases affecting the team photo and scrapbook paper on the reverse of Ron Stewart and two others. The presentation is admirable and noteworthy; the career NHL statistics of each subject appears on the opposite one-pocket page of a binder so that the beholder can check the player out and also glance at his career stats – a nice touch that increases the perusing enjoyment. The new owner will indeed enjoy this comprehensive Maple Leafs Quaker Oats collection.
