Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction February 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/27/2018
We’ll lead with the unopened packs here, since a 1971-72 Topps pack, encapsulated by GAI and graded NM-MT 8 features great eye appeal and excites/impresses us the most. We detect a card of Hall of Famer Jean Ratelle on the back, while a pack of ’73-74 WHA posters includes two and is problem-free, although we can feel that the stick of gum held within is in several pieces(!). A classic Esso Power Players soft cover album is complete and includes stamps of those that were pre-printed in the album. Considerable handling and wear is to note, with a partially split spine, cover wear and partially warped-wavy pages. A nifty complement is an intact crease-free six-stamp panel picturing Kurtenback, Ellis, Green, Angotti and others. Completing are 273 Toronto Sun photos and 20 team headers from ’71-72, held in a “Sun NHL action players” album. Almost all are the versions with The Toronto Sun logo on the back. Corner and edge wear reveals that these too, like the Esso ensemble, were handled and enjoyed by a previous owner, with however no unsightly creases in the entertaining images, many of which are unique to this issue. Cool collectibles from the 14-team NHL era await a new owner.
