Soon to celebrate their 100th anniversary in 2026, the New York Rangers are one of the most popular hockey clubs in existence, with seven Division championships won throughout their tenure along with a quartet of Stanley Cup championships. This lot contains a great grouping of Rangers team-issued press photos totaling approx 371, and ranging from 1949-50, to 1988-89, with the majority hailing from the 1970s. All glossy black and white prints with most in the 8” x 10” range, included, we have 11 images from 1949-50 including Rayner, Colville, Gardner and a team photo, 27 photos from 1959-60 including Howell, Bathgate, Worsley and Gadsby, 16 photos from the early-1960s, 19 photos from 1960-61, 16 photos from 1961-62 including Harvey, 18 photos from 1964-65 (5” x 7”) including Ratelle and Gilbert, 29 photos from 1965-67, 22 photos from 1970-71, 45 photos from 1971-72 including a team photo, 26 photos from 1972-73.. and more!
Rounding out the lot, we have 22 photos from 1976-77, 31 photos from 1980-81 and 29 photos from 1988-89 including Lafleur. There are also an additional 60 Rangers photos from different years, mostly the 1960s/70s. As an added bonus, there is an 8” x 10” photo signed by Nick Mickoski, along with 5 original Rangers mailing envelopes. The majority of the photos display well with light handling wear as well as the odd crease or corner ding. The earlier photos have been stored in their original mailing envelopes for decades, and as such, many of the photos are somewhat warped or show a subtle “roll”. A number also sport the player’s name handwritten over the reverse.
