Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
Regarded as the greatest d-man ever to patrol NHL blue lines, Bobby Orr won a staggering eight straight Norris Trophy’s as the league’s best defenseman between 1968 and 1975, and was enshrined in the HOF at just 31 years-of-age. Offered here, we present this group of Bobby Orr memorabilia, most of which is signed, that hails from the personal collection of 1975 HHOF inductee Pierre Pilote.
Spearheaded by a replica wool style Oshawa Generals throwback jersey that mimics what was worn by the superstar during his time with the club in the early-to-mid-1960s. A classic red, white and blue sweater with a tie-neck style collar that is decorated over the front with "Oshawa: in a white felt script, "Generals" is spelt out over the white tail in small individually applied blue felt letters. A CCM made offering that has been accented over the reverse with Orr's junior number "2" via a single layer cream twill numeral, Orr has signed over the front underneath the crest with a black marker ink signature that displays without issue. Additionally, the jersey is found to be in overall excellent condition with just a couple of small spot stains throughout to make you aware of for accuracy.
For the rest of the collection, included are items signed by Orr such as a puck from a Bobby Orr Classic golf tournament (silver marker ink signature - displays without issue), a single Titleist golf ball (black marker ink signature - displays without issue - light wear to the ball), a 12" tall nickel plated ceramic Stanley Cup miniature with pewter medallion (black marker ink signature - displays without issue - new in box), a 1996-97 Pinnacle hockey card (black marker ink signature - displays without issue - light wear to the card itself), a trio of Titleist golf balls in a Bobby Orr Classic wooden case that has been signed over the top (black marker ink signature - displays without issue) and a signed personalized photo that is a group shot of Bobby Orr Classic Golf Tournament participants (black marker ink signature - displays without issue - personalized with an inscription reading "To my friend Pierre, thanks for your support" - light smudging to the "P" in Pierre). With all the items in excellent condition overall, also included with the lot are unsigned items such as a 2004 Bobby Orr Classic pocket watch and a commemorative Royal Daulton plate from the 5th anniversary of the "Oshawa Golf Club Celebrity Classic Hosted by Bobby Orr". Once again in overall excellent condition, the lot comes accompanied by a Pilote Family LOA.
