Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction February 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/27/2018
The unlikeliest of matches, while Dave Semenko was proficient with his fists on any given rink, squaring up in the ring with The Greatest seemed like suicide for the long-time Edmonton Oiler and Winnipeg native. Thankfully, the June 12th 1983 3-round bout with Muhammad Ali at Northlands Coliseum in front of over 6000 spectators was just for entertainment purposes, with the overmatched Semenko graciously given a draw with the boxing legend. We have an original on-site advertising poster from the event, along with a ticket stub and framed Ali/Semenko photo, signed by Dave. The 19” x 24” poster has been dry mounted and is currently shrink wrapped, while the framed 16” x 20” photo features a vintage dedicated signature from Semenko. The 2” x 3 ¾” ticket stub exhibits toning, with a creased and torn right edge.
The dry mounted poster appears to exhibit just toning, with some wear to the reverse including affixed clear tape. The signature on the framed photo has faded minimally, with the frame itself in excellent condition.
