The Jacques Laperriere Auction - Fall 2008
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/21/2008
Lappy has done away with his perm for a more traditional hairstyle and moved from the back row to the front, right beside new captain Bob Gainey in this official team photo of the 1981-82 Montreal Canadiens. This is the original studio-mounted David Bier photo that the team presented to Laperriere, who has signed the reverse in blue sharpie. Robinson, Houle and Shutt are all sporting beards for some reason as they sit in the front row along with Lafleur, who passed on the hirsute look. Wamsley, Laughlin, Delorme and Hunter are newcomers since the previous year’s photo and Bob Berry has replaced Claude Ruel as head coach. The team is posed in front of the boards with the Forum’s red seats serving as a backdrop in this original 13 ½” x 10 ½” studio print mounted in its original 22 ½” x 18 ½” wood frame. The players’ names are listed at the bottom of the beige matte which is titled, “Club de Hockey Canadien 1981-82”. The edges of the wood frame have minor chips and scratches and the original photo remains in very good condition. A great team photo that marked the beginning of Gainey’s lengthy and successful reign as team captain, it comes along with Jacques Laperriere’s signed letter of authenticity.
