Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2013
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/5/2013
From towards the end of the Original Six era and the long-running Bee Hive photo promotion come these “wood grains”, the lineup of which is comprised of the most difficult to locate examples. Never have we had the pleasure/honor of offering so many at one time. The majority are free of unsightly creases, with just under half in EX-or-better condition, while a light, not-very-detracting crease or bend technically lowers others to VG+, although close inspection is at times necessary to detect the minor flaws. Photos without conditions mentioned below are EX-or-better. Carrying the biggest price tags when offered for sale, (that’s not often!), are the photos of Bobby Hull (home, reversed negative)(two tiny vertical creases along the bottom edge) and Claude Larose (reversed neg.)(crease-free with subtle evidence of photo album “triangles” at the corners), with Bobby’s regular home jersey version also present and near mint. We’ll do the rest by team, with Boston representatives being Connolly, Gendron (creases, G-VG), Godfrey (toning on the back), Hebenton (VG+), Pennington (VG+) and Perreault (VG+). Joining Hull are Black Hawks Hall (NM), Hillman, Maki (glue residue on the upper and lower back edges), Nesterenko, Pilote (scotch tape marks on the reverse), both Stanfields and Turner (VG). In Detroit uniforms are Delvecchio (away), Faulkner (VG), Howe captain (VG-EX), Ingram (VG+), Joyal, MacGregor, Smith (away) and Smith (home, reversed neg.)(VG+). Canadiens are Hanna, Harper (light background) and G. Tremblay (#24), while Rangers include Cahan (VG+), Henry, Labossiere and Plante (VG+). An even dozen Maple Leafs complete; Baun, Bower (VG+), Harris (no number), Harris (#15)(VG), Horton (#7)(scotch tape marks on the back), Horvath (VG), Keon (#14)(crease-free but with scotch tape mark in upper border – front), Mahovlich (VG+), McKenney, Pulford (subtle album triangle indentations), Stewart (no number) and Stewart (#15)(VG). Tantalizing ensemble offers tremendous/numerous opportunities!
