Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2017
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/21/2017
A fabulous years-in-the-making Gordie Howe extravaganza is offered here, with Parkhurst, Topps and O-Pee-Chee cards (41) from his playing days joined by dozens of modern issues, along with two autographed photos, a signed puck, Shirriff coins, Bee Hive photos and WHA material. Kudos to our consignor for the overall quality of the items. Not that the cards are all high, high grade, but we spot very few creases in the vintage cards. Earlier highlights are 1959-60 Topps (In Action), ‘61-62 and ’62-63 Parkies and ’65-66 Topps, all VG-EX, with most of Gordie’s late-‘60s and early-‘70s issues present and averaging EX, similar to his WHA cards. Autographed pieces include Red Wings and Whalers images (8x10s), a beauty Wings souvenir puck, (with “Mr. Hockey 9” added), a Zeller’s card and an SP Sign of the Times insert card. Other inserts include five “stick” and two jersey cards. Please see our website for more details of this superb treasure-trove.
Items also to note include a near mint 1950s’ Adventure Gum card featuring images of Gordie and Rangers’ goalie Chuck Rayner, Shirriff coins from ’61-62 and ’62-63, Group 2 and 3 Bee Hive photos, an Eaton’s advertising postcard, WHA mini posters from ’73-74 (individual and of the Howe family), Aeros and Whalers (Biltrite) WHA game pucks, (reverse logo is no longer present on the Whalers), an Aeros media guide from ’76-77 and two un-used Aeros tickets versus Quebec. There are a total of 90+ modern cards including several inserts, along with a few miscellaneous extras/surprises, all adding up to a fantastic Mr. Hockey booty.
