Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2017
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/7/2017
A hockey historian’s dream, we have a huge collection of The Hockey News that runs from the 1950-51 NHL season, right up until 2005-06. Included are over 1500 issues, with the periodical published weekly during the regular season, and only monthly during the summer months for roughly 30 copies per year. All of the great covers are here including Howe retiring, Team USA 1980, Islanders dynasty, Gretzky during his rookie-era (multiple examples), the expansion clubs in 1967 and more. There is even the famous image of a humble Sugar Jim Henry shaking The Rocket’s hand after the 1952 Stanley Cup semifinals. While we’re uncertain whether the collection is complete, it certainly appears to be, with the possibility of a few missing issues here and there. Special shipping arrangements will be needed, with the option to pick up as well.
Condition is also pleasing overall, especially considering how susceptible newsprint is to the ravages of time, with some minor toning/yellowing to some of the earlier issues.
