Much scarcer than their popular Coca-Cola counterparts from the same 1964-65 season are Sprite caps featuring head shots of members of the "Original Six" teams. This group features the English "Taste Sprite" variety and remarkably, none were ever put on soft drink bottles. The un-crimped examples exhibit a few “specs” and small scratches here and there, with small spots of oxidation also observed on intermittent caps. Overall though, these are mighty inviting and free of any dents/bends that would occur when opening pop bottles back in the day and superior to the near set offered in our most recent previous auction. One notable condition exception among the stars is a multi-scratched Phil Esposito cap . Missing for completion are Boston's Green and New York's Fonteyne, but duplicates of Hull, Beliveau and Henderson compensate admirably. Legends Howe, Sawchuk, Plante, Hall, Mikita, Mahovlich, Horton, Bower, Keon and Cournoyer, along with some splendid supporting cast members contribute to the terrific star-studded lineup. A swell opportunity, the likes of which occurs infrequently, is this delectable stash.
