Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2019
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/26/2019
The king of hockey publications, The Hockey News first hit newsstands in 1947, with the historic newsprint magazine currently publishing 18 subscriber issues per year. We have an especially large collection of issues totaling approx. 777, spanning from 1949 right up until 2006. Loaded with interesting and pertinent hockey stats and information, all the contemporary stars of the day are featured, with a number of wonderful and memorable cover images. Due to the use of newsprint, condition varies within the collection as one would expect, with some heavy toning and yellowing to some of the earlier issues, along with moderate handling wear. Highlighted by the desirable March 7th 1980 issue that featured the Miracle on Ice Americans with the headline “USA Wins Gold!”, there is also a bound group of 31 issues from Oct 8th 1949 to May 15th 1950, with the breakdown for the collection by year as follows; 1950 - 2; 1953 – 1; 1954 – 1; 1955 – 12; 1956 – 8; 1957 – 1; 1958 – 24; 1959 – 28; 1966 – 21; 1967 – 20; 1968 – 33; 1969 – 32; 1970 – 34; 1971 – 22; 1976 – 2; 1977 – 4; 1978 – 2; 1980 – 2; 1982 – 9; 1983 – 5; 1984 – 1; 1985 – 33; 1986 – 23; 1990 – 3; 1991 – 3; 1992 – 1; 1994 – 15; 1995 – 49; 1996 – 37; 1997 – 40; 1998 – 40; 1999 – 43; 2000 – 39; 2001 – 41; 2002 – 40; 2003 – 24; 2004 – 3; 2005 – 24; 2006 – 24.
