Fine collection of vintage Maple Leaf Gardens programs dating back to the 1939-40 season and upwards to 1963-64. Only the ’39-40 example is without its lineup page and has loose pages, otherwise, every edition is complete, intact, and chock full of good stuff from the days when the Habs, Rangers, Bruins, and Red Wings (no Hawks) met the Leafs at the Gardens, along with a couple of Junior A editions when the Marlies and Petes etc. clashed. There’s even a 1949 pro wrestling program from the Gardens, and a 1954 pro boxing example. They’re not mint, and some have handwriting on the cover and lineup pages, but all in all, it’s a treasure trove from the days of the Original Six.
A more complete listing is as follows – 1939-40 with loose pages and no lineup; Feb. 23, 1946 Boston vs. Toronto; March 9, 1946 Montreal vs. Toronto; Feb. 14, 1948 Montreal vs Toronto (with handwriting on lineup page); March 31, 1949 Pro Wrestling at the Gardens; Dec. 30, 1950 Detroit vs. Toronto (handwriting on lineup); April 7, 1951 Boston vs. Toronto; Nov. 5, 1952 NY vs. Toronto; Jan. 31, 1952 NY vs. Toronto; Nov. 21, 1953 NY vs. Toronto (dirt on lineup page); Feb. 10, 1954 Boston vs. Toronto; Feb. 20, 1954 Boston vs. Toronto; April 17, 1954 Pro Boxing; Dec. 4, 1954 Detroit vs. Toronto; Feb. 21, 1960 Junior A at the Gardens with signatures on the cover from Dan Curry, Jerry Randall, and Fred Dart; Feb. 28, 1960 Junior A with juniors Jim Pappin and Bill White signatures on cover; Oct. 19, 1960 Montreal vs. Toronto (scored inside); and Nov. 30, 1963 Detroit vs. Toronto.
