This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/20/2020
Featuring some of the biggest stars of the day including the only NHL goaltender to captain his team to a Stanley Cup championship, this great grouping of “La Presse” newsprint supplements feature’s examples from 1927-32, and totals 12, with a number desirable full newspapers. At approx 11” x 17 ½”, seven examples have been matted to full dimensions of approx 13” x 20”, including HOFers Charlie Gardiner, Babe Siebert, Frank Boucher, Red Dutton, Clint Benedict and Bun Cook, along with George Owen and Tommy Cook, while the remaining five are all still attached to their original newspapers, with HOFers Howie Morenz, Charlie Gardiner (2), Charlie Conacher and Tiny Thompson.
The matted examples appear to show just light wear and toning, with a few including the Benedict and Siebert exhibiting creasing/wrinkles. The full newspapers display nicely, with expected wear commensurate with their age and former use, with toning also a factor, with the Morenz and Conacher both having a horizontal fold line at center. The Thompson also exhibits some rough edges.
