Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/20/2023
Drinkers of Coca-Cola (and Sprite) in the mid-1960s had some nifty promotions to consider, with the '65-66 season presenting consumers with the chance to send away for complete team sets of square-ish cards on thick paper stock which could be mounted and stored in a special album. Offered here, we present this complete set of the 1965-66 Coca-Cola offerings that are housed within their accompanying album. The cards were originally attached but perforated and could be easily torn apart, with an order form for the send-away album on each team set. "Quite nice" is the way we see the album and cards here, with the former showing light handling, wear and creasing to the covers and the latter nice and white and neatly/correctly inserted in their appropriate slots, so that the (printed) statistics and bio information of each can be viewed. Featuring all of the star players and future Hockey Hall of Famers of the era, it should also be mentioned the the covers of the album has separated near the bottom of the spine and that there are handwritten notations in the "autographs" section along with tape marks. Additionally, also included is a complete set of 1972-73 O-Pee-Chee player crests. Featuring the likes of names such as Orr, P. Esposito, Dryden and Henderson, the set is seen as being in the range of VG to VG-EX with some a bit better while the key's mentioned above are around G to VG due to things like surface, corner and edge wear as well as a crease Esposito and Dryden's specimens. Lastly, also included is a complete set of Orange Products plastic NHL team sticks from the early-1970s. Similar to the Post Cereal offerings from 1970-71, each stick has team logo stickers affixed to the blade with a word mark sticker over the shaft (missing on the St. Louis stick) all in good condition, a pair of thin plastic nets is also included, both with NHL shield stickers affixed to the inside of them and displaying with toning around the edges.
