This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/7/2017
Nifty ensemble of forever popular Esso Power Player items features some less often seen goodies, with three of the more common albums present and including empty hard and soft cover editions, (EX and VG respectively), with all stamps present in a soft cover album which shows handling/wear. Stat sheets include a complete French version and partial English, with an order form (creased) and near mint trader wallet joined by an unopened packet and two six-stamp panels, with Bobby Hull starring on one. Grooviest to some will be a two-page weekend magazine spread pitching the whole promotion and with a hat-trick bonus coupon still attached, along with a section of comics that includes a scarce "NHL Power Players by Esso" feature - very cool. In it, a boy and his dad attend a hockey game and head to Esso afterwards to start a collection. Items from Esso's 1980s card/stamp promotion complete the booty. From the '80s are a Vancouver Canucks program back cover which advertises Esso's '83-84 Hockey Stars TV Cash Game, while from '88-89 is an uncut sheet of 16 cards with adhesive backs, part of a 48-card set. As for the aforementioned '70-71 items, the partial English stat sheet includes statistics for players from Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Boston, while the album that is complete features nicely-placed stamps, with however the covers showing considerable wear and with a half-split spine. Also the names of the original owners, (two brothers) are penned to the title page. A fantastic trip back in time with these classic collectibles.
