Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/19/2018
The sum of the four hockey cards featured in Goudey's 48-card multi-sport set of "Sport Kings" is an oh so aesthetically-pleasing wonderful array of colors, with the lineup starring a fabulous foursome of all-time greats. Housed in older PSA holders, cards of Howie Morenz and Ace Bailey are graded EX 5, while those depicting Eddie Shore and Ching Johnson received marks of VG-EX 4. Each is a masterpiece in our eyes and includes a lengthy and intriguing write-up on the back. The Bailey card mentions his serious injury incurred in the famous incident with Shore and concludes with "Probably out of professional hockey as a player", while Shore is described as "one of the highest priced stars in hockey, but is very modest and quiet". Fine complements are two (Series 1) wax wrappers, with one displaying more vivid colors and in superior condition, with a small piece missing along the upper edge, to go along with light creasing. A one-inch tear affects the other, to the left of the football player's image. All-in-all, a delectable, inviting ensemble.
