Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction November 2010
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/16/2010
Gretzky, Messier and Lowe are among 15 team-issued Edmonton Oilers 1979-80 postcards from the team's first NHL season, a highlight of this lot of Oilers publications featuring media guides, programs and books. The 1979-80 Oilers postcards exhibit handling, some with creases and marks, and have clearly been removed from a scrapbook as evidenced by the tape remaining on the reverse of most of the cards. A total of 24 media guides include 8 from the 1980s - 4 with Gretzky on the cover - and 4 1970s WHA team guides, including a 1972-73 Alberta Oilers media guide, plus a 1977-78 WHA league guide. Nine 1980s Oilers calendars are featured among the 29 Oilers calendars from the 1980s and '90s, including a pair from 1990-91 with a photo of the Oilers gathered around the Cup celebrating their fifth title at Boston Garden. Books include paperback and hardcover "Champions", Semenko's hardcover and a paperback Gretzky bio by Wayne's father Walter. Also included are a pair of Oilers WHA game programs (one missing its cover), a 1988-89 NHL Sourcebook with a Gretzky All-Star cover, programs from Oilers nights honoring Gretzky (1999) and Fuhr (2003) and an Edmonton Sun souvenir magazine from the Oilers' 2006 run to the Cup final.
