Another hobby event here with seven Bee Hive Group 2 trophy photos, each surrounded by four white borders, being among the toughest 1945-64 Bee Hives to track down. This rarely offered jackpot features cream-colored backings which all have at least one notable flaw; a small light peripheral crease, to go along with minor corner wear and rendering them technically VG+. The photos themselves however are problem-free beauties, with not a crease/wrinkle spotted – quite stunning. The not-as-scarce-but-still-sought similar photos of the Stanley Cup and Byng, Calder, Hart, Norris, Prince of Wales, Art Ross and Vezina trophies have a white border across the bottom and are not, as a group, quite as nice as their counterparts. The Byng, Calder and Hart examples actually mirror the aforementioned, with the Ross close. Creasing and dime-size paper loss on the back of the actual Vezina Trophy photo, a pinhole in the upper border of the Wales’ backing, creasing and paper loss on the front, (near the top edge) of the Norris’ mat and a re-glue job of the creased-at-top Stanley Cup photo is to be aware of. In summary, for collectors who have searched high and low for years for the “four white border” trophies, this lot is for you.
