With the overwhelming majority long falling to the wrecking ball, we have a massive postcard collection of vintage arenas, rinks and stadiums that total approx 538 and feature the past buildings of hockey (there are also additional stadiums). Spanning from approx the 1920s to the 2000s, highlights include numerous images of famous venues such as the Montreal Forum, MLG, MSG, Chicago Stadium, Chicago Coliseum, Boston Garden, Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, The Olympic Arena in Lake Placid, The Met, Atlantic City Auditorium, Hershey Sports Arena and others. There are also postcards that show the interior ice surface – with many showing players or game-action – including the famous Duquesne Garden in Pittsburgh (2), Maple Leaf Gardens (Toronto Maple Leafs pictured), Boston Garden (Boston Bruins pictured), Olympic Rink in Lake Placid, Hershey Sports Arena (2 different), Cincinnati Gardens, Cleveland Arena, Clinton Arena, Atlantic City Auditorium (2 different) and others. Additional highlights include a 1960s HHOF fold-out postcard (it is actually 6 attached postcards with one detached and heavier wear including tape), a 1976-77 Minnesota North Stars souvenir price list, USHHOF postcard and many others. Condition within the collection varies, with many postcards displaying especially well with lower technical grades, while others sport expected toning, corner and surface wear along with postmarks and writing. There is also heavy duplication within the collection.
