Next, we have a Heritage Classic program from the first event in Edmonton (2003), 2014 and 2106 Winter Classic programs, two unopened Centennial Classic programs (2017) along with a pair of unused tickets, and a pair of NHL All-Star Game programs for the 2000 contest in Toronto. Other programs in the group include a 1948-49 Leafs program (March 19 vs Detroit – low grade), a trio of King Clancy tribute programs (1987), two Black Hawks NHL playoff programs from 1993-94 vs Toronto (April 23 and April 24) and a pair of 2003-04 season opener programs for the AHL’s Toronto Roadrunners. Also included, we have team letters from 1972 sent to a fan – with each having the original team letterhead envelopes - from the Rangers (merchandising pamphlet plus small 1970-71 team photo), Seals (merchandising sheet plus 1971-72 schedule and Seals sticker), Red Wings (merchandising sheet, 1971-72 schedule, two stickers and autograph response letter) and Penguins (merchandising sheet and two stickers), 16 Leafs 1970s postcards, a 1970s Ken Dryden postcard, four Esso NHL All-Star albums (1989 – all unused), a 1988 O-Pee-Chee sticker album (unused), a pair of NHL Power Play sticker albums (2002-03 – unused) and more including an assortment of six 1990s Leafs calendars. Condition does vary somewhat, with the majority of the programs and publications exhibiting just minimal handling wear. The 1972 team envelopes all show expected wear, with the seals example torn in a few places.
