Dominated by examples from the 1970s, we have a large collection of approx 105 vintage sports magazines from the 1950s to 1980s, with the emphasis on hockey covers. Featuring a large concentration of Sports Illustrated issues, we have a pair from the 1950s, 11 from the 1960s, 38 from the 1970s, 20 from the 1980s and a single copy from the 1990s. The additional magazines with such titles as “Hockey”, “Hockey Pictorial” and “Blueline” include 1 single copy from the 1940s, 14 from the 1950s and 3 from the 1960s. Featured on covers are Howe, Orr, Gretzky, Dryden, Lemieux, Bossy, Clarke, Beliveau, The Rocket and others. There are also an additional 15 misc. mags which includes a Red Wings program from 1970 and a Washington Redskins NFL program from 1938. Hailing from the personal collection of noted netminder Don Simmons, an LOA from his family will accompany.
Condition ranges within the collection, with many issues exhibiting just light handling wear, with some having heavier wear and damage, including the odd torn cover, loose staple, toning, staining or worn/rolled spine. The 1938 Redskins program shows moderate wear but displays well, with a signature from later NY Giant Jim Burt on the cover. We should also note there is some duplication within the collection.
