Highlighted by a 1962-63 Toronto Maple Leafs “World Champions” tray that was originally sold through Dominions, we have a collection of 15 items all hailing from the personal collection of noted goaltender Don Simmons. First, the 10” x 19” tray feature’s a generic player along with facsimile signatures of Leafs players, with images of the Prince of Wales Trophy and Stanley Cup. Next, we have a framed 1965-66 NY Rangers team photo with facsimile signatures above - with this likely a fully opened Christmas card, a 1959-60 Bruins 8” x 10” team photo and a pair of signed 7” x 9” Bruins game-action photos. Rounding out the lot, we have Simmons’ 1957-58 Topps rookie card, a pair of 1965-66 Topps cards, 1960-61 Shirriff hockey coin and two 1962-63 Shirriff hockey coins. An LOA from the Simmons family will accompany.
The tray shows light to moderate wear with scratches including over the handles, with a bit of tape residue on the reverse. The 1965-66 Rangers framed photo shows wear with some discolouration along with an affixed label, with the photo appearing to be affixed to a backing, framed to full dimensions of approx 10” x 13”, with heavy wear to the frame. The 1959-60 Bruins team photo and signed game-action photos all show surface wear including wrinkles/creasing along with toning, with United Press stamps over the reverse of each game-action photo. The Simmons rookie card is in beautiful condition with light wear, with the pair of 1965-66 cards both in lower grade, with dinged corners, surface wear and creases. The Shirriff coins display nicely, with wear along the rim on one of the 1962-63 examples. Also included, we have four small mounted photos cut from programs, with one signed by Fernie Flaman, along with a mounted low grade Star Weekly photo.
