Employed as the artist for the Hockey Hall of Fame throughout the 1990s, Doug West produced the artwork for the gorgeous “Legends of Hockey” postcards issued from 1992 to 1996 that featured the greatest names in hockey history. This lot contains a complete set of 90 postcards, with 48 signed including 30 deceased Hall of Fame members. At the standard postcard size of 3 ½” x 5 ½” and featuring a portrait and game-action image, a lengthy bio also appears on each reverse. The deceased HOF signers include Lumley, Geoffrion, Howe, Mikita, Mosienko, Dumart, Beliveau, Lach, Smith, Kennedy, Horner, Watson, Gadsby, Pronovost, Quakenbush, Stanley, Howell, Schmidt, Kelly, Worsley, Bower, Lindsay, Abel, Mikita and the Rocket, along with deceased builders/referees/linesman Storey, Ivan, Sinden, Pollock and Keith Allen. A “Legends of Hockey” binder is also included.
The living HOF members who have signed include Francis, Armstrong, Ullman, Giacomin, Hall, Hull, Bossy, Sittler, Gilbert, Keon, Dionne, Mahovlich, Park, McDonald, Clarke, Barber and the Esposito brothers. The majority of the signatures in the group have been executed in thin blue marker and present beautifully, with just light handling wear to the postcards themselves. We should also note that the set doesn’t have matching serial numbers (each is listed over the lower reverse).
