Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/1/2022
Regularly cited in popular culture as the epitome of “old time hockey”, Eddie Shore is arguably the roughest and toughest player in history after Sprague Cleghorn, with his legendary list of career injuries to include 14 broken noses, 5 cracked jaws and over 900 stitches. Shore was also the winner of four Hart Trophies, the only defenseman in NHL history to be so honoured. This lot contains a trio of signed cheques from the icon, and fittingly, their drawn on the account of the Springfield Hockey Association (Shore was the owner of the Springfield Indians). At roughly 3” x 8 ¼” and originating from his Springfield Valley Bank account, each cheque has been cancelled with stamps on the obverse and reverse, with no issues for any of the blue ballpoint signatures. Two of the cheques hail from the same day, Aug 5, 1964, while the remaining cheque is dated Feb 24th 1965, and they remain in beautiful condition, ready for display. A Classic Auctions LOA will accompany.
