Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Winter 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2023
Issued in two-card panels, Berk Ross’ unique Hit Parade of Champions release featured prominent athletes of the day from several sports, with the colorized images admittedly somewhat crude but nevertheless interesting-plus. We’re pleased to report that the offered group is free of creases, with intermittent slightly rounded corners and corner wear making for a mostly VG-EX to EX range. Montreal Canadiens’ legendary goalie Bill Durnan appears on one of his few card-like collectibles (EX), with Red Wings Hall of Famers Sid Abel, Black Jack Stewart and Bill Quackenbush completing the hockey segment. Richie Ashburn and Ralph Kiner lead the baseball roster (of 9), strong on Philadelphia Phillies, while eight football stars are led by Doak Walker. Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman highlight five basketball players, with Ray Robinson, Jake LaMotta and Ezzard Charles among six boxers. A classic image of Jesse Owens, golfer Ben Hogan posed with championship trophies and figure skater Dick Butkus wiping his brow also contribute – a well-rounded sports enthusiast/historian will enjoy the images and write-ups upon the arrival of these nifty charmers. *One baseball subject is a condition exception; Tommy Heinrich’s card exhibits paper loss on the back in/near the bottom corners.
