One of the most storied franchises in the National Hockey League, the Toronto Maple Leafs have won 13 Stanley Cups throughout their history and have had more Hockey Hall of Fame inductees than any other competing franchise. Up for grabs here, is this collection of Toronto Maple Leafs memorabilia. Starting with a signed framed photo of the man affectionately known to Maple Leafs faithful as “The Chief”, the roughly 9 ½” x 13” black and white image of then captain George Armstrong with the Stanley Cup has been signed by him along the bottom with a large silver ink signature that displays flawlessly. Sporting a JSA sticker affixed to the bottom right corner with matching COA taped to the reverse, the photo is triple matted under black, dark grey and light grey with a black border surrounding the image as well. Housed in a black frame that measures approx. 19 ½” x 23 ¼” and displays with only light wear to the edges and corners, a small gold colored plaque reading “George Armstrong – Toronto Maple Leafs” is found at the bottom of the frame.
Next, we have cards including a complete 30-card set of Upper Deck’s 2007 40th anniversary 1967 Stanley Cup championship commemorative set and a custom card of Armstrong that features a cut signature of his. For the UD set, thirty (30) cards picturing players, staff and moments from that cup win are included and found in the EX-MT to NM or better condition range. Additionally, Bob Baun, John Brenneman, Wayne Carleton, Brian Conacher, Ron Ellis, Larry Hillman, Larry Jeffrey, Red Kelly, Dave Keon (x2 - Conn Smythe Trophy and celebration), Jim McKenny, Brit Selby and Pete Stemkowski (x2 – front and back) have signed their cards or other cards in the set as noted in a mix of blue pen or blue and black marker ink signatures that display without issue. For the custom card of Armstrong, a red ink signature of his signed of paper has been cut out and embedded into the card with the autograph showing strong, displaying only light fading from age while the card itself sports some dings and wear and has a JSA sticker affixed the reverse and is accompanied by its matching COA. Last, we have a stick signed by 26 members of the 2011-12 Maple Leafs, the generic stick is a full length 57” offering made by Heritage Stick and shows “Toronto Maple Leafs” over both sides with team logos. All having signed in blue marker with the autographs remaining legible with some fading evident, notable names that have signed include Dion Phaneuf, Phil Kessel, Mike Komisarek, James Reimer, Luke Schenn, Jonas Gustavsson and Joffrey Lupul. The stick itself also remains in excellent condition with just some light handing wear and marks while an MLSE hologram is affixed to the shaft and is accompanied by a matching Leafs COA.
