One of the strongest team's throughout the entirety of the 1960s, the Toronto Maple Leafs, led by players such as Frank Mahovlich, Johnny Bower, Tim Horton, George Armstrong, Dave Keon, Bob Baun, Red Kelly, Bob Pulford and numerous others, appeared in five (5) Stanley Cup Finals series' during the decade, winning it all and hosting Lord Stanley's mug on four (4) occasions, in 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1967. Offered here, and hailing from the personal collection of former Maple Leafs scout Murray "Torchy" Schell, we present this collection of six (6) signed and team-signed sheets. With most of the sheets measuring roughly 4" x 5 1/2" in length and ripped out of a book it seems based on the one tattered edge, most of the signatures penned over the either cream or pink coloured sheets are done in blue ballpoint pen and display without issue despite some light fading from age. All dating to circa-1964 with the names present having last played for Toronto in 1963-64 or started with the club in 1964-65, indicating that its likely that these were signed during training camp before the 1964-65 season, present are the autographs of names such as deceased HOFers Punch Imlach (cream), King Clancy (x2 - individual sheets), Tim Horton (cream), George Armstrong (pink), Allen Stanley (pink), Johnny Bower (cream), Red Kelly (individual), Dick Duff (white) and Terry Sawchuk (pink) as well as HOFers Dave Keon (pink), Frank Mahovlich (pink) and Bob Pulford (pink) plus others such as Kent Douglas (pink), Ron Stewart (pink), Jim Pappin (x2 - cream), Bob Baun (cream), Eddie Shack (x2 - cream), Billy Harris (cream), Don Simmons (pink), Larry Jeffery (pink), Ed Litzenberger (pink), John MacMillan (cream), Tommy Naylor (Trainer - cream) and Bob Haggart (Trainer - pink). Additionally, there is a sheet signed by both Eddie Joyal and Orland Kurtenbach, both of whom started with the Leafs in 1965-66 and a Leafs team-issued card of Frank Mahovlich that has been signed as well.
