Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction February 2024
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/20/2024
Obtained by writing directly to Kraft Foods, these big prints were originally available through an offer detailed on the backs of the similar but standard-sized Kraft hockey cards, and we offer a complete set of 81, with an additional 5 uncatalogued examples along with a desirable duplicate of Wayne Gretzky for a total of 87 posters. At 16” x 20” and on card stock, the majority were executed by noted sports artists Carlton McDiarmid and Jerry Hersh, with each black and white rendition including a portrait along with home and away uniform images. All of the big names of the day are present including Mark Messier, Jari Kurri, Patrick Roy, Larry Robinson, Bob Gainey, Chris Chelios, Peter Stastny, Dale Hawerchuk and others, with the uncatalogued examples to include John Kordic, Shayne Corson, David Maley, Jean Perron (coach) and Jacques Laperriere (coach). The group displays beautifully, with light corner and edge wear along with toning the main concern that is worth noting for accuracy amongst the group while a small number, most notably the Mark Messier example, displays a red coloured mark over their lower fronts.
