Two of the greatest to ever play in the National Hockey League and the topic of a long running debate on who is the better player, Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux paired up to score with 1:26 remaining to secure Canada the 1987 Canada Cup over the Soviet Union. Both the cover boys of the NHL during the 1980s and 1990s, offered here, is this lot of hockey magazines that quite literately has put both Gretzky and Lemieux on their various covers. Including issues of Beckett, Sports Illustrated, Inside Hockey, Goal and Legends, the publications date between 1990 and 2004 with the best issues of the group being a pair of first issue Beckett’s from October/November 1990 that picture Gretzky over the cover in his Los Angeles Kings uniform that remain in excellent condition. All the included issues appear complete and largely remain in good condition or better with light handling wear present while a couple show heavier wear and creasing. Additionally, also included in the lot is a 1982 Nabisco “First Goal with Bobby Orr” comic book that has been signed over the front cover by the HOFer in bold black marker with the autograph displaying in excellent condition despite some bleeding around the edges with the book also remaining in pleasing condition as well.
