A treasure trove of pertinent historical hockey information from game’s past, we have a large and especially desirable collection of Montreal Forum programs (mostly Canadiens) hailing from the 1930s to 1980s and totaling over 150, along with a near-complete Habs media guide run of 43 examples spanning from 1961-62 to 2012-13. Included, we have approx. 8 programs from the 1940s, 47 programs from the 1950s including 16 bound within a “Forum” hardcover, 57 programs from the 1960s, 31 programs from the 1970s, 22 programs from the 1980s and a few from the 1990s. Highlights include a “Game of the Century” program from 1975 (Montreal vs The Red Army), a Montreal Maroons program from 1937-38 and a 1944-45 program signed by Maurice Richard from Feb 25th, the night he surpassed Malone’s single-season goal mark of 44. There are also 20 different Stanley Cup playoffs programs including examples from both the semis and finals, spanning from 1948-49 to 1985-86.
The 20 aforementioned playoffs programs include 1948-49 semis game 6, 1949-50 semis game 4, 1951-52 semis game 2, 1952-53 finals game 5 – Stanley Cup clincher!, 1956-57 finals game 1, 1959-60 finals game 1 and game 2, 1964-65 semis game 1, 1964-65 finals game 1, 1965-66 finals game 1 and game 2, 1966-67 finals game 5, 1967-68 finals game 3, 1970-71 finals game 3, 1972-73 quarters game 5, 1972-73 semis game 3, 1975-76 finals game 1, 1984-85 1st round game 5, 1984-85 2nd round game 2 and 1985-86 finals game 5 – Stanley Cup clincher! There is also a ticket for game 7 of the 1985-86 final, with this game never played as the series was ended in 5. The 43 Habs media guides include 1961-62, 1962-63, 1966-67, 1972-73 to 1977-78, 1979-80 to 2003-04 and 2007-08 to 2012-13. Most of the programs have a small post-it note on the cover with the date of the game and score, with condition varying greatly, with the majority in the mid-grade range with wear and minimal damage from handling. A few examples are also low-grade, with tearing, taped or missing covers, creasing and toning. The bound volume of 16 programs spans from 1955-56 to 1958-59 – and are mostly Montreal Royals – with the majority in beautiful condition with just light wear.
