A collection of old publications saved by Ted Kennedy from games he either played in or attended as a spectator. The stash includes three Maple Leafs programs from 1958-59 and 1958-60. Another Leafs program from the Stanley Cup finals, dated April 10, 1948 is missing the back cover, but the Nov. 27, 1948 issue is complete. A pair of Maple Leaf Gardens game programs from March 11 and 24, 1944 are here, one showing rodent teeth damage. A stack of eight programs with similar Maple Leaf Gardens covers span the 1954-55 and 1955-56 seasons, according to the line-up sheets inside. An earlier Leafs program, dated 1947 in ink on the cover, is missing the line-up page. The collection concludes with a November 21, 1943 New York Rangers program. We will also throw in Kennedy's 1945-46 Official NHL Annual Guide, a December 1947 Sport magazine with a Charlie Trippi cover and a Leafs vs. Edmonton Oilers game program from February 17, 2007 signed to Kennedy across the cover by 1967 Maple Leafs greats Red Kelly, Frank Mahovlich, Bob Baun, Jim Pappin, Ron Ellis, George Armstrong, Dave Keon and Brian Conacher. Overall, the collection gets an average condition grade of good to very good. Obtained from the family of former Leafs' captain Ted Kennedy, complete with their signed letter of provenance.
