Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2016
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2016
Highly sought after, signatures from Jacques Plante aren’t readily available to collectors due to his untimely passing at the age of 57. This lot contains not only a signed postcard, but the original Maple Leaf Gardens mailing envelope addressed in Plante’s hand. The 3 ½” x 5 ½” photo postcard pictures Plante in his Maple Leafs uniform, with “4/2/71 To Louise Best Wishes Jacques Plante” in the upper left. The postcard itself exhibits toning along with some spotting, with a few dents and creases including a large surface bend/crease to the left of Jacques' blocker. The reverse is blank, with tape residue present from a former album mounting. The envelope is official MLG stationary, with the adressee's info fully scripted in Plante’s hand. With a 1971 postmark, the envelope remains in very good condition, perfect for display with the postcard. An LOA from Classic Auctions will be included.
