This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/27/2023
A franchise that has enjoyed 114 years of play since their inception in 1909, the Montreal Canadiens have won a total of twenty-four (24) Stanley Cups over the course that time including a span of 29-years that saw them in the big dance a total of 21 times between 1951 and 1979 in which they hoisted Lord Stanley’s mug 16 times. Up for grabs here, is this collection of various Montreal Canadiens publications. Highlighted by a group of seven (7) media guides that date between 1969-70 and 1979-80 with additional years of 72’-73’, 73’-74’, 75’-76’, 76’-77’ and 77’-78’ also present and accounted for, all remain in good condition while exhibiting the light surface and handling wear one would come to expect from books of their age. Of note, the 72’-73’ example shows a mark that appears to be pencil over the cover while the 73’-74’ book shows the heaviest surface wear of the bunch. For the rest of the lot, various vintage magazines and programs are included, highlighted by a 1974-75 WHA Vancouver Blazers program from a game against the Houston Aeros that pictures Gordie Howe on the cover as well as a trio of early-to-mid Sports Illustrated’s that show Ken Dryden on two covers (Feb 14th, 1972 and November 25th, 1974) as well as Larry Robinson on the other (May 24th, 1976) and a Detroit Red Wings program from their October 12th, 1976 game vs Montreal at the Olympia which has a piece of page 7 and 8 ripped out. Including other various publications from the Canadiens and junior hockey out west as well as sealed McFarlane figures of Roberto Luongo (two variations), the last item of note is a March 1975 Lethbridge Broncos program with Bryan Trottier on the front that remains in good condition though has most of page 3/4 missing from being cut out.
