Perhaps the best defenseman to ever lace up the skates and patrol a National Hockey League blue line, Bobby Orr would collect a total of eight Norris Trophies as the league’s best defenseman. Presented here is a lot of two (2) signed framed photo displays of the hockey legend that includes one pertaining to Boston's 1972 Stanley Cup championship over the New York Rangers and one for his career accomplishments. Starting with the one featuring Orr drinking from the bowl of the Stanley Cup after knocking off the Rangers in the 1972 Finals, the 16" x 20" photograph titled "Triumph" and released by Frameworth as part of their "Motivators" series, the piece, measuring out to full dimensions of roughly 27" x 23 1/4", has been signed by Orr at the right side of the picture with a bold silver ink signature that displays well and without issue. A printers proof edition serial numbered "18/28" at the bottom right hand corner, the image has had a Frameworth hologram affixed in the same area and is displayed under both grey and black mattes in a black wooden frame that shows light-to-moderate wear to the corners, edges and sides. Additionally, also included is a framed display featuring Orr done in collaboration with Canada Post for the release of the Original Six stamp sheets. Measuring out to full dimensions of 27 1/2" x 24 1/2", the piece features an 8" x 11" lithograph of the image of Orr that was used on the stamp that was signed by him with a bold blue ink autograph that displays perfectly, a card of the stamp, a day of issue stamp that has been placed on a commemorative Boston Garden postcard, Bruins logo pins and an Orr retirement banner patch. All displayed under dual layered black mattes, an information plaque about Bobby has been placed at the bottom of the display. All in a black fame that shows light wear throughout from display and serial numbered "1748/1967", a Canada Post COA is affixed to the back of the piece.
