Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2024
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/25/2024
A veteran of twenty-four (24) seasons in the National Hockey League with the Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres, Tim Horton, the namesake of Canada's favourite coffee and donut shop, would play twenty (20) years in the NHL wearing the blue and white of the Maple Leafs and patrolling their blue line in a way that struck fear into his opponents. A four (4) time Stanley Cup champion who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1977 and named one of the 100 greatest players in NHL history in 2017, Bobby Hull once stated regarding the late Tim Horton, “There were defensemen you had to fear because they were vicious and would slam you into the boards from behind, for one, Eddie Shore. But you respected Tim Horton because he didn't need that type of intimidation. He used his tremendous strength and talent to keep you in check." Offered here, we present this copy of Horton's rookie card that was deemed worthy of SGC's mark of GOOD+ 2.5. Off center a bit right-to-left as well as top-to-bottom, the card retains good colours over the front while showing some edge and corner wear as well as a light stain on the reverse. Also showing a couple of faint long creases on the front, the card is housed in an SGC holder that shows minor scratches and scuffs over both sides and a PWCC inventory label over the upper reverse.
