This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/22/2012
A pair of signed Bobby Orr photos are included in this huge lot of 30 vintage photos featuring the legendary numbah 4, including a nice 8x10 first training camp shot and seven Big, Bad Bruins team photos. They range in size from a few 4x6 snapshots on up to a half dozen 11x14 prints, including a signed Orr photo, one of four, and a pair of Bruins team photos. Bruins photographer Al Ruelle's stamp appears on the reverse of a dozen of these prints. Please see our website description for more details about this lot. Bobby Orr placed a big blue marker autograph across the bottom of a Ruelle 14x11 color print of a photo of himself with his hand over his mouth at his Bruins jersey retirement ceremony;
Orr’s black marker signature appears at the bottom of a 12” x 8 1/2" Ruelle stamped print of a pose in his late 1960s Bruins uniform. The top edge is creased through the top of Orr’s crewcut head and all four corners are missing pieces, though these imperfections would easily be overcome with appropriate framing;
The five other 11x14 prints include three of Orr, an action shot and two of the same Ruelle photo of Bobby and Harry Sinden with the 1970 Cup in the Bruins’ dressing room, and color prints of a pair of Bruins team photos, including the 1971-72 Stanley Cup champions and the 1974-75 Bruins, Don Cherry’s first season behind the bench;
A total of 10 Orr 8x10 prints include a pair of Ruelle stamped shots of Orr and Sinden at Orr’s first training camp, a mid-1970s Ruelle-stamped pose in his Bruins uniform, and a pair of color prints of Orr and Bucyk posed at the Boston Garden;
A 7x10 print of the 1969-70 Bruins team photo with the Stanley Cup and a 9 1/2” x 12 3/4" color picture of the Cup team photo from the same sitting taken from a more central perspective;
A late 1960s Bruins team photo is a wide 7” x 13 1/4" Ruelle stamped print which has creases on both ends;
A pair of 5x7 prints include a mid-1970s Ruelle action shot of Orr and a color shot of Orr at Gary Doak’s hockey school;
A pair of 8 1/2" x 11” pictures of the 1975-76 Bruins team photo;
Five modern 4x6 prints include three vintage poses of Orr in his Bruins uniform and a pair of shots of Bobby with his retired jersey frame at the Boston Garden closing ceremony;
A colorized 7 1/2" x 11” picture of “The Goal”.
