Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Spring 2013
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/18/2013
A tremendous signing lineup of men who brilliantly helped write the storied and glorious history of the Montreal Canadiens stars here, with Jacques Laperriere's York Peanut Butter card starting things off chronologically. It's then Topps rookie cards of Yvan Cournoyer, Jacques Lemaire and Serge Savard, followed by O-Pee-Chee rookies of Larry Robinson, Bob Gainey and Chris Chelios, with coach Scotty Bowman's Topps RC mixed-in. Autographs are all bold beauties, while the cards themselves are led by NM-or-better examples of Savard, Robinson and Chelios, with Lemaire and Gainey lower grade. Oh, the memories/smiles that these guys provoke!
Classic Auctions is pleased to offer an exceptional collection of autographed hockey rookie cards, all of which have been encapsulated by PSA and certified “Authentic.” An area of the hobby which has gone under-appreciated and which has tremendous growth potential is that of the signed rookie card, when one considers the comparatively miniscule amount of vintage rookie cards which feature autographs. Our consignor’s sensational stash includes a marvelous array of Hall-of-Famers and stars. The fact that the pictured players handled and autographed the cards is indeed intriguing and thought-provoking. Please note that the cards themselves are not PSA-graded and that we’ve done our best to give an accurate account of their condition, with however no returns accepted in regards to condition details, as understandably, minute grade-lowering flaws may not be visible through PSA holders. Good luck with this outstanding collection.
