Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/6/2018
Dozens of delectable hockey exhibit cards are sure to get some action, the thick cardboard collectibles barely exhibiting a crease throughout, with mostly just light to moderate corner/edge wear to report and no back damage - nice. Canadiens (22) lead the group, with the Rocket, Blake, Beliveau (two different), Harvey, Geoffrion and Moore present, while 14 Maple Leafs include Broda, Broda white border, Bentley, Kennedy, Rollins and Sloan white border. Action shots total 17 with duplication and nine different. Entries from other teams are minimal with Red Wings Abel, Lindsay (F) and Lumley, Chicago's Doug Bentley, New York's Rayner and Bruins Gelineau and Ronty, the latter two with writing on the back. Other sports subjects include boxers (11, including Ezzard Charles) and wrestlers (4, incl. Gorgeous George), with one Indian (Chief White Calf) and one airplane card. Completing are 39 cowboy/western stars, with Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Gene Autry and Tom Mix most notable. Tossed-in are ten metal hockey players from a 1950s Cresta tabletop hockey game, with more details on our website.
The metal hockey players include four skaters and a cap-wearing goalie for two teams (grand total of 10 pieces), with some dried up rubber knobs (10) also present, with the metal figures displaying only light to moderate use/wear. Meanwhile, it should be noted that 35 of the cowboy/western exhibit cards are a Canadian issue, with the backs featuring advertising for Joubert Tomato Juice and a mail-in offer. Consumers were invited to clip the top of each card (the name and series/card number part) and mail to "Snappy Novelty Cards", with a Montreal address given. Well-preserved neat stuff offers numerous possibilities.
