Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction February 2016
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/23/2016
Excited and happy-looking youngsters Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier, as they embarked on their splendid Hall of Fame careers, highlight these Edmonton Oilers team-issued picture postcards, with the rather spellbinding Gretzky example, his “rookie” postcard, graded NM 7 by PSA. Wayne, with his classic Titan stick of the day in hand, and Mark, with a full head of hair(!), are joined by the likes of Lowe, Semenko, Lumley, Hunter, Siltanen, Hamilton, Callighen and others, along with goalies Dave Dryden and Ed Mio, the latter appearing twice on slightly different colored cards. They have postcard “backs” and exhibit intermittent corner touches but no creases. Brief bio information is on the backs, while facsimile autographs grace the fronts. While checking them all out, we can’t help returning to those of Gretzky and Messier and contemplating what they accomplished after posing – what a pair of all-time greats!
