Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2017
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/7/2017
Hall of Famers Eddie Collins and Dizzy Dean are featured here on cards produced for sale in Canada, with that of the former (V353) depicting Collins as a player but the back informing that he was vice-president and business manager of the Red Sox at the time. A light wrinkle on the back, barely detectable from the front, along with corner/edge wear, send it to VG or VG+. The (V354) Dean card includes write-ups in English and French - Dizzy was strikeout king in 1933 - and is similar in condition. It's crease-free but with a few small surface indentations. A fine complement to the cards is a Goudey Sport Kings Gum wrapper with black silhouettes from the same period. It has survived in appealing condition and without any edge tears or unsightly flaws. It includes an offer in which collectors could send-in 50 wrappers in exchange for a picture, with icons Dempsey, Ruth, Grange and Morenz among the eight different available. Sport "kings" is right!
