Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Spring 2021

Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of cards offered here star dozens and dozens of past and present stars and constitute an insert lover’s delight, with yes, the two cards in our title standing out. Just 67 “Ice Blue” examples of the Gretzky card exist, while the Jagr card was the subject of a lawsuit against Topps and has an interesting story. Interesting too is the accompanying lineup, with Wayne showing up over four dozen other times, with fellow Hall of Famers who made their mark in recent decades including Lemieux, Jagr, Yzerman, Hull, Sakic, Bourque, Lidstrom, Bure, Lindros, Selanne, Kariya and still more, all contributing several times to the hoard, dominated by 1990s material but with plenty of inserts from the last 20 years also present and of course, numerous card companies involved. All-time wins leader Martin Brodeur wins the goalie quantity competition, with multiples of Roy, Belfour and Hasek to mention. Past legends Orr, Howe, Hull and others represent all-time greats, while Crosby and Ovechkin (over a dozen each) and McDavid (6) lead the current star lineup, with Matthews (3), Marner, MacKinnon, Draisaitl and Makar present in limited numbers, with not super high-end products present, but still. One row of a packed 3200-count box is comprised of non-insert cards; approximately half are ’94-95 Upper Deck SP cards with the other half from Pacific’s “Complete” 2002-03 and 2003-04 issues. We could have said “a grab bag of inserts” but we couldn’t help ourselves – we had to look at every card and believe that you’ll have a blast too!....along with a sorting/pricing/listing bonanza!
