Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction June 2018
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/19/2018
A participant of 8 NHL All-Star Games during his glorious HOF career, Jacques Plante is the only goaltender in history to secure the Vezina Trophy an amazing 7 times. We have a wonderful pair of items featuring the legendary backstop from 1971, with a signed postcard along with a “goaltending tips” letter that’s accompanied by the original mailing envelope. The blank-backed 3 ½” x 5 ½” card pictures the icon in his Maple Leafs uniform, with Jacques adding a perfect ballpoint signature directly beneath his image. The thrice-folded 8 ½” x 11” typed advice letter on Maple Leafs letterhead includes 15 tips from Jacques necessary for those wanting “to make a living in hockey”, with the aforementioned envelope picturing the sacred Maple Leaf Gardens in wonderful graphics.
With no issues for the Plante signature, a few small creases are present along with some light toning, with the postcard surviving in beautiful condition, displaying much better than its technical grade. The tips letter exhibits light handling wear, with a few tears along the top edge of the MLG envelope.
