Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction - June 2009
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/16/2009
Chicago Stadium hosted the Second Annual NHL All-Star Game on Wednesday, November 3rd, 1948 pitting the Stanley Cup Champion Toronto Maple Leafs against the best of the remaining five teams. Broda, Bentley, Kennedy and Barilko for the Leafs faced Durnan, Richard, Howe and Lindsay on the NHL’s bench. This program is extremely hard to find and this example is in solid condition, actually very good in grade, with two tiny pieces of tape reinforcing the lineup page, one ad removed and a small "All-Star 10/48" in pencil on the cover. Certainly an extremely rare publication.
The beauty of the rare photos featured in this incredible collection of hockey memorabilia is not solely in the eye of the beholder, rather it’s obvious to one and all. The pages that follow are filled with incredible treasures such as original team photos of some of the earliest Stanley Cup champions that speak to the great and broad history of the game. Lovingly fashioned by one of the hobby’s most enthusiastic and determined collectors, the remarkable items offered here for auction include some lots that are subject to a silent reserve. We are confident that this truly historical gathering of hockey artifacts and memorabilia will spark the enthusiasm and passion that drive your desire to seek and acquire nothing short of the best.
