Brooks, Eruzione, Craig and Johnson are among the 20 members of the 1980 "Miracle" team who placed blue marker autographs on a signed a huge color photo of the on-ice celebration of their 4-3 win over the Soviets which paved the way to gold. This marvelous 20" x 24" photo is hand-numbered "24/500" in blue marker above a Steiner holofoil in the bottom right corner. It has been professionally mounted in a blue-white-and-red matte and displayed in a 25" x 29" frame which comes with a Steiner COA. Beautifully displayed in a 10 1/2" x 15 1/2" frame is a complete and intact ticket, with minor handling defects, for Team USA's final playoff game in Lake Placid, a 4-2 win over Finland on February 24, 1980 which clinched the gold medal. Jack Riley, who coached the Americans to their first Olympic gold in 1960, placed a bold black marker autograph on the right side of a vintage team photo montage. The heading "United States Hockey Squad 1960 Champions" appears across the top with inset photos of McCartan, Williams, the Christian brothers and the rest of the original "Miracle" squad below. A vertical fold crease in the middle does little to detract from this signed 1960 US Olympic team photo montage which is mounted in a white matte with red and blue accents and displayed in a 16" x 19" frame. Unforgettable Lake Placid highlights are depicted in a "1980 - Miracle on Ice" framed artist's proof litho mounted in a 14 1/2" x 18 1/2" frame with a COA attached on the reverse. The artist signed "AP/50 Stan Kotzen" in the bottom left margin of this glorious tribute print with a total of 11 1/8" x 14 3/8" displayed within a blue matte.
