A truly incredible, hard-to-fathom labor of love this gigantic and impressive collection must have been for our consignor, who sees the time appropriate to relay it on to another autograph enthusiast. The booty dates back to cards from the late-1960s and then spans the '70s and '80s. Earlier highlights include three signed by Bobby Orr, three by Gordie Howe, five by Bobby Hull and four by Glenn Hall, with Jacques Plante's red felt-tip pen signature gracing a '71-72 booklet. A binder full of WHA collectibles includes some 170 autographed pieces, with Hull and Howe each signing six cards and Gordie's autograph joining those of sons Mark and Marty on both a '73-74 OPC mini-poster and a '74-75 card - nice! Nine other posters are also signed (Hull, Howe, Cheevers). A dozen Hall-of-Famers are among three dozen auto'd cards from '69-70 and then over 500 cards from between '70-71 and '75-76 exhibit various degrees of staining or warping from moisture damage. Possibly more tantalizing is the formidable group from the '80s, led by the era's number one superstar, Wayne Gretzky. The Great One autographed a VG example of his OPC rookie card and 42 others! Regular and "special" cards feature beauty blue sharpie autographs, with Mark Messier also signing an '83-84 highlight card. Wayne also leads the way in a complete autographed set of 80-81 (5x7) Super Photos (24). A Mario Lemieux RC is autographed and appears EX-MT, with three other Marios also signed. Players who skated in the 70s and 80s come around numerous times, with Guy Lafleur (25) and Tony Esposito (21) among the most prolific. Tony O's crease-free RC is to note, along with a signed Pelle Lindbergh RC. More than ten each of HOFers and stars feature the likes of Park, Dionne, Ratelle, Parent, Clarke, Cournoyer, Robinson, Potvin, Bossy, Trottier, Bourque, Messier, Kurri, Stastny, Goulet and others, with dozens of 1980s' rookie cards (Messier, Bourque, Gartner, Coffey, Kurri, Fuhr, Francis, Yzerman, Neely, Gilmour, Roy +++) also signed. Multiples of players no longer with us (Worsley, Ferguson, Bergman, Magnuson, Marotte, Larocque, Plager and Wickenheiser) are also noteworthy. Cards not autographed are highlighted by ten Orrs and carry additional value, with numerous other pleasant surprises awaiting the lucky high bidder. Constituting an instant collection or instant inventory, this phenomenal stash is sure to please, with more details available on our website.
