Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2015
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/25/2015
Swell bonuses in this batch of Bee Hives assembled by one collector back in the day, including autographed pictures of Maurice and Henri Richard! “Retired” was added in pen to the beige backing of the Rocket’s photo, with that notation or a player’s new team penned to between three and five pictures per team. An even representation, (23-27 per team), with plenty of stars present but very few even semi-difficult examples. Condition is rather nice, with EX the dominant grade and other signed photos including Ullman, Toronto’s Nevin and Harris and Chicago’s Ab McDonald. Other pictures and 13 checklists are detailed on our website.
Notable photos include Hawks Murray Hall and Hillman, Wings Howe (home), Jeffrey, Litzenberger and Sawchuk (with blade), as well as Rangers “John” Ratelle. The Bruins are an exception to the three to five pictures per team with “Retired” or a team name printed in pen on the backing, with nine Boston examples affected. All but one of 13 player lists, or checklists, have writing or checkmarks and all have staple holes from once having been stapled together. Always with a “List as of November 1st” line near the top, there is one from 1958, four from ’59, three from both 1960 and ’61 and one each from ’62 and ’63. Cool collectibles from the Original Six era!
