This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/9/2016
A mix of both the “Parlons Sports” and “La Rondelle” hockey newspapers, we have a collection of 36 issues spanning from 1954 till 1962, highlighted by an issue from 1956 that features The Rocket celebrating his recent 500th career goal. The breakdown by year is as follows, we have 5 issues from 1954, a single copy from ’55, three from 1956 including Richard’s 500th issue, 10 from 1957, 12 from ’58 and a pair from 1959. There are also 2 from 1960 and a lone copy from 1962. At roughly 12” x 16”, each newsprint issue features hockey imagery on the cover, with interesting articles within. Notable covers include Sawchuk, Blake, Plante, Harvey, Beliveau and others. Most of the copies remain in excellent condition, with just regular handling wear which, for newsprint can include some light creasing, edge tears and wear along with toning. The Richard 500th goal issue exhibits spine and edge wear with some staining along the bottom border. There are also a few edge tears, with a chunk missing from the back cover.
