Recruiting players to act as company advisors during the late-1960s, Bauer enlisted the services of 22 NHL stars including Bobby Orr as spokesman, with these premium photos offered for each originally available through Magazine ads. 3 groups of 8 photos could be purchased, with each group including the photo of Orr, for a total of 22 photos constituting a complete set. This collection includes 21 of the 22 photos, with 4 signed. Each black and white 8 ½” x 11” photo is on thin stock, with a Bauer logo added over the bottom left along with the player’s name and facsimile signature. Players include Hall of Fame members Orr, Giacomin and Harry Howell, along with Henderson, Provost, Hodge, Dornhoefer and others, with just Andy Bathgate needed for completion. This is the first near-complete set of these rare premiums we have ever offered.
The signed photos include Bergman, Henderson, Hodge and Gary Dornhoefer, with each blue ink signature displaying well with no issues. The Orr displays beautifully, with just light wear and a few very minor surface bends including along the base, with the corners still fairly sharp and a very faint area of discoloration to the right of Bobby’s neck. The remaining photos all show light to moderate wear, with no obtrusive tears or damage, with toning along with the very odd wrinkle the main concerns.
