Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2020
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/20/2020
Beginning with the September of 1946 issue that featured Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio and his son on the cover, this lot features an exceptional rarity, with each and every issue of Sport magazine ranging from the premier issue in 1946 to and including 1989, with just 21 issues missing from the four-decade plus run. Featuring 520 of the possible 541 issues (there was never an issued published for January of 1952), missing examples for completion include August 1961, May and October 1970, Feb and August 1972, August and Oct 1973, May 1974, April 1975, July 1977, May 1984, Nov 1985, Jan 1986 and Jan 1987, along with one from 1959, four from 1980 and two from 1981. There are also six issues individually autographed, including by Hull (2), Kelly, Gardner, Bathgate and Phil Marchildon. Assembled over a lengthy period, to duplicate such a collection now would be extremely difficult.
Condition ranges within the collection, with the majority of issues showing moderate wear including the odd loose staple, creased cover, dog eared page, etc, while a number show heavier damage especially earlier examples, with some sporting tape repair.
