Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/1/2022
Fans and connoisseurs of Upper Deck’s high-end “The Cup” products over the years have of course had expensive taste and may well be enticed by these two captivating uncut “Artist’s Proof” sheets, available back in the day through an Upper Deck redemption promotion. The sheets have a plastic feel to them and star past, present and future stars at the time, with jersey and patch pieces obviously not involved. Some may have a fondness for the example that features different special pack pulls, or at least the likes of which ended up as such, with the Honorable Numbers including images of Hall of Famers, (from the top downwards), Lidstrom, Denis Savard, Hawerchuk, Roy, Gartner, Phil Esposito and Belfour, along with stars Huberdeau, Price, Kane, Pavelski, MacKinnon and Barkov – cool. Notables showing up on Dual Honorable Numbers would-be cards include Kariya, Modano, Messier, Kopitar, Sundin, Datsyuk, Selanne, Ovechkin, Yzerman, Sakic, Toews and Thornton – nice. Kuznetsov and Danault are amid the Auto Rookie Draft Boards lineup, while the roster of Emblem Endorsement contributors include Gretzky, St. Louis, Fleury, Brodeur, Malkin, Vasilevskiy, Belfour, Sakic, Hasek, MacKinnon, Jagr, Sundin, Iginla and still more. The back of the sheet is white with toning/browning around some of the openings but you won’t be displaying/admiring the back. The other sheet is free of blemishes and involves images used on “Foundations” (four-swatch) cards. Again, quite the lineup indeed, with Malkin, Tavares, Stamkos, Forsberg, Gilmour, Crosby, Brett Hull, Mario Lemieux, Beliveau, Fuhr and Cujo joining several of the aforementioned and some players appearing twice. Man, the more one looks at these babies, the cooler they are! Two scratched redemption cards will accompany the prizes; one is for the Cup Foundations Jersey and Patch Cards uncut sheet but the other does not match the other sheet. All in all, weird, wild stuff awaits the new owner and will impress you when delivered.
