Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2025
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/24/2025
Far less often seen than O-Pee-Chee hockey cards from the same season are these posters from the 1971-72 season that were released by O-Pee-Chee, which came attached, two to a pack and which are supposed to measure just under 10” by just under 18”. Featuring the two dozen biggest stars of the day including Bobby Orr, Ken Dryden, Jacques Plante, Guy Lafleur, Tim Horton, Bobby Hull and others, this lot offers a complete set of 1971-72 O-Pee-Chee posters totaling twenty-four (24). All measuring roughly 10" x 18" for their efforts with some slightly larger or smaller and retaining good colours for their age making them visually attractive, the group remains in overall good condition despite some instances of hastily cut edges and even toning that is seen as being between light and moderate throughout. With other things worth pointing out that are observed on some of the posters in the assembly including the odd small edge tear and expected fold lines/creases, the example of Dale Tallon has a light tape mark over its reverse as do those of Rod Gilbert, Norm Ullman, Orland Kurtenbach, Guy Lafluer (who also sports a large tear along the bottom fold line), Gilbert Perreault, Tim Horton, Jean Ratelle, Gump Worsley and the Montreal Canadiens team photo. Additionally the poster of Red Berenson has a small tear/separation in the top fold line while the photo of Walt McKechnie displays a small edge tear. For the more desirable examples of Orr, Dryden, Lafleur and Esposito, all are in roughly the same condition, showing moderate toning throughout and the odd rushed cut edge plus fold lines but avoiding any major flaws such as tears or stains. A neat complete set assembly of some seldom seen good shape poster examples, don't miss out on these for your all-important collection.
