The Jean Beliveau Auction- February 2005
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/22/2005
The winning bidder will have a ton of fun sifting through this lot of over 100 photographs which capture two decades of NHL action, as well as some off-ice takes. There are 28 big 9" x 13" photos taken by the photographers of Sports Illustrated in the mid-to-late 1960's and mostly capture Gump Worsley and his Canadiens teammates in action against Boston, Chicago and Detroit. There's also a classic of the Gumper still in his gear, enjoying a smoke and a ginger ale. Among the 75 or so other photos, Gump is pictured in action while with the Rangers, Canadiens and North Stars. There are a few wire photos including one with him actually wearing a mask. A photo of Charlie Hodge helping him bandage his hand before a game is among a few dressing room shots. Being attended to by nurses while injured in hospital in New York, a group shot from a 1979 North Stars' Oldtimers game, a team photo of a late 1970's NHL Oldtimers ball team (including the Rocket, Boomer, Moore, Mosdell and others) taken at Montreal's Olympic Stadium, and other great action shots make for an entertaining lot. Condition is not wonderful with many of the photos having curled up over the years. Oh well, curl up on the couch yourself and have some fun uncurling them! From Gump Worsley's personal collection with his signed LOA.
