1936 Triumph Hockey Postcards

[jb217676]

I'm VERY happy to pick up 9 of the 10 1936 Triumph hockey postcards recently, all graded by PSA. And with the help of a fellow board member, I was able to pick up the last one I needed ("Ching" Johnson, I should get this one next week). I always wanted to pick up one of these (especially the Eddie Shore), but they rarely come up for sale. To get 9 all at once, I couldn't let that opportunity pass me by! These postcards were circulated as supplements inside copies of "The Triumph", a magazine distributed by the Amalgamated Press in Great Britain between January and March, 1936. A tough set to say the least, very few copies of each have been graded. Here's some scans, enjoy!

Congrats on completing the set. I love it. Still looking for the Shore myself.

Took me a long time, but I finally picked up the 1936 Triumph wallet to truly complete my set! This wallet held five postcards in each side when opened. Here's a scan of the front and my complete set can be seen here:
