Very nice, Neil!

[nicknock-2013]

Those holders make these cards look great. But their customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

I had my 1934-44 Bee Hive Hockey Photo of Dit Clapper slabbed by PSA as a "cut" autograph since the photo became separated from the backing paper before I sent it in. There was barely any glue holding old Dit together, now he looks leaner and meaner!

[nicknock-2013]

Nice indeed.

That turned out great, Jeff!

Glad you're enjoying it.

Picked up this 1950-51 Cleveland Barons Team Photo on ebay. It was listed poorly with a bad description, something like "photo with autographs". One of those 11 autographs is hockey hall of famer Fred "Bun" Cook!

Here's a Boston Bruins Game Ticket Envelope from the 1949-50 Season

Thanks again, Neil. Pretty happy to have this!

[jb217676]

Here are a few picks from the Toronto Expo last weekend:

Thanks! I wanted to pick one up after reading about them in Brian Powell's book, and Mr. Mikita was the first card I pulled from my first pack of hockey cards many moons ago. It's in perfect condition, and I was surprised at how inexpensive it was.

Great P/U's, Jeff.
How was the Expo by the way? I was wanting to go but I just couldn't co-ordinate my Father's and my schedule. I was hoping to meet Larry personally and talk further about my Beehives too, but it just wasn't met to be I guess?

Yes, Beehives, surprisingly, considering their age, etc, just aren't all that popular/in demand, unfortunately. I have 245, (sold one to Jeff above) that my Father gave me and they are great, imo.
I am currently thinking about trading/selling them to Nicknock, but I just can't bring myself to it lately knowing these were my Father's and what he collected as a kid.

Nice Bee Hive! Here's my last pick-up from the Toronto Expo. It's an early 1980's Edmonton Oilers Wood Plaque that I personally had signed by Paul Coffey & Grant Fuhr at the Expo.

Story goes that this plaque originally hung in the ticket office of Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, former home of the Buffalo Sabres!

[nicknock-2013]

That is unique. Great autos to have on it too. I'm going to get up to one of those Toronto expos some day. Can't find good quality early sixties cards here at a fair price. Dealers at shows here who do have hockey seem to think they're holding gold, which they are here, but I think I'd find better options up north. Nice pickup Jeff.

Here's a rare autograph from a guy that played just nine NHL games for the Red Wings. Right up my alley. Unique oddball hockey autos. Tony Licari. Lived to be 99. Got this from Ray here on Net54.

Normally a baseball only guy. I picked up these and some football cards. I am getting the bug to expand into other sports I think.

Please forgive the photos

Here's an original 1976 Canada Cup 3.5" x 5" snapshot photo of Bobby Orr & Ivan Hlinka signed by the two players. This photo was part of a group of photos supplied by Team Canada to the media and comes from the collection of a former sports writer who covered the 1976 Canada Cup Tournament.

[nicknock-2013]

Jeff, sweet item there, and rare for sure.

X2! Very nice P/U, Jeff.

[jb217676]

Thanks guys! I just spoke to the seller of the Orr/Hlinka photo on the phone and worked out a deal for 5 more one-of-a-kind signed photos, one is a Vadnais/Orr that is the same as my other photo but has a 1976 postcard back!

[Jcfowler6]

Started in on the non-baseball and I can't stop.

[jb217676]

From the same source as my Hlinka/Orr, here's a 1976 Canada Cup Carol Vadnais/Bobby Orr that has been signed by both of them. This one was turned into a postcard!

Also, a 1964-65 Niagara Falls Flyers Team Photo with early images of Bernie Parent & Derek Sanderson

[irv]

Very nice, Jeff!

[jb217676]

Thanks Irv! Picking up a bunch of rare Orr items lately, here's two more:

• 1971-72 Photograph of Bobby Orr & Derek Sanderson
• 1973-74 Team Issued Photo of Bobby Orr

If there is one hockey player to collect from, it is definitely Orr cards and memorabilia, imo.

I know I wish I had more!

Great P/U's again, Jeff!

Good luck with your quest.

[jb217676]

Thanks Dale! Dropped by my buddies house and picked up a few more items:

• C.1970's Bobby Orr Team Issued Practice Photo
• 1971-72 Bobby Orr Team Issued Photo Print (Stamped 1976 on reverse)
• C.1990's Bobby Orr Clothing Tag (Broke my rules getting something post playing career but I was told these are near impossible to find)
• C.1970's Chicago Blackhawks Wrist Bands (Unopened & Awesome!)

[irv]

Wow, Jeff!

Very nice items again!

[jb217676]

Here's one of my favourite hockey postcards, a real nice 1912-13 Real Photo Postcard of the Quebec Bulldogs championship team loaded with hall-of-famers! Included in the image are Joe Hall, "Phantom" Joe Malone, Patrick "Paddy" Moran & Tommy Smith. Postally unused and real clean!

You keep hitting it out of the park!.

Sweet looking postcard of the Bulldogs. Congrats. That is just an incredibly cool looking postcard and I am not even a hockey collector.

Here's a C. 1930's Lucky Strike Cigarettes Advertising Piece

This rare ad piece was meant to be folded with two cigarettes inserted in the holes to create the players legs. The player shown is film star Jack Mulhall

I've always wanted a George Mikan Rookie. I decide to fill the void with this 48-49 Exhibit card.
Fits in nicely with my other Mikan cards. Both personally pulled.
