Dale,
Here are scans of the two Beehives that I got graded: img822 by kekinsley, on Flickr img823 by kekinsley, on Flickr Unfortunately, Beckett graded items do not scan well. The plastic is thicker so that's why they look so bad. I even did it in a dark room. A little frustrating but it is what it is. Also, they are actually slightly bigger than the surface of my scanner. That's why the pics appear cut off. I did pick them up at a local show. We have shows in our area most weekends but the one that I attend most frequently as a regular seller that has nothing but hockey (he's originally from Ontario) and he had them. They were the only two. I think they said they were his brother's at one time, if I remember correctly. Andrew Shaw was a nice guy when I met him. For some reason I expected he wouldn't be, but I'm glad that I was wrong. I actually have a (online) collecting friend in Ontario that's buying and sending me some Canadian stamps. I'm going to send a TTM request to him and see how it goes. I also scanned the pages below that were in the first Beckett Vintage Collector magazine. This was the first that I learned about the Beehives and where most of my limited knowledge comes from. img824 by kekinsley, on Flickr img825 by kekinsley, on Flickr img826 by kekinsley, on Flickr img827 by kekinsley, on Flickr Have a great evening! -kin Quote:

Did you purchase your Beehives already graded or did you yourself get them graded? If so, can you remember the cost? Yeah, Andrew Shaw is definitely nicer off ice than he is off, but I assume most are, hopefully? It was a fun day watching my son be able to skate/play hockey with him. He not only taught the kids a few things, he inspired them to be better, stay in school and get good grades, etc. It was a great experience for my son and one he'll likely never forget. Thanks again, Kin. Take care Dale.

I have been getting a few inquiries lately about my Beehives, and although, at this point, I don't really plan on selling them, I am curious if there is any new updates/news about them?
Also wondering, if someone is a member, if they'd mind checking out what this lot sold for, if if did, back in 2011, for me? https://sports.ha.com/itm/hockey-car...a/7037-80096.s Thanks

I was ready to say WOW, but considering this completed set, with all the extras, is super rare, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.
The Cy Wentworth, if it's of him in a CDN's sweater, is worth over $8,000 alone. A recent auction of 89, which a guy PM'd me about thinking they were mine, just sold for $777.00 so they are receiving some love/attention, which is good to hear. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/HUGE-lot-of-1...sAAOSwx2dYCLzm Thanks for providing the info, Spec. I appreciate it very much!

Beehives
Hi Irv.
I just looked over your list of Beehives and I can see you used the Beehive Museum website to compile your list. Most of the photos on that site came from 2 or 3 collectors and even that sight does not have a complete list of all available photos. This is truly one of the most difficult sets to complete. I am in the process of putting all my Beehives on a flicker account. I live in the country so the internet service is real slow( a little faster than dial up ). If you lookup billsmart2 on flicker you will see it. I have a very complete list of all known Beehives as well as the unconfirmed ones along with most of the extra items such as the planes, order forms, tokens cans and collars, etc. This is a far more extensive set than most people realize. If you need any help just ask. I have over 800 of the 1023 hockey players known to exist as well as olympians, airplanes, who's who books etc. I also have over 200 doubles I am willing to trade |
