Having just received the official "Letter Of Authenticity" from James Spence (JSA), I have decided to put this piece here for sale on HI. As some of you might have seen this before, you will probably recognize it. But, it is a program from the 24th annual NHL All-Star banquet held in Boston January 18, 1971. Those who attended the banquet were each given a signed program from a number of the players present that year. There are a total of 35 autographs on the program, many of which are now in the hockey Hall Of Fame.
HOF names include
Clarence Campbell
Milt Schmidt
Gordie Howe
Stan Mikita
Tom Johnson
Bobby Clarke
John Bucyk
Harry Sinden
Phil Esposito
Tony Esposito
Jacques Laperriere
Other notable autos
Pit Martin
Pete Mahovlich
Keith Magnuson
Dennis Hull
Bill White
Ken Hodge
Barckley Plager
Pat Stapleton
and others.....
Here is the front cover
And the back of the program
Also included, actual color photos taken during the banquet....
(note Howe and Hull reading their copies of the program on the left side)
followed by the actual COA
Is it a "one-of-a-kind"? I doubt it. But I have never seen another one of these and neither has one of Boston's leading hockey specialty shops (Slapshot Sportscards).
This piece originated from the wife of a Massachusetts gentleman who had it in his collection (he was present at the banquet). He has since passed away and was purchased from his wife, who was reducing the sports memorabilia left behind.
Early estimates (Leland Auction House) have this piece at about $20 to $25 per autograph ($700 to $875). However, I am looking for a reasonable and sensible offer, but I am flexible. Serious offers only please.
