Here's a sweet card of Ted Lindsay

That is sweet. As classic as it gets. I have my eye on the Sawchuk from that set, SGC, but its not an "8". The Ted is gorgeous.

Thanks Rob!

Picked up this 1933 Sport Kings #19 Eddie Shore PSA 5 at the Toronto Expo today (Nicest PSA 5 in the world!)

These just back from Newport Beach:

Here are a few neat pickups:

1905 Calumet Hockey Club Team Postcard that includes Jimmy Gardner HOF (front row, far left)

1973 Bobby Orr Photo by Dimitri
Includes signatures of Team Canada players & coaches from the 1976 Canada Cup Roster: Scotty Bowman, Don Cherry, Bobby Clarke, Phil Esposito, Bobby Hull, Reggie Leach, Peter Mahovlich, Bobby Orr & Darryl Sittler

1976 "Keep Orr" Sticker (Grant Printing Company, Inc.)
This sticker was created by a local printer who distributed them outside of the Boston Garden during a playoff game in 1976 when it was speculated that Orr was not going to remain a Bruin next season

Great P/U's guys!

Seeing all these has made me think maybe I'll start collecting hockey cards again!

the '90 ud hockey set is a personal favorite...and when you pair that up with the next hockey savior i had to get the card signed.

Picked up a few 1962-63 H.M.Cowan / Screenart Hockey Premium Tiles at the Toronto Nostalgia Show last week

Nice P/U's, JB!

Curious, as I don't attend shows with any frequency, but where would one go to find out about shows in and around the GTA?

I also assume, most in and around there are hockey related rather than Baseball related?

Thanks in advance. :)

Hi Irv,
There's a show pretty much every weekend in and around Toronto, here are a couple of links (didn't include the Expo that's twice a year):

torontocardshow.com

westtorontocardshow.com

Mostly hockey but some baseball too. Also, there's lots of modern cards but I'm not into those. Sometimes the best stuff at these small shows is walked in by the customers, I've picked up a few things that way.

Jeff

Thanks, Jeff.

I appreciate the info and links! :)

Some more hockey deliveries this week:

1970 O-Pee-Chee #232 Boston Bruins Team Stanley Cup Champions PSA 8

1977 M.S. Read-a-thon Bobby Orr Promotional Card
This rare promotional card was issued to Chicago area school children who took part in the M.S. Read-a-thon

1973-74 Regina Pats Team Postcard
Includes Clark Gillies HOF (middle row, first player on left)

Great finds/Pick ups, Jeff!

One of my guilty pleasures are late 80's - early 90's Jordan cards!

...and some hockey! Here's a neat 1951-52 Cleveland Barons Team Issued Photo of hockey hall of famer Fred Shero!

Part of a Christmas gift from my youngest daughter. She always gets me what I really want.
:D:D

Happy New Year from Adam and Pistol Pete:

I can still smell this 1990 fleer packs and feel that think poly of the hoops packs hoping to land a Jordan or mr robinson.

That has a Beehive look to it, Jeff, but if my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, I'd say it is a one piece of paper/cardboard card, not two?

Nice P/U, again! :)

Hi Irv,
The Shero is one piece and the paper is quite thin.
Jeff

Here's something I've never seen before. A 1949-50 Cleveland Barons Christmas Card signed on the front by Publicity Director Eddie Coen. This card also has images of Johnny Bower & Bun Cook on the inside. This might be the earliest printed image of the great Johnny Bower!

Antique Goalie stick
 

Picked up my second antique goalie stick (circa 1910) a few months back not as nice as my first but still very hard to find

Picked up MJ rookie in SGC grade of 84... bit o/c but very sharp card

http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...psczqjud2t.jpg

Gretzky upgrade

Picked up a 1970 O-Pee-Chee #235 Black Bottom Print Variation signed by Bobby Hull. First time I've seen one of these variations signed!

Beautiful cards JB and Duane

Here are a couple I've never seen before, really happy to win these on ebay!

• 1951-52 Quebec Aces Postcard of Jean Beliveau
• 1969-70 Quebec Remparts Team Issue of Guy LaFleur. Includes an early career signature of LaFleur on the back!

those are great, JB.

This was sold to me as a signed exhibit card. I was a bit ticked off when it was 'just' a team issue with the same image but the price was really low so I kept it. My colleagues split on the signature with many saying they couldn't tell and others saying it was a nice early version. So I sent it in with the last PSA special to settle the issue:

Also re-acquired this card that I had when I was a kid; this one looks better:

Very nice cards/memorabilia guys! :)

A couple of oddball BK.

Julius could rise. I first saw him just after he came over to the Sixers, at a point when supposedly his knees already were gone. He wrecked the Bullets, and had a dunk where it looked like he took off from behind the foul line. Perhaps not the greatest all around player in the world, but a fabulous athlete.

Here's a 1988 Fournier Estrellas Sealed Sticker Pack showing the Michael Jordan sticker inside

Just back from PSA, a sweet 1970 O-Pee-Chee "Black Bottom Print Variation" of Mr. Hockey Gordie Howe!

Great looking Gordie. It looks much better than the grade. Congrats.

Duane

Not the black bottom print variation, Jeff, but I just won this one minutes ago. :)

Watching/looking at your hockey card P/U's has got me back collecting what I loved to collect as a kid. :D

Great cards boys!

Thanks Stephan.

The Howe is a big upgrade for me as my other copy was loved quite a bit by me when I was a kid.:D

I also loved this set but never completed it as a kid. Something I have long regretted.

JB. Love the sticker pack with Jordan showing. If you are ever interested in selling please PM me.

Here's a 1936 Cleveland Falcons Real Photo Postcard of Tommy Cook. Tommy also played in the NHL with the Chicago Blackhawks.

Finally picked up a decent Gretzky rookie!

Very Nice!

A Gretzky rookie is definitely on my want list.

Nice Gretzky! Here's something I've never seen before - A C.1950's Maurice Richard Ink Blotter advertising "Rocket Richard Bread"!

Here's a 1934-44 Bee Hive Hockey Photo (Group I) signed by Dit Clapper. Thanks Dale!

You're welcome, Jeff!

Nice meeting and doing business with you. :)

The card looks great!

Thanks for all your help and advice too, I really appreciate it!

Here's my pickup for the day, a 1924 Soo Greyhounds RPPC with Bun Cook.
Jeff

Been after a Dryden autograph for a long time. Second year OPC is in real nice condition to boot.

Dit Clapper. Wow. It must be great to live in Canada. Hockey collectors dream.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

Thanks for your comments on my Clapper Neil! Here's a bunch of rare Bobby Orr items I recently picked up (most from a fellow Canadian too!):

• 1960's - 1970's Ron & Bobby Orr Clothing and Sporting Goods Promotional Card
• 1970 Bobby Orr Testimonial Dinner Program
• 1970 Eddie Sargent Sealed Paper Packet (8 Player Stamps) Bobby Orr Showing On Top

Congrats.

That's what I mean about living up north. Very nice pickups. Envious

Irv, just picked up a King Clancy Brian MacFarland, Dave Hodge signed Leafs program. Hope it's real anyway. Maybe you could give an opinion?

I wish I could, Neil, but I have zero experience when it comes to autographs.

I would see what jb217676 (Jeff) has to say as I would assume he has way more experience in this field than what I do.

Nice pick ups, BTW. I hope the sigs are legit.

Thanks Irv.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

Hi guys,
Not an autograph expert but the three of them did work together. Chances are great that they are legit.
Jeff

Thanks Jeff. Encouraging is better than a nope.


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The Clancy looks good, but most likely signed very late in life. Very shaky.

I was thinking the very same thing about the Clancy being signed in his later years. Compared to earlier signatures the difference is evident. Thank you for your input.

Just Back from SCG '51 Signed Parkies

Special thanks to Ray.

Very nice, Neil! :)

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

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

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!

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!

Nice pick-up Dale! Here are a few pieces I got in the mail this week:

• 1932-33 Moncton Hawks School Notebook. I've never seen one of these before!
• 1967-68 Montreal Canadiens Team Issue of Jacques Lemaire (Facsimile Autograph, Rookie)
• 1967-68 Montreal Canadiens Team Issue of Serge Savard (Facsimile Autograph, Pre OPC Rookie)
• 1972-73 Letraset Action Transfers of Bobby Orr (Dallas Smith / Walt McKechnie)

Great P/U's, Jeff!

1971-72 rookie year Pro-Star Promotions Guy Lafleur.

Great LaFLeur! Here's a nice 1985-86 (Pre OPC Rookie) postcard of Patrick Roy.

My first Beehive.

Nice P/U!

Congrats!

Here are a few picks from the Toronto Expo last weekend:
• 1906 Queens University Hockey Club Team Postcard (Includes George Richardson & Marty Walsh)
• 1948-52 Canadian Exhibits Bill Barilko
• 1970's Bobby Orr Rally Hockey Equipment Promotional Card

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.
