Perhaps many unsold stock packets of them survived, but the sheer attractiveness of the photos is off the charts, and would stand out in any Bobby Orr display, I feel. Many of the shots of his teammates are equally good. Thanks for sharing. ---Brian Powell |

That pic really brings home that at the height of his prowess, Orr was really still practically a kid.

Thanks for the comments guys! Another cool thing about the photo is the texture. It feels a little bit like very fine sand paper or pebbly if you know what I mean.

My strong feeling for the hefty PSA holder is that it creates massive protection, and the illusion it's a thicker card. The same holds true for the 1914-15 Cracker Jack baseball, which are extremely thin. Ditto the 1954 Wilson Franks. Again, thanks for sharing, JB! As an aside, I really admire the photo of Derek Sanderson, "the center of attention", whose contribution to the Big Bad Bruins was immense. The show was on when he and Ed Westfall took the ice to kill one of the many penalties their teammates incurred. ---Brian Powell Last edited by brian1961; 07-07-2017 at 10:47 AM. |

I'm a big fan of pre-rookie issues of hall of famers. Here's one I just picked up that I've never seen before, a 1965-66 Toronto Marlborough Athletic Club Team Issued Photo of Brad Park.

Picked these beauties up last month for $10 each. Had no idea what "book" was but I felt good at the price. It appears I did well, if it matters. These will be in my collection for a long, long time.

Thanks Dale! Here's something else you might enjoy. It's a beautiful 1955 Type I Photo of Bobby Hull with the St. Catharines Teepees. The following note was hand written on the back, maybe by the photographer:
Lil Bobby Hull - Oct 6/55 Pilous (at the time coached the Teepees - future coach of the Blackhawks) knew he'd make a big splash his first day in TP's camp

Here's my latest hockey pick-up. It's a Charlie Conacher Awards Dinner Program from June 5, 1980. Cover includes an early career signature of Wayne Gretzky, who was honoured that evening as the winner of the Conacher award. Gordie Howe and Bob Gainey signed the inside back cover (don't know who the third signature belongs to).

It's getting real tough to find hockey postcards with hall of fame players so I'm real happy a buddy of mine made these available to me. Nothing beats picking up your stuff in person!
• 1907-08 Pembroke Debating Club Hockey Team RPPC. Includes Hall Of Famer Frank Nighbor (Misspelled "Neighbor") • 1908 Pembroke Lumber Kings Team Postcard. Includes Hall Of Famer Hugh Lehman (Goalie)

Thanks Tony! I've seen similar photos like that for other teams but not the Racers one with Gretzky.

Here's a 1979 Edmonton Oilers (WHA) Team Issued 18th Birthday Program Insert Photo of Wayne Gretzky. This photo was inserted into game programs at the January 26th, 1979 WHA Edmonton Oilers game when Wayne signed his big 21-year "personal services" contract with Peter Pocklington's Oilers.
