Default Bee Hive hockey cards.

Just finished snapping a few pics of my Beehives.

I know very little about these so any info about them would be greatly appreciated.

There are 247 in total and 5 envelopes that the cards came in back in the day.

Some pics look older than others, (the era) but I could be wrong?

Beehives are great--and you have a nice collection there. The overall condition looks good too. They were released in three different series/groups between the 1930s and the 1960s, so yes, some will look different than others depending on the group. You have group I and group II (group III Beehives have a brown wood grain border).

The value varies widely, with some only worth a few dollars and others worth much more. Often the more obscure players are the most valuable. And to further complicate things some players had variations in their photo that can make some variations very rare--and thus, more valuable.

Contact me if you are looking to sell, as I would be interested in knowing more about them.

Thanks for the info, Boysblue.

Any idea where I can look to find out this info? I did a bit of reading last night and found a few names of cards that were valuable, (none I have that I can see?) but the info seemed quite old and outdated?

Are the pics the main thing that gets judged for condition or is that also based on the paper/matting they are attached to?

I posted some info at vintagehockeyforum and they have received some interest for sure but I am unsure, at this point, what I am going to do with them?

Thanks again.

Best bet for pricing is the Charlton Price Guide, which contains a list of every card Beehive manufactured as well as a value. I see you live in Canada--southern Ontario by any chance? If so, let me know as I have a guide you can have.

Yes, I am in Southern Ontario, Oshawa to be exact. Where about's are you?
(PM if you prefer?)

Thanks for the offer. That would be great to have!

Charlton is outdated I would think, they haven't published in years. The current standard is Bobby Burrell's guide; the 2nd edition came out a couple of months ago: http://vintagehockeycollector.com/
