• 1955 Type I Photograph (8" x 10") of Bobby Hull of the St. Catharines Teepees

• 1970-71 Photograph (3.5" x 4.75") of Marcel Dionne of the St. Catharines Black Hawks

• 1971-72 Team Issued Photo Print of Bobby Orr

I currently don't own any but I sure appreciate looking at some.

Great photos, guys!

I love the pre-rookie stuff. That Dionne and Hull are fantastic. I've got a Bossy floating around here somewhere.

Thanks Dave & Dale,
Did some research on the Nerses stamp on the back of the Dionne photo. Nerses Photo Studio is in St Catharines, Ontario and is still in operation to this day!

Great stuff. Do you guys think slabbing these photos adds any value like cards since they are all slabbed authentic? I kinda liked the way they look in holders not to mention the protection they offer.

All comes down to preference. It's a minimum 80 bucks + shipping both ways to get a photo slabbed.

I've only sent in one photo ever to get slabbed by PSA. It was a Jordan pre-rookie, and it cost me over $175 bucks after PSA tacked on their upcharge.

On the bright side, I got it back in less then 2 weeks during the pandemic bump, while people on the card side have been waiting for months for their orders.

I think on higher end stuff it might add some resale value, but on most stuff, I don't think photo guys care as much as the card guys do, especially since condition issues that card guys are worried about, are much more subjective and forgiven, and almost expected out of necessity by photo collectors.

It depends on the photo. If you have a photo that was used to make a popular card or a rookie photo, then yes, it's worth slabbing it.

Anyways, here is a recent pick-up:

Bobby Orr is getting ready to circle the net. Boston's goalie, who I think is Gilles Gilbert, appears to be waving his stick in front of the opposing player in order to stop him from chasing Orr. The game was pretty dirty back then!

I wanted to say Gerry Cheevers as those look like stitch marks on the mask but according to the numbers I just looked up, Gerry Cheevers only wore #1 in 1967, and this pic of Orr looks much later than that.

Gilles Gilbert wore #1 from 1974 to 1980.
Great photo!

That's quaint as hell.

Looking at the building, you're apt to say to yourself "of course, that business has been around since at least 1970.............of course."
