About 15 years ago I was at an estate auction and bought a box lot.  It was mostly old paper and a few photo albums that were falling apart.  One of those albums had a whole bunch of Polaroid instant type photos of Hockey Scenes.  In index for the photo album were the titles Montreal 72, Boston 73, Montreal 73, Boston 74.  Many of the photo’s had a typed out paper strip explaining who was in the photos on the back and light printed year in pencil.  They all seem to be taken at Maple Leaf Gardens, various shots of NHL players (many of whom ended up in the Hockey Hall of Fame)  getting off and on the Team Bus (they don’t let any fans that close anymore sadly) Coming out of the dressing room’s, Warm up Skates, and Game pictures.  Because these are instant photos they are ONE OF A KINDS.  It is a fantastic photo history from a fan perspective that is not often seen.  Each one measures 3 ½ inches by 3 ½ inches.  THIS PARTICULAR PHOTO features a shot of various Toronto Maple Leafs Players at a pre-game warm up skate at MAPLE LEAF GARDENS.   It does have some yellow lines to the back from being in the album for so many years.   However It is free from creases or tears with sharp corners.  Over all it displays very well.   These don’t come up very often.  I am not even sure if you were allowed to take pictures of games at the Gardens so I imagine these are a tough find.  Own a ONE OF A KIND of hockey history.  I also have other polaroids from this same night up for sale at the moment.

I  will be trying to list several  EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds,  Circus themes and many more.  To view the other cards I have up on ebay please click  on the “View Sellers other Items” Icon located on this page. It will take you directly to them.

Due to my work schedule and distance to the post office I am only able to ship  Monday Mornings.  If I haven’t received payment for an item by Sunday evening,   the item will have to wait until the next Monday  to go out. Its unfortunate but unavoidable.   If this doesn’t work for you I respectfully ask that you do not bid or buy. Thanks again. 

This will be mailed from the USA.
