Darryl Sittler was a dominant NHL centre best known as the heart and soul of the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 1970s, combining leadership, scoring ability, and a fierce competitive edge. Drafted 8th overall by Toronto in 1970, he went on to record 1,121 career points and became the second‑youngest captain in Leafs history. Sittler is most famous for his legendary 10‑point game on February 7, 1976—still the single‑game NHL scoring record—where he scored six goals and four assists against Boston. He also starred for Team Canada in the 1976 Canada Cup, scoring the tournament‑winning goal. Although he never won a Stanley Cup, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1989 and remains one of the most beloved players in Leafs history. As The Nation Network noted, Sittler’s record‑setting night “captured the imagination of the hockey world”, cementing his place as one of the greatest centres of his era.

Contemporaneous cards, cards issued during the athletes playing career, consistently hold and increase in value more than other cards. This is not to denigrate tribute cards made years later as some of those cards are amazing too, but cards from the time the player was active hold both the most financial value and historical value.

The photo is a photo of the actual card so please take a good look at the card and pay attention to grading. But please also note that the back of the card label will have a certification and copy protection holographic label on the back of the label (the empty spot on the back of the label will be filled, we omit it here for security reasons).

HHA is part of HHA Grading and Reclamation (BC Business Registry 725858229bc001) which began as a group for hockey historians and collectors who initially were focused (and still are) on finding and releasing to the public on Youtube free video of old hockey games 20 to 70 years old. Recently (2024) HHA began focussing on providing a new type of trading card grading system with collectors in mind rather than investors. 

HHA was never intended to compete with PSA et al directly, but to provide an inexpensive yet (in our opinion) superior alternative to PSA et al for collectors tired of being robbed by the high grading fees charged by PSA. We want to make getting your cards graded more affordable, and we want to make sure historically important cards that may not have a high dollar value with investors gets the attention they deserve regardless of their assessed value.

Recently HHA moved to include certification and a webpage for verification, but our focus is primarily on cards worth less than $250 and usually less than $50 where grading is not cost effective, hence these cards are seldom graded at all, which has left a hole in the market and more concerning historically significant cards (especially from the 80s-00s) were not getting graded at all even Hall of Fame inductees. To address this problem HHA began their "reclamation" project which actively seeks out historically significant mid to low value cards, buys them, grades and labels them, and resells them at low prices with the attention and dignified presentation they deserve. This came about as we recognized so many historically important cards were not getting graded and slabbed simply because of their assessed market value. Our Reclamation Project seeks to remedy this problem by buying up historically and artistically significant cards, grading them, labelling them, slabbing them, and reselling them at low prices. 

HHA's beautiful card labels are created for easy identification of licensed cards and to aid sorting, but should not be considered as an endorsement or affiliation with or from any professional sports league or its teams, including the National Hockey League. We sell only cards that have been licensed by the relevant professional leagues/teams and our labels reflect that. The only exception is  HHA's limited edition WHA commemorative cards, as the WHA name and logo trademarks were all abandoned long ago and are thus public domain.
