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 Fan Taken 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.   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 Rich Leduc & Dave Forbes of the Boston Bruins coming out of the Dressing Room Hallway about to go on the ice 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. 

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.
