YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1970/71 ESSO POWER PLAYERS NHL COMPLETE HOCKEY SET IN THE ESSO FACTORY ALBUM.

COMPLETE SET WITH ALL STAMPS IN ALBUM.

INCLUDES STARS:  BOBBY ORR, GORDIE HOWE, JEAN BELIVEAU, DARRYL SITTLER ROOKIE, BOBBY CLARKE ROOKIE, BOBBY HULL, JACQUES PLANTE AND MANY MORE.

STAMP ALBUM / BOOK IS IN VERY NICE SHAPE.

TOTALLY COMPLETE AND PERFECTLY INTACT.

SHOWS LIGHT SIGNS OF CAREFUL HANDLING. 

THIS COLLECTION, AS MOST, WAS PUT TOGETHER LONG AGO, POSSIBLY BY AND ADULT, BUT ALSO POSSIBLY BY AN OLDER CHILD.  I AM SAYING THAT BECAUSE WHILE THIS COLLECTION IS VERY NICE, AND MOST OF THE STAMPS ARE IN SUPER SHARP CONDITION, SOME OF THE STAMPS SHOW A BIT OF LIGHT WEAR, AND THERE MAY BE THE ODD MINOR SURFACE PAPER FLAW IN THE ALBUM.  OTHERS MAY SHOW A TEAR, OR MISSING BIT (THOSE ARE NOTED BELOW).  BECAUSE THESE STAMPS ORIGINALLY CAME IN PERFORATED PANELS OF SIX, IT WAS NOTE UNCOMMON THAT THEY WERE NOT CAREFULLY DETACHED.

  • RON ELLIS -- SMALL TEAR
  • ANDRE BOUDRIAS -- SMALL MISSING BIT ON UPPER RIGHT SIDE MARGIN
  • ORLAND KURTENBACH -- VERY SMALL TEAR
  • KEN HODGE -- MISSING PIECE LOWER LEFT SIDE MARGIN
  • REG FLEMING -- MISSING PIECE UPPER LEFT SIDE
  • TED HAMPSON -- MISSING A BIT OF SURFACE PAPER AT TOP LEFT CORNER
  • STAN MIKITA -- MISSING EVER THE TINIEST BIT FROM TOP LEFT VERY VERY CORNER TIP
  • GORDIE HOWE -- MISSING SMALL BIT FROM LOWER LEFT SIDE MARGIN
  • GUMP WORSLEY -- UPPER RIGHT SIDE MARGIN MISSING A COUPLE VERY SMALL BITS

DURING THE ESSO PROMOTION THE GAS STATION ISSUED A LARGE PANEL THAT INCLUDED PLAYER STATISTICS FOR EACH PLAYER. THEY WERE INTENDED TO BE ADHERED IN THE BOOK UNDER EACH PLAYER PHOTO. WHILE MOST ALBUMS DO NOT HAVE THEM, THIS ONE DOES. AGAIN, MOST ARE VERY NICE, BUT SOME ARE SLIGHTLY MISCUT.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS SOFT COVER ALBUM INCLUDED 3, 4, OR 5 PRE-PRINTED PLAYER PHOTOS FOR EACH TEAM AS A STARTER TO THE COLLECTION.

SEE SCANS FOR IDEA OF FURTHER CONDITION.

A VERY SHARP, CLEAN & ATTRACTIVE INCREDIBLE SPECIMEN OF THIS UNIQUE VINTAGE NHL ESSO HOCKEY SET!!!  

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!!!
