Description: 1972 Hockey Canada Gary Bergman This lot consists of a Gary Bergman (on loan from the Detroit Red Wings)Team Canada card from the 1972 poster, cut out to tallboy size, and perfect for an aficionado to get autographed. "As we skated off the ice after the last game, I stopped for one more look around that old barn. I realized that never in my life would I be prouder or have more respect for a group of men that I did at that moment." Gary Bergman The card is stiff, plastic laminated (glossy front and back), size is 2 1/2"x 4 1/2", and condition is about as mint as you can get a laminated card, but it is one of our hockey history highlights, and will be shipped in a tallboy top-loader. FREE SHIPPING to Canada and the USA. Please Note: We opened our store in 1975, so we have a history with the Team Canada poster that these were obviously cut out from. Since we started selling in 1973, before we opened the store, that gives us 40 years as dealers, and in that time we've had maybe 5 of the posters. In the last couple of years the plastic-laminated cards have surfaced, and since the laminating from the 70s and 80s was much thicker than these, they are not contemporary. Also, the laminated ones are often toned or have other small faults which they wouldn't have had they been produced when the poster came out. That having been said, they are collectible and worthwhile for a few reasons. If you collect a single player or a team, they are the only way. They are card-size (tall-boy) and fit in with your collection a lot easier than a poster. They will eventually be on want-lists and probably someone will start grading them, and simply because they exist, there will be a demand. Orr wasn't on the team, but he was on the poster, conventional lore has that he humbly did not want to be in the distributed posters and that was why we see so few of them... The last reason why they are worth gathering up is that they are comparatively inexpensive considering the value of odd-ball 1972 stuff, and the crazy prices for new chase cards. We love collectors.
