is off for trip 'down under'
A recent hockey collectibles trade show in Toronto attracted
more than 1.200 persons and about 1,000 showed up in Jonquiere,
Quebec to talk about and see the latest phenomenons in the sports
collecting business, lapel pins.
Way back in our days as a youngster the only collectibles were
pictures of NHL players provided by two companies, Bee Hive corn
syrup and the St. Lawrence Starch company.
Now sports collections include cards, pucks, sweaters, sticks,

but, at least one knows spring is just around the corner when
baseball talk starts floating around.
While the major league baseball teams are in the sunny south

Currently the most valuable hockey collectibles are those hav-
ing anything to do with Wayne Gretzky. A Gretzky bubble guns
card from the 1979-80 season, his first in the NHL goes for about
$15 on the open market. That's about $14.80 more than any other
card in the same set.

was fast paced and well played with
lots of action up and down the rink.
Both the goalies were tested time and
time again and came up excellent ef-
forts when really needed.
Hensall was first on the score board
at 7:46 of the first period on a goal by
Jason Imanse. At 6:41 of the second
period Huron Park short handed with
Jeff Benewies off for trip tied it up
with a goal by Dave Bryson assisted
by T. Nyugen. By the end of the
period lrensall had a one goal edge on
Huron Park when Jim Dickins'set up
Brian Moir.
It took until the 7:50 mark of the
third period for Iluron Park to tie the
game again but less than 14 seconds
later Ilensall replied with a
breakaway shot by Hob Taylor svho
beat Huron Park's goalie cleanly.
Hensall scored again at the 1: 18 mark
on a goal by Jim Dickins. assisted by
Brian Moir.
With 1:01 left in the game )lensall
took a two minute penalty for elbow-
ing. The Huron Park coach pulled the
goalie and went with six attackers.
The strategy payed off as Gary
Wilson took passes Irani Steve
Dubarry and Steve Watson and made
it a 4-3 game. Only seconds later Steve
Debarry combined on passes from
Garry Wilson and Steve Watson and
the game was lied up and headed for
overtime. All it took was 43 seconds
for the Huron Park's Steve Dubarry
to set up Steve Watson for the game
winning goal.
For most casual collectors, a Gretzky souvenir is just a con-
versation piece, but, for a big supporter of No. 99, it could be a na-
tional treasure. -
Gretzky sticks are selling in some sports for as much as $50.
There should be a much cheaper way to get this type of souvenir.
Just go to a sporting goods store and buy a Titan stick which Gret-
zky uses. Ile is very co-operative about autographs so a wait out-
side any NHL rink at which he appears should result in getting
his signature on that special stick.
Our collection of NHL pictures, mostly from Bee Hive go back
to the early 1930's and include the last Montreal Maroons team and
the ;Montreal Canadiens of 1934-35.
Individual players we have include Aurel Joliat who was
showcased recently on a Hockey Night in Canada telecast at a
Canadiens celebration.
The most famous Maple Leaf photos we have are of King Clan-
cy. Hap Day, Charlie Conacher, Joe Primeau, Busher Jackson and
Turk Broda to name only a few.
We also happen to have a number of large sized posters of Gret-
zky which we are taking along to Australia this week. Probably
can trade him for some cricket stars.
Very little hockey is played in Australia, but, some people there
know about Gretzky. A year ago we talked to John Bendeick, prin-
cipal of an agricultural college down under and he said there were
three things he wanted to see in Canada. They were the Rockies.
Niagara Fulls and Wayne Gretzky.
