Classic Auctions Features Hall of Fame Collections

Classic Auctions is back with a whole new offering for Fall 2012. Over 1300 amazing items are up for bids. Stanley Cup rings, Olympic gold medals and amazing 1972 Summit Series finds are just some of what you will find in this offering. 

Let's take a look at some of the key personal collections available. 

Cashing In

The headline collection for Fall 2012 features 38 items from Wayne Cashman. 

When Wayne Cashman dies, it would be only too fitting that he be buried in the corner of the cemetery.  "Cash" was as fierce a cornerman as the NHL has ever seen. Teaming on a Boston Bruins line with Phil Esposito and Ken Hodge, his job was to go into the corners and battle for the loose pucks. Using his size and feared reputation, more often than not he would come out of the corner with the puck and set up either Hodge or Espo with a good scoring opportunity.

All that corner work resulted in two Stanley Cup championships. Both his 1970 and 1972 Stanley Cup championship rings are available for bids. Both are 10K gold with eye-catching diamond displays that are true pieces of beauty. His game worn 1970 Stanley Cup Finals game worn jersey promises to attract a ton of interest.

Cashman was also part of the famed 1972 Summit Series Team Canada. He has a dozen items from that "September to remember," including his 14 karat gold ring awarded to the player of the game in game 2.
