The History of Hockey - Original Art Memo Cards Checklist - with scans

[rferrier]

Thanks to Dr. Brian Price and his team for the effort put into this release.
To highlight what many people (including myself) are considering the gems of the product and to help with a request made in another thread about the players/teams featured, I thought I would try and help out by expanding on the checklist provided by ITG and include scans to serve as reference.

Release date for The History of Hockey: Friday, December 14, 2012

Excellent thread and reference!

 

[BillInDallas]

Thanks for this great thread!

 

[rferrier]

Updated #32 with a scan.

 

[bamlinden]

Thanks for creating this thread. Some amazing cards!

Very helpful for the player collectors out there for sure.

 

[Rraincock]

What do the backs look like?

 

[Triple B]

#39...if ITG made an entire set that looked like this, old school collectors and collectors of vintage cards would lose their ****ing ****.

 

[rferrier]

Update with a scan of the back of a card (sorry it's a little blurry but gives the general layout), also added a scan for #35.

 

[stjust33]

#39...if ITG made an entire set that looked like this, old school collectors and collectors of vintage cards would lose their ****ing ****.

I agree. they should have skipped all the buy backs and made a base set with no memorabilia, and then the same cards with memorabilia.

I agree. they should have skipped all the buy backs and made a base set with no memorabilia, and then the same cards with memorabilia.

A few hundred base card sets, (or more), of these 144 cards would be awesome for hockey collectors.

Hmmmm......

 

[rferrier]

Scans #31 and #33 added... Only missing 5 scans, any help appreciated.

 

[c_bass22]

Here is number 13, a little too expensive for me though.

[rferrier]

Thanks, #13 added... 4 more to go.

 

[rferrier]

Added #38, three to go...

 

[MGiuseffi1969]

Maybe I missed it...but I don't see this one on your list:

Were art cards produced of all the unique cards created for this product?

 

[rferrier]

As far as I understand, please correct me if I'm wrong, but only the original art/mem cards (1/1's) were issued hand-painted.
The other art/mem cards issued were gold (#/10) or silver (#/40) prints of the original (not-issued) hand-painting.
This list is just the original art/mem cards.

Another question, does anyone know how many artists were used?
Did each artist do a set of all 40 paintings or all 10 of a couple of cards?

 

[mwheeler27]

Another question, does anyone know how many artists were used?

Did each artist do a set of all 40 paintings or all 10 of a couple of cards?

4 artists were used for the "original art" cards.

I would assume that when one of these artists did one card, they did all 10 copies. Therefore, no one artist did all 40 cards.

Make sense?

 

[rferrier]

I think you're right, if an artist paints one card it makes sense they would paint all 10.

From Dr. Price's blog:
"There are 400 1/1 hand-painted cards in the art/memo part of the product, that’s a 1/10 average. There are 10 of each 1/1 hand-painted cards..."

Jared Kelley is mentioned as an artist.

Anyone know the others and which artist painted which card?

 

[rferrier]

Bumpin it up, #22 added... only 2 left to get images of.

 

[BillInDallas]

Any thoughts of doing the rest of the art card set? Obviously a lot of scans and work, but I might be able to help out as well.
