Sotheby’s offered the piece in their March 1993 catalog. It shows the schedule of events at the Garden in November 1936, highlighting the New York Americans match to open the season on November 12th against the Chicago Black Hawks.
It was described as being printed on heavy stock with a blank reverse; “one of the finest hockey broadsides ever offered,” near mint condition. 11 in by 17 in. The estimate was $1,500-2,000.
