From the good old days when you could get Canucks tickets at Shopper's Drug Mart for a few dollars. This lot represents a COMPLETE set of all poster calendars issued by Shoppers Drug Mart Beginning in 1971, and the first of the folding calendars issued starting 1980. . Large 24 x 37" poster calendars, this format was issued until 1979-80. Truly rare to find the complete set, especially in such presentable condition. Given the poster format they were typically pinned or taped to the wall and rarely kept after the new one came out. They are not mint but overall very nice.
Includes
1971-72 - has some creasing, a little waviness to it, some edge wear/nibbles/ tape marks on the back, but nothing major
1972-73 - 3 small clean tears, no missing paper, light/average creasing
1973-74 - has some small tears, a bit of paper missing from top right corner, a few marks on it but one in pencil and can be erased, also writing in pencil on back and a fold mark on the calendar portion
1974-75 - in about as good shape as you will find - it has a fold, they were issued this way, but in fantastic shape aside from light handling wear
1975-76 - Top margin has some tape marks and a few spots of light paper loss, tape on back, small tear on the side
1976-77 - a small paper nibble on the left margin, a few stains on the back, but otherwise sharp with only light handling wear
1977-78 - has a fair amount of creasing, some waviness to the paper, some spots of discoloration, some boxes scored neatly in pencil.
1978-79 - minor flaws, scores written neatly in boxes.
1979-80 a few spots on the bottom border on the front, and on the back, and aside from that some light edge wear.
1980-81 - the first in the traditional format folding calendar, 17x22 unfolded, one year earlier than the 82 Stanley Cup Finals cinderella team. Some great pictures, this displays some handling wear, paper nibbles right side margin, but looks great.
