The IceBox Cards & Collectibles is proud to present the Robert Thomas Collection, an amazing array of in-person autographs meticulously collected throughout the 1970s and 1980s in Toronto.

Mr. Thomas was a cameraman for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for more than 20 years and a longtime Toronto Maple Leafs season-ticket holder.

When Mr. Thomas wasn't behind the lens for the CBC, however, he was busy with his hobby -- collecting hockey autographs. His unique access to players and coaches allowed him to fill binder after binder with signed cards, photos, team-issue postcards and more.

 

 

Players and coaches knew Mr. Thomas as one of the first serious autograph collectors, and other collectors knew him to have one of the largest in-person signed collections in the world. The great care taken by Mr. Thomas in building his collection shows in its quality and its quantity. There are more than 15,000 autographs ranging from the late 1960s through the late 1980s -- from Toe Blake to Brett Hull, with just about everyone in between.

The IceBox is proud to have acquired this collection and to give our customers a chance to both see these amazing pieces and purchase their choice of them. For more information about the collection or to ask about a specific player or piece, email us at hittheicebox@gmail.com.
