Regarded by many to this day as the greatest hockey player to ever lace up a pair of skates, the name Gordie Howe is synonymous with the game loved and played by so many across the world. In a career that spanned over five different decades from 1946-71 and 1973-80, fans and players alike will still find Howe’s name near the top of the all-time leaderboards all these years later. Also still one of the most collectable and collected players in the hobby, offered here is this pair of autograph cards both featuring the instantly recognizable signature of Gordie Howe. Both sporting images of Howe during his days in the National Hockey League as a member of the Detroit Red Wings, the cards hail from the 2001-02 UD SP Authentic (a buyback from 1999-00 Upper Deck Century with a hologram affixed to the reverse that is accompanied by a matching COA) and 2000-01 Upper Deck Heroes releases as part of their "Sporting News Top 50 Players" and "Signs of Greatness subsets. Both having been signed by Howe with blue marker ink signatures that display without issue, each autograph is accompanied by Howe's famed "Mr. Hockey" inscription in matching blue marker ink that shows in the same condition as the autographs themselves. With the buyback card sporting a "3/3" hand done serial number in the same ink as the autograph, both of the highly desirable cards remain in excellent condition with just light wear to the edges, corners and surfaces that are worth noting for accuracy.
