No stranger to milestones and still the holder of 15 various National Hockey League and Detroit Red Wings records, Gordie Howe became a front runner in most categories over the course of his career, once holding the well-known all-time goals and points records before being triumphed by Wayne Gretzky. Featured here is a lot of five signed photographs that capture some of “Mr Hockey’s” career goals/points milestones. Moments featured include: Registering 1000 career points (x2), tying Maurice Richards all-time goal record of 544, claiming the all-time goals record with #545, and scoring his 600th career goal. The photos depicting Howe’s 1000th career point measure out to 11” x 14” and 16” x 20” with the first mentioned being a colour variation. Both have been signed by Howe in blue with the colour photo having the added inscriptions of “Mr. Hockey” and “1000 Points”. The photograph depicting Howe’s 545th career goal is a 16” x 20” action shot of Howe potting the goal against Charlie Hodge of the Montreal Canadiens. Signed in blue ink with the added inscriptions of “Mr. Hockey” and “My 545th of 1071 goals”. The last two photos are dressing room post-game shots depicting Howe after scoring goals 544 and 600 of his career. Both shots measure out to 16” x 20” with the photo depicting Howe’s 544th goal having his famous “Mr. Hockey” inscription and the photo depicting his 600th goal being inscribed with “Goal #600”. All of the photos display incredibly well with no flaws whatsoever and each showcase the fine signature of the Mr. Hockey elegantly. The photos remain ready for framing and a place in your collection.
