Filling the skates of the legendary Georges Vezina after the superstar passed in the mid-1920s, George Hainsworth secured a trio of consecutive Vezina Trophies during the latter part of the decade with Montreal. The Toronto native would join his hometown Leafs for parts of four seasons beginning in 1933-34, with his single-season shutout record of 22 secure for the ages. This original photo of the legendary keeper has been encapsulated by PSA and deemed a Type I and graded "Authentic". At approx 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" and taken by Batten Limited, the 1920s image pictures Hainsworth in his Canadiens sweater with full gear. There is a Batten stamp on the reverse along with "Hainsworth" handwritten. There are what appears to be two minor bend lines to the photo on the front. Century old photos of HOFers are extremely rare, and some of the most coveted items in the hobby. An LOA from PSA will accompany.
