The 2009 Montreal Centennial Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/24/2009
A spell-binding photo of a toque-wearing, teenage Jacques Plante pictures the futureHall-of-Famer in his Quebec Citadelle uniform and includes a coveted early Plante fountain pen autograph wow! With the Merry Christmas and Happy New Year wishes in French, the real photo was trimmed-down at some point to postcard-size (3-1/2 x 5-1/2) and even includes Plante handwriting on the back, along with another signature. Part of the message to an adoring mademoiselle fan and signature are covered by paper following removal from a scrapbook, but the gist of the message comes across as: thanks for the best wishes and its a pleasure to send you one of my photos. Photo has multiple creases but so what(!), and is joined by a 1950s Canadiens postcard (EX+) that includes a perfect blue ballpoint autograph, along with a Duval Motors Ltd. stamp in the lower portion. Two beauties for Plante admirers to pursue!
