Wonderful collection of Maurice Richard signatures and vintage 1950s Richard scrapbooks include a few other autograph surprises. A red binder houses the autographed pieces, including a gorgeous photo card for the newly-minted Maurice Richard Trophy which the Rocket signed in gold paint pen. Wayne Gretzky signed on the Richard Trophy page of a 1999 NHL Awards program along with the trophy's inaugural winner, who wrote: "Thanks for the great trophy! 1999 Teemu Selanne 8". Ken Dryden and Jacques Martin signed another program on the same page. John Wooden, Jesse Owens, Satchel Paige and Johnny Weissmuller are among eight legends who signed a caricature page from a sports dinner where they were guests of honor along with the Rocket. Maurice signed in blue marker at the top of a 1999 magazine article about the Richard Trophy as well as two press release folders and copies of a pair of 1999 press releases. His gold paint pen autograph adorns both the inside of an invitation to the 1999 premiere of the "The Maurice Rocket Richard Story" as well as a guest pass to the short film's wrap party. Also featured are six vintage scrapbooks from the 1950s centering on Richard's heroic exploits with the Montreal Canadiens. Hockey historians will enjoy hours and hours of reading and research opportunities in these pages filled with English and French newspaper and magazine clippings featuring countless vintage hockey photos.
