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. Ready to serve as centerpiece in even the most advanced HOF signature collection, we offer a period real photo postcard signed by the 1961 inductee, encapsulated and graded “Authentic Auto” by PSA/DNA. At the standard 3 ½” x 5 ½”, Hainsworth is depicted in a bust-length image in his Leafs wool, with his flawless dark ink signature placed beneath. The postal reverse is unused and clean, with what appears to be just light handling wear to the postcard itself, which survives in stunning condition. Hainsworth passed away in a head-on vehicle collision in 1950. Comparable in quality to the signed photo from the Hamlyn collection we sold in 2020 for just north of $2,000.00, this is without doubt one of the best signed Hainsworth items in the hobby.
