One of the NHL’s legendary innovators as the first to regularly wear and develop the goal mask, Jacques Plante was also instrumental in helping to evolve the goaltending position itself, with his forays from the crease chasing loose pucks now commonplace amongst netminders. One of the most desirable of all Original Six signatures, we have a copy of “The Jacques Plante Story” with a signed picture glued in from the iconic Hall of Fame member. At 5 ½” x 8 ¼”, the 161-page hardcover feature’s the original dust jacket picturing Plante in his Leafs finery, with the magazine picture glued to the first page signed in ballpoint with personalization, with this a mid-1950s example of his autograph, and it displays nicely. The book itself exhibits just light wear, while the dust jacket - which is glued to the top of the spine, shows marks and wear with some water soiling.
