Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction April 2024

Regarded by many to this day as the greatest hockey player to ever lace up a pair of skates, the name Gordie Howe is synonymous with the game loved and played by so many across the world. In a career that spanned over five different decades from 1946-71 and 1973-80, fans and players alike will still find Howe’s name near the top of the all-time leaderboards all these years later. Also still one of the most collectable and collected players in the hobby, offered here is this quintet of buyback cards that was interested into packs of Upper Deck's 2004-05 SP Legendary Signatures product. All autograph cards that have been signed by Howe over the fronts that are also accompanied by Upper Deck COA's that match the holograms that have been affixed to the lower reverses, the list of cards includes offerings from 2000-01 UD Legends "Enshrined Stars" (hand serial numbered "1/1"), 2002-03 UD Piece of History "Seasons to Remember" (hand serial numbered "1/1"), 2000-01 UD Legends (hand serial numbered "1/2"), 2001-02 UD Legends (hand serial numbered "3/3") and 2001-02 UD Legends "USHL All-Star Game" (hand serial numbered "3/5"). With all the hand done serial numbered penned in blue marker ink that displays without issue, each card has been signed by Howe with his instantly recognizable signature over the front in matching ink that displays in the same condition, with the legend also having added his famed "Mr. Hockey" annotation to each autograph/card as well. All highly desirable and remaining in excellent condition overall despite remaining in a raw ungraded form, it is worth noting for accuracy that light edge and corner wear is still observed throughout the group but not in a way that detracts from their overall eye appeal.
