The only NHL goaltender in history to captain his team to a Stanley Cup championship, Charlie Gardiner was instrumental in the success of the Chicago Black Hawks, earning a pair of Vezina trophies along with four All-Star selections in just seven seasons before passing away after leading the club to the promise land in 1934. As such, Gardiner's signature is extremely rare and one of the most sought for all Hall of Fame members. We offer a team picture of the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Black Hawks signed by Gardiner. At 8 1/2" x 11 and on thinner stock - similar to the CCM coloured border series, the image shows the full club in the traditional team photo, with Gardiner signing beneath his image, with the large blue ink signature displaying beautifully. The picture itself shows some wear including a few small edge tears along with a small area of paper loss within the upper left corner. These minor imperfections would be hidden beneath the matting if the picture was framed. One of the nicer examples we have ever seen, especially considering the choice Stanley Cup champs image. An LOA from Classic Auctions will accompany.
