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 trio of autograph cards all featuring the instantly recognizable signature of Gordie Howe. All acetate offerings that sport images of Howe during his days in the National Hockey League as a member of the Detroit Red Wings, the cards hail from the 2003-04 Upper Deck Ice, 2005-06 Upper Deck Trilogy and 2006-07 Upper Deck Trilogy releases as part of their "Under Glass", "Frozen in Time" and "IceScripts" autograph subsets. All having been signed by Howe with blue marker ink signatures that display without issue despite some evidence of Howe's age from area of shakiness, each autograph is accompanied by Howe's famed "Mr. Hockey" inscription in matching blue marker ink that shows in the same condition as the autographs themselves. With the card from 2005-06 sporting a serial number reading "03/10", all three (3) cards, highly desirable examples, remain in excellent condition with just light wear to the edges, corners and surfaces that are worth noting for accuracy.
