Gordie Howe Rookie Picture

[wondo]

I just got my Gordioe howe rookie back from SGC nd now have it paired with the picture below. The photo is a Turofsky from 1948. I think it's really cool!

Very neat John. I do the same thing with baseball photos and cards. I probably am up to approximately 25 photos that were used to make cards. Nicely done!!

Awesome x 2! Love the vintage sig on that picture as well, and the "loads of luck" inscription -- sounds like something a hockey player from Canada would say. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic on both counts! That is one sharp Howe RC .

He used to own a restaurant right up the street and his son Mark still lives here, I just missed him at the little hardware store by a few minutes. The kid was all excited and asked me if I knew who Gordie Howe was, I said well you know Wayne Gretzky was better but if you are talking about Mr. Hockey then yes I know who is is !! Nice card and pic what a combo !!
