10-11 Limited Brett Hull Auto /49

In my opinion, Brett Hull is the greatest goal-scorer I have ever seen. I am old enough to have seen Gretzky and many others play, but since my watching days began at the age of 8 in 1987, I have never seen anyone as prolific or skilled at scoring goals than Brett Hull. I think it would have been interesting if the NHL's 3rd all-time leading goal scorer would have been born a few years earlier and had a few more seasons in the 80's instead of a few in the 00's. 

Brett's career includes 2 Cups, 741 goals, 650 assists and 1291 points. He also was a three-time first team all-star, he played in 8 all-star games and is 8th all-time in career goals per game with a 0.58 average which is fittingly enough, 0.01 goals per game higher than 9th place Bobby Hull. His 86 goal season will always stand-out in my mind as one of the most phenomenal performances I have seen. Brett was inducted into the HOF in 2009 which I believe was his first year of eligibility.

This is my only Brett Hull auto. I tried getting him to sign TTM which I heard he did regularly, but to this point I have received nothing back. Still, this is a decent copy which features a clear blue sharpie auto on sticker technology. I have several Bobby Hull autos and someday I will likely feature each in a two-card screw down if I ever manage to get a second Brett Hull auto.

Kevin Shattenkirk is another example of a non-Canadian prospect playing for a small market American team. Add all those components together and you get a player who can put up some serious numbers in the NHL and can be found for dirt cheap when it comes to memorabilia cards and autos.

Back to back 43 points seasons for this 23 year old have meant some pretty high expectations, but playing in St. Louis means that he isn't answering 2 million questions for each puck he might turnover. As much as I would love to see him get the attention he deserves playing for a bigger market or Canadian team, it is nice to see him fly under the radar and put together an NHL career that might rival Mark Howe's offensive numbers.

I picked this one up as a buy it now or best offer and the seller was super awesome and seemed to like negotiating! In the end I landed it for a great deal and I think he threw a couple random cards in with it!
