Another HOF sub-toonie treasure.

My loot package needs to wait a bit longer since I have had no time to scan all the cards and I really want to do that post properly. At the same time, I don't want my blog to get stagnant  like it did in the summer. 

Who doesn't love Lucky Luc? Ok, there might be a few people but I am not one of them. I have his rookie and his auto and now his game used card. So another HOF Trifecta in the books. While it isn't my intention of doing that with every player I will try when the opportunity presents itself like this one. 

White swatch and high print run are keys to low prices. I will make a post in the future featuring the trio of cards together but in the meantime, here is the third piece.

Here is the second of a few consecutive posts on deals I have made with Casey from The House of Oglethorpe. This one is featuring an amazing autograph of Hall of Fame player Steve Shutt. While I don't have his rookie card yet, I know I need his auto for my Hall of Fame PC so this card is an excellent addition to the collection.

Great autograph and an even nicer photo. I love the helmetless look from the old days and the framed canvas look gives the card a much cooler (almost museum) look. The signature is just fantastic and in some ways I wish more players had beautiful penmanship like Steve. While Steve didn't have the longest NHL career, he did win 5 Stanley Cups and had 30+ goals in 9 of his 13 NHL seasons. Included in those seasons was one where he set the NHL record for most goals by a LW (60 goals). That record eventually was topped by the NHL all-time leading scorer at LW, Luc Robitaille who had 63 in 1993. Alex Ovechkin bettered that record by two in 2008.
