Getting a Handle on my Rocket Collection....

[holygoalie]

Always been a fan of the man, the legend, Maurice 'The Rocket' Richard. Been fortunate to have met him a few times and along with Jean Beliveau I have made them both cornerstones of my collection. I recently was fortunate enough to acquire a piece to add to my Rocket collection that just puts the cherry on top of it. So without further adieu a few Rocket pieces to lead up to that cherry on top. Thank you Curt for making it happen!

Just a few of the many pieces I have...and the cherry on top....


:whatthehell::whatthehell::whatthehell:

Special thanks to Curt (GabbyGuy) for letting this go and working out a deal with me for this, much appreciated amigo!


....now I have to find something Rocket related to add to the collection that tops that.... :crazy:

That's incredible. Fun historical fact - today in 1952 was the famous goal that inspired this photo:

Oh man, I have that pic all framed up!! And no wall-space to hang it anywhere

That story is what separates the Richards from the Crosbys eh??

 

[RGM81]

Inter alia, yes. LOL

Actually I couldn't agree more. He worked with me on this deal and made it easy to secure. I think I have been trading with Curt for 10 years now starting with our first Barilko for Lecavalier trade and it has been nothing but class and great trades since. I tip my hat to you amigo! :beer:

 

[GabbyGuy]

It is a good day when a card like that finds its way to the home it belongs in.
Well played Keith
