I'm not sure this is the textbook method for screening the goaltender, but it certainly makes for an interesting hockey card:
I've been after one of these Parkhurst Champions wire photo autographs since they hit the market back in 2011, but apparently I'm not the only one who's a fan, as they sell for a pretty penny to this day. Recently, the above Ted Lindsay finally fell into my price range ($25 or less) after all these years.
As far as photographs go, it doesn't get a whole lot better than this one. Aside from Lindsay, you've got some of the game's all-time greats mixing it up here. My one gripe would be that the autograph, particularly the last name, is a bit hard to see on the dark background. At least it's on card though, which means the HOFer held this very piece of cardboard at one point in time. I wonder what crossed his mind when he saw his former self in mid-air like this?
Maybe not the best autograph in my collection, but certainly one of the more interesting images...

When it comes to blogging... my timing is terrible. I'll see things on ESPN
or on other blogs that inspire a post, but I don't have scans ready to go.
On...
