Signature Sundays - The Art of the Screen

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...
