The name and address of Paul Hoffman has meaning on the back as he was a team member of John on the Washington Caps at the time. Somehow he must of been given these photos during the Bowman release.

Here's the best part of the story - John here is my step-fathers dad. I will be freeing the Bowman from the slab here and putting a very neat framed Christmas package together with these two for my Dad, and that makes this worth a million.
Nice, Justin - very cool items and great story!

Cheers,
