Default Gordie Howe RIP

One of the best to ever lace up a pair of skates is gone. Condolences to the Howe family. "Elbows" played in a different era than Gretzky so I've always thought him to be the better of the two.

Gretzky's views/thoughts on Gordie Howe. He was Gretzky's childhood hero.

Gretzky was great, but Gordie was the greatest. For 15 years, he was the best player in the most competitive era of the world's toughest team sport -- the ultimate combination of sublime physical skills, brute strength and cold-blooded tenacity. The opposition genuinely feared him. Not to take anything away from Gretzky, but his inflated numbers were achieved during the game's most diluted era and he spent the bulk of his career surrounded by bodyguards, allowing him to work his magic unmolested. For my money, the top 10 all-time are as follows: Howe; Bobby Orr; Gretzky; Mario Lemieux; Patrick Roy; Maurice Richard; Jean Beliveau; Terry Sawchuk; Bobby Hull; Larry Robinson.

I agree. No one went near him or they paid for it!

Great choices as well.

Is that a personally signed Beehive?

I don't see his named spelled out like mine but maybe that's a different variation?

No, it is a JD McCarthy PC or mail reply card. Same base photo, I think. The Beehive image is also found on the 'Exhibit' card issued in Canada, which leads me to believe they bootlegged the Beehive to create it:



Same image is also his 1951 Parkhurst.

What year is the Beehive?

I can only tell you, as it's a series 1 card, that they were produced between 1934 and 1944.

I would also like to know exactly what year the pic was taken?
