This is the earliest known professional hockey contract of a Hall-of-Famer ever sold at auction. It is the 1921-22 "rookie" contract of HOFer Herb Gardiner.
But something important was never noted when this item was offered at 2 separate auction houses...the contract is autographed by a second hockey HOFer at the top...Lloyd Turner, who was inducted in the HOF as a "builder" and was coined Calgary's "Mr. Hockey" in the early 20th century.

That contract is awesome. I know hockey won't get any love here, but that is really nice
