A card (Morenz) and a photo (Conacher), both beaters but new to me.

And two more recent photos (1950 and 59, I think).

Nice pick ups, Frank.

That Plante pic brings back memories of the pics I seen of Sawchuk.

Man, Sawchuk was awesome. And what a mug!

I believe the Plante picture was from the game in '59 where a puck broke his nose and he went to the locker room, grabbed a mask he used in practice, and wore it onto the ice. Although there had been a few leather fittings here and there over the year, it was essentially the birth of the mask in pro hockey. If I remember it correctly....
