Autographed Cards A-Z Hockey Edition H

When I got back into collecting five or so years ago one of the things that excited me was the availability of autographed cards.  Perhaps I went a little overboard but I think I picked up some nice cards.  This will be an A-Z series of posts with varying numbers of cards.

I'll probably never get  a Wayne Gretzky autograph but I have this card featuring two Hall of Famers that played with him.
