Habs Fans....Need Some Help With Some Autos

[bamlinden]

Good evening.

For the past week I've been helping to collect and sort books for a charity book sale. I always enjoy seeing the cool stuff that comes in the door. Last year it was a sweet copy of Goaltending by Jacques Plante.....signed by the legend himself (and I'm happy to say it found a good home thanks to Hobby Insider) and this year I lucked out again....

Always, always, always.....check for signatures.

My eyes popped when I saw all this ink. The Toe Blake signature is especially nice.

Now, I'm trying to figure out who all the signers are. I feel like I can get about 3/4 of them but there are a couple I'm stumped with. I'm also wondering what a realistic price for something like this might go for (I've heard $150). Basically looking to help out the organization looking to sell this by giving them as much info as I can.

Any help would be appreciated and a huge thank you in advance for your time.

Very cool find, Brett. Should help the charity quite nicely.

I see Serge Savard, Bob Gainey, Steve Shutt, Denis Herron, Rejean Houle, Mario Tremblay, Pierre Mondou, Chris Nilan, Gaston Gingras, Claude Ruel, Mark Napier, Keith Acton, Yvonne Lambert & Pierre Larouche. Possible Larry Robinson and that top left looks a lot like Dick Irvin, which wouldn't be a stretch if Toe Blake is on there. There's also an old Hab vet Floyd Curry auto on there. Interesting that there doesn't seem to be a Lafleur sig. That's most of the rest of the 1979 or 1980 teams plus those 3 old timers. That's the authors auto on the bottom left.

Looks like Pete Mahovlich under the C in Canadiens. A quick signature but still looks a lot like his. -Mike

Its possible. But Pierre Larouche is on there, the guy he was traded for. I'm thinking its unlikely both are on there. If this is indeed from 79/80 timetable then Mahovlich had been gone from the team for a couple of seasons by that point. An early Doug Risebrough sig maybe?
