Charlie Hustle has signed a laminate featuring Brodeur's photos of his 4,000th hit the following year. Both are roughly 13 1/2" x 16" with another laminate of the Expos' 1987 home opener. Two massive 28 1/4" x 49" photos on pressboard feature a goalie mask montage and shots of a 1983 reunion of the 13 members of the 1950s Canadiens who won 5 straight Stanley Cups. A huge 22" x 50" original 1969 Expos team photo on cardboard backing has damaged edges but remains a historic piece. Brodeur has signed a 14x11 print of Bob Gainey and the Canadiens' 1979 Stanley Cup celebration which has his name stamped in the bottom left corner and is mounted on a foamboard backing. Patrick Roy is featured in seven of the 11 other 14x11 prints. Vintage shots of Guy Lafleur scoring at Boston Garden, Rusty Staub making a sliding catch and Bill Lee playing with a butterfly are among the other Brodeur originals offered here.
