These are the exact items you are bidding on. AJ Sports guarantees the authenticity of these signatures as well as any signature we offer for sale. Both items will come with an AJ Sports COA. These prints were issued by the Hockey Hall of Fame. This Limited Edition Print has been personally autographed by Stan Mikita, and Artist Doug West. The finished frame measures 18"x25". Mikita: This piece has been numbered in the Limited Edition 61 of 200. Both these prints are editions limited to 200 prints. Stan Mikita was one of the first great European hockey players to have excelled in the National Hockey League. He entered the NHL at age 18 with the Blackhawks, where he spent his entire 22 year career. Mikita was the first player to ever win the Art Ross, Hart and Lady Byng Trophies all in one single season (1966-67). Unbelievably, he repeated the same accomplishment the next year. Mikita also won the Art Ross Trophy on two other occasions, the Patrick Award and was selected as an All-Star eight times. Interestingly Mikita was the first to introduce the curved stick but the highlight of his career was his Stanley Cup victory in 1960-61. Gump: This finished frame measures 18"x25". Gump: This piece has been numbered in the Limited Edition 58 of 200. This Limited Edition Doug West lithograph features Montreal Canadiens goalie Gump Worsley, who has personally autographed the lithograph. The print measures 12.5" x 20", it comes custom framed. Lorne John "Gump" Worsley was given his nickname because his friends thought he looked like comic-strip character Andy Gump. He was signed to the New York Rangers in 1952 and though playing for a last place team, won the Calder Memorial Trophy as rookie of the year. In 1954 he took the goalie position away from future NHL star Johnny Bower.
