A snapshot of Chicago hockey

The reverse describes Hull as the “Golden Jet” and highlights his scoring threat, MVP recognition, Lady Byng award and all-star status.

Condition and holder notes

The photographs show the specific encapsulated card offered. Review both images for centering, corners, edges and surface appearance. Visible scuffs and scratches on the holder, particularly on the reverse, should be considered separately from the card's grade. SGC's numerical grade is its assessment of the card and does not imply a scratch-free holder. The card is offered in the holder shown.
