Dennis Hull

Dennis Hull

Retired player.

Purchased at a card shop in December 2010.

I've always loved this card. The green border contrasts nicely with the red Blackhawks sweater. The "shield shape" that surrounds the photo is fitting for an All-Star card. The yellow is striking, and Hull is looking up, almost--but not quite--back at the viewer. This is a shining example of a great 1970s card.

Another cool thing about this card--nicely signed in blue Sharpie marker--is where it is signed. Notice that Hull filled the empty space to the right with his signature. Perfect!
