Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Description: Rare is generally overused but is applicable to this case. Real Lemieux played 20 games for the Kings during the 1973-74 season before being traded to the New York Rangers for 8 games and finished his career with 11 games in Buffalo before being cut and disappearing to Quebec where he died from a blood clot while working for a steel company. When he was alive he would only sign a card if he was on that team at the time. Therefore, because his last game with the Los Angeles Kings was November 29, 1973 and the card set was issued in early November, the window of opportunity to obtain this autograph was small indeed. The original owner, from Bloomington, Minnesota, opened packs two days before the game against the Minnesota North Stars, on November 7, 1973 and obtained this blue ballpoint pen signature in person in the presence of Real Lemieux himself. The autograph would grade high and the card itself is a very nice. Quite possibly the only surviving example and absolutely the finest known.
