More Difficult Bruins Auto's.

 So, I thought I would show more tougher Bruins Autographs. These players are not well known and that is due to their short time with the Boston Bruins as I will discuss each player. The first player is Paul Gladu he played in the 1944-45 Season appearing in 40 games at the age of 23. He scored 6 goals and added 14 assists for 20 points and in those days that was not too bad. He appeared in the playoffs during the 1944-45 season appearing in 7 games and scoring 2 goals and two assists for 4 points. He was a rugged left winger, but he never played another NHL game as he finished his career playing in the minor leagues.

His autograph is not very flashy as many players from that era had what I call flamboyant auto's. As his appears to be a bit plain but I will add that it is much easier to read than most of the current NHL'ers. Paul passed away on February 1, 2015, at the age of 93.

Orval Tessier played two seasons for the Boston Bruins his first season was the 1955-56 season in which he scored 2 goals and 3 assists for 5 points in 23 games. He would be sent down to play in the minors and came back to play his final NHL season during the 1960-61 season where he appeared in 32 games scoring 3 goals and adding 4 assists for 7 points. His autograph is flashier than Gladu's auto as he uses more of a sweeping flow. Tessier is a very difficult autograph to acquire through the mail as I got back several RTS (Return to Sender). I was lucky to find this one as his autograph is tough to locate but well worth it when you acquire one.

Bob Ring is a mediocre autograph as to how tough it is to acquire, and he was a one game wonder appearing in one game for injured Bruins Goalie Eddie Johnston. He allowed 4 goals on 21 shots as the Bruins lost to the New York Rangers 8-2. He never played another NHL game as his 33 minutes in net would be all in his short career. As for his autograph as I have seen three different ones, I will add that they are all identical and this autograph he even wrote his jersey number and team name. Bob Ring passed away on June 22, 2017, at the age of 70.

Barry Wilkins played 3 seasons for the Boston Bruins appearing in 8 games and in the 8 games he added one assist. He went on to play for Vancouver, Pittsburgh and then two seasons in the WHA for the Edmonton Oilers and Indianapolis Racers. His autograph is identical as I have seen only 4 total and they appear identical. Barry Wilkins passed away on June 26, 2011, at the age of 64.

Of the four autographs I will say that the toughest would be Gladu, Ring, Tessier and Wilkins. Tessier has the flashier auto and of these four is my favorite.
