A sad day for the hockey community for sure! He was a true legend of the game and great to his fans. I dont have much stuff of Beliveau but i had the pleasure of getting a couple cards, i made, signed through the mail by him last year. I sent one of them to a Montreal collector as part of a Secret Santa present but the other will be in my collection for a loong time.

Amazing show Ed, such variety! I'm sad that I never got a chance to see Le Gros Bill play, one day I'll have to go back and watch some classic games to truly appreciate him. But I'm so glad for Lord Stanley's Mug, this set allowed me to put together so many cards of some of the true greats of the game, and Beliveau was featured prominently. There's probably no card I want to find more than his Mega Patch (if anyone has seen it, please let me know), but I believe I have everything else of his...
The base and History...
An auto from every year he won the cup as a player (7 more times as an executive afterwards!)
A variety of game worn pieces - really love the Legendary and Conn Smythe cards of his featuring dual-coloured swatches, so cool he was the first recipient of the Conn Smythe trophy!
And finally he made a number of appearances in the Decades expo subset...

Great thread.
And the best one of all, with free story.
I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Beliveau in the summer of 2008. He was a special guest for an autograph session in Halifax. Hundreds of people came to meet him. I was so nervous to meet him but he made me feel at ease very quickly. We chatted briefly as he signed photos for myself and my grandmother, who absolutely adored him as a player with the Canadiens. He thanked me for coming to see him--imagine that! I'm over the moon to meet one of the greatest players ever, and he's thanking me. That's just such a special piece of who he was. He was truly larger than life, and the memory of that experience will last with me for a long time.
RIP Le Gros BillHabs fan and collector! Main PC's: Carey Price, Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovsky, and of course...
