When Bobby Hull left the Chicago Blackhawks in 1972, he was signed by the Winnipeg Jets of the World Hockey Association (WHA) for a groundbreaking contract worth $1 million. This move marked a significant moment in hockey history, as it was one of the first times a player received such a large salary, paving the way for future contracts in professional sports. Hull's signing was instrumental in boosting the profile of the WHA and attracting other NHL players to the league.

What is a pictured signed by bobby richardson worth?

A Bobby Richardson signed 8 x 10 photo is worth about $30.-$40. Price will vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Part of the value will be determined by how well the photo displays the signature, the type of ink used, and how it stands out in contrast to the photograph. Sharpie would be most preferred for a photo. Larger, and more desired photos will sell for more. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.
