He had 456 goals and 945 points (in 813 games) with the Québec Nordiques alone, numbers likely to have gotten him in the Hall Of Fame by themselves, but factor in the other 207 in 276 games with the Chicago Blackhawks for a grand total of 1152 points in 1089 regular-season NHL games and he was a shoe-in as one of the greatest of all time.
I was happy to get him to sign some cards of himself with Chicago, as my only previous collectible of him as a Hawk was this jersey card. It's a bit weird that one of the cards doesn't picture him with his signature mustache (he shaved it off in what became his final season):
All three cards show him wearing the team's red (away) uniform. On the left is card #430 from Pro Set's 1990-91 Series 2 collection; in the middle is card #50 from Pro Set's 1991-92 Series 1 set (the French Canadian Version); and the card at the right is from Leaf's 1993-94 Series 2 set (card #373).
