Presented is a 1975-76 World Hockey Association (WHA) All Star Game program signed by Hall of Famers Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull. The WHA lasted from 1972-79 and competed with the NHL. Often paying larger salaries than did the NHL, the WHA took 67 of the NHL's players in the new league's first season. Gordie Howe, a right wing, played 25 seasons for the Detroit Red Wings and later played in the WHA, playing on the same squads with his two sons - Mark and Marty - on the Houston Aeros and the New England Whalers. Bobby Hull, the left wing with the rocket like slap shot, signed with a 10-year, 2.75-million-dollar contract with the Winnipeg Jets, a record at the time. Gordie Howe scored 801 NHL goals and Bobby Hull had 741 NHL tallies, so getting top names like Howe and Hull was a coup for the WHA.

The WHA All Star Game program measures 8.25x11.25", and it contains 56 pages. Both Howe and Hull signed in blue ballpoint ink. The program has a slight vertical fold on the front, but the program is overall EXCELLENT, and the signatures on the front cover are vintage and 8/10.
