Canada1997-Series of the Century Bklt signed Paul Henderson & Ken Dryden Unique!

Description

In the late fall 1997, an unfolded miniature sheet of the "Series of the Century"  with Paul Henderson's signature on it, was included in a gift box with a poster, puck & jersey.  It was promoted as a Christmas gift for Hockey fans. Only about 15,000 were produced without the philatelic branch being made aware of this variety. Most ended up with the general public. Today these regular gift box sheets catalogue for 0.00 #1660a.
In the spring of 1998, I was personally invited by Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson to attend a business luncheon at City Hall, where Ken Dryden was the guest speaker. I was told as were the other guests, that Ken Dryden would be signing copies of his new book after the luncheon. I bought along my Henderson overprinted Miniature Sheet in the hopes that Ken might sign it; considering he was Canada's goaltender for the "72 series with Russia".
There were about 300 guests at the luncheon and after Ken spoke, there formed a long line of people wishing to meet Ken and some asking him to sign their own copy of the book. As I waited in line, I got very nervous. When Jim Watson finally introduced me, I asked Ken if he knew about the "Henderson Overprint" He said he did and signed my stamps at the top. I was shaking & perspiring so much, after talking to him, that you will notice a slight smudge above his signature, that is my fingerprint!  This miniature sheet is absolutely unique!
