Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ My 2006 to present Hockey TTM succeesses, who I got back and when

[JasonS]

Three more today.

Ted Lindsey NHL HOF on a parkie repro plus he sent a cool signed flyer with his biography on it.

Bob Suave ex-buffalo goalie c/o his business address in Canada

Phil Housley signed a rookie card c/o his home address.

All of these took less than 3 weeks.

[JasonS]

Great day today. I got 4 back and all are Hall of Famers! I think they all took less than a month too.

Paul Coffey c/o his Toyota dealership

Milt Schmidt c/o home

Harry Howell c/o home

Norm Ullmann c/o home

[gregorium]

Looking good! Congrats on the great successes so far!

[JasonS]

I got back 2 signed Vincent Damphousse SJ Sharks cards today sent c/o his home address.

I also got back a signed card from ex-SF Giants (and other teams) pitcher Mike Krukow. It took about 8 months to get back and was signed with a ball point pen. He is the best radio/tv color guy in baseball! Soooo funny

I also got the sweet signed Henri Richard card from Greg. Smooth deal.

On a side note, I bought 5 unopened packs of 81-82 Topps hockey cards off eBay. I ripped those bad boys open ASAP and pulled some nice cards. Gretzky, Gretzky scoring leader card, Jarri Kuri RC, Bill Barber, Bernie Federko, and lots of other HOF'ers. I am sending out about 20 cards in total with autograph requests using star-collectors list. Lets see how many come back....

[gregorium]

Try Barber c/o the Lightning. I've had success there.

[JasonS]

Thanks. I have sent of a card to him c/ the Lightning.

I got NHL HOF'er Joey Mullen today after a short 2 week wait. c/o the Philadelphia Phantoms.

[JasonS]

Guy Lafleur c/o home address. 3 weeks

[JasonS]

HOF'er Elmer Lach 3 weeks c/o home address. Signed my card and sent 3 other Molsen Beer cards signed too!

Steve Larmer c/o home address in about 2 weeks.

Here is the great thing about hockey; even Hall of Fame players take time to sign cards for fans and they almost never charge money.

[gregorium]

Tell me about it! I started out with hockey, so have been a little spoiled. I was a little dismayed when I tried to branch out to other sports and found out the number of HOFers from other sports that charge money for TTM autos!

I also lucked out once with Elmer. He signed my cards, sent a couple of Molson cards and also included two signed passes to visit the HHOF as his guest! Class act all the way!

[JasonS]

Don Marshall signed a Parkhurst reprint for me c/o his home address in about a month. Not a hall of famer, but played with a lot of them in the early 50's. Hell of a player and a nice signer too.

I also got a signed photo from actress Doris Day. She starred in classic films like Pillow Talk. She was a favorite of my Grandmother. Snt her an email request via her web site.

[JasonS]

3 in the mail yesterday. Just when i thought I hit the wall for getting back any active players I get back one active player..

Shane Morrison c/o the Washington Capitals sent 01/05/07 - Rec 03/22/07

John Ferguson 11/?/06 - 3/22/07 c/o SJ Sharks. Postmarked St Petersburg FL.

Brad McCrimmon c/o Atl Thashers 11/?/06 - 3/22/07

I wish I had a scanner and time to post pictures, but I don't. If anyone wants to see a certain autograph I listed - let me know and I will try and post a photo.

[JasonS]

3 more in the mail today. Regretfully one was a RTS.

Tom Lysiak sent c/o home RTS.

Perry Turnbull signed a card c/o home address 3/1/7 - 3/23/7

Joe Reekie signed 2 cards c/o home address 3/9/7 - 3/23/7

I sent out over 30 requests for retired players at the start of this month, they are starting to roll in.

[JasonS]

Two today. Both Hall of Famers in about a month (I lost my data sheet of time sent)

Dave Keon c/o home address signed in ball point a Heroes and Prospects card

Mike Gartner c/o NHLPA in blue sharpie. Looks sweet!

[JasonS]

Three more in the mail today. All mailed out on 3/9/07 all received 3/26/07

Mike Murphy c/o home address

Bill Barber HOF'er c/o Tampa Bay Lightning signed 2 cards for me.

Dale Hunter c/o his business

I was impressed with the speed that these came back. 2 from Canada and one from Florida in 17 days!

[gregorium]

Good stuff! Keep 'em coming!

[JasonS]

Good stuff!  Keep 'em coming!

I'll try, but some players don't like to sign. I find it odd that some big name stars and future Hall of Famers will sign TTM (like Chelios, Brind'Amour, Modano), but not low level players like Scott Hannan of SJ.

I know some guys like Joe Thornton or Crosby get tons of mail, so I am not surprised when I don't get anything from them (but I try anyway because you never know). I will post my failures after the season and playoffs are over. It is not a very long list and most of the names won't be a shock as to who I didn't get an autograph from.

Thanks Jason. That information's as useful as the contact addresses themselves.

[JasonS]

You guys may have noticed that I have not posted players contact info. I have used the addresses found here and at Star-Collector.net. No big reason why I don't other than I am lazy.

If there is a player who I got an autograph from and you can't find the address, let me know and I will try and help.

Garth Butcher personalized a card c/o home address 3/9/07 - 3/27/07 (gotta love that name)

Tom Johnson HOFer c/o home address 2 months.

Alot of these cards ,like Garth Butchers, are from the '91 Score set. These cards take an autograph well, are cheap as dirt, and have lots of star players from that decade.

[JasonS]

Just one today, but it is a good one!

Alex Delvecchio signed a parkhurst insert card in 2 weeks.

This was at first a RTS because I sent it to his old home address. I resent it c/o Delvecchio Enterpises and got it signed.

[gregorium]

Nice! Alex has great looking signature too!

BTW, stamps are on the way!
