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

[JasonS]

It's like Christmas morning all over again!

Yea, but without the drunken in-laws and screaming kids. So this might be better.

[JasonS]

Ok, so I finally got those cards that were delivered to our old house. I can't post the time it took since I have no idea when they arrived back.

Shawn Horcoff signed a 06-07 Fleer card c/o the Oilers

Steve Yzerman signed a 92-93 UD card c/o the Red Wings (this was a real old request-came back on a .39 cent stampt too)

Jarret Stoll signed 3 Fleer cards (one regular, one ultra, and one ultra gold) c/o the Oilers.

Nice! is your Yzerman legit or a stamp?

[JasonS]

It doesn't look stamped, but it could be auto penned. I will try and post a photo this week.

[JasonS]

Here is the Yzerman I got.

[stlramman]

It doesnt look like a autopen to me. Compares well to one I got from him about 4 years ago. Looks real to me, cool success Jason.

[whalerfan]

Wow, congrats on that one! The auto looks legit as it has character in it; pressure points & variations. Get out and buy a lottery ticket...

[JasonS]

LOL, I should buy a lottery ticket Whalerfan, but I fear I may have used up all my luck getting back Yzerman.

[houkk]

It's a bit hard to tell. It looks like it can be the real deal. It is different from the autopen I got from him earlier in the year. They one thing that concerns me is the shakiness on the "S" in "Steve." Could be mechanical. Maybe not. Unless a new autopen example pops up that is identical to this, I would have to say it's real. Congrats, Jason!

[JasonS]

Eric Staal c/o his parents house 2/2 in 7 months time.

[JasonS]

Torre Mitchell signed a Victory rookie card c/o the San Jose Sharks.
28 days.

Bum deal that happened to him. He broke his fib and tib leg bones during a practice skate. Out for 8 weeks at least. He and Mike Grier are a penalty killing machine for the Sharks when paired together. Big loss for my favorite team.

[houkk]

Ouch! Sorry to hear about his injury, but that's a nice success, Jason!

[JasonS]

Big returns today. All of these were from last season or more and they all made it on short postage too.

It looks like Joe Thornton had some free time to catch up on his stack of mail! I finally got my cards back from him signed!

Joe Thonton signed 3/3 (2/2 from last year and 1/1 from 2006) c/o the San Jose Sharks. They took 1 year for the 2/2 (signed in blue ink) and 2 years for the 1/1 (signed in black ink). Totally worth the wait. Interesting to note that they weresigned in different ink, but I got them on the same day. He must have just sat down and just signed until pens ran dry and then did one big send out.

I also got Antoine Vermette c/o the Ottowa Senators signed 1/1 in 11 months

Justin Williams c/o the Carolina Hurricanes signed 1/1 in 23 months

I also sent email requests to all the teams for a fan pack. So far I got one from the Sabres that had a Ryan Miller magnet, schedule, sticker, and temp tattoo.

And one from the Predators that had two pocket schedules.

[northicehero99]

Nice TTMs that is cool.

[houkk]

Always nice to see a Thornton success! Also glad to see the Predators are sending out Fan Packs again. I guess the days of them sending out free pucks is long gone.

[JasonS]

Yeah, bummer about the free pucks not being offered anymore. Speaking of fan packs, I got two today.

The Wild sent me a BIG magnet schedule that you can remove the cnter panel of (that is the actual schedule) and then you have a magnetic picture frame for your fridge. Pretty neat.

The Bruins sent a pocket schedule and a nice looking bumper sticker. The bumper sticker is actually nice enough to make me consider putting it on our car even tho I am not a die hard Bruins fan.

[Bauldie]

I got a Bruins one back in August.. I'm not sure if it contained anything else cause Canada Post wrecked the package.. but it did have a nice Boston Bruins T-shirt which was pretty cool.

[JasonS]

You got a shirt? Dadgum, cool!

[JasonS]

Today brought a nice surprise. Two cards signed by players from my favorite team.

Marc-Edouard Vlassic signed a Hot Materials jersey card of his c/o the San Jose Sharks in 34 days. Card got really badly creased and bent some how, but envelope and letter returned fine. He also answered my questions of...
Who was your favorite player growing up? "Pavel Bure"
What do you eat before a game? "Penne Pasta / chicken"

Lucas Kasper signed a Victory rookie card c/o the San Jose Sharks in 34 days. Also answered my questions....
Who was your favorite player growing up? "Robert Reichel"
Do you play any other sports? "Tennis"

[JasonS]

4 fan packs today.
Canadians sent set of 4"x6" player cards and sweet looking bumper sticker.

Dallas Stars sent 4 player cards, felt pennant, Zubov magnet, and schedule.

Carolina Hurricanes sent schedule, set of player cards, and small bumper sticker.

Oilers sent 8x10 photo of Fernando Pisani, team logo magnet, temp tattoo, and 3 pocket schedules.
