Hi,
I've been away for a while, but wanted to share my successes as I recently sent out my first batch of requests for 2011 (pretty late, I know!).
I've had my first success today, from a tried and true TTM superstar:
Henri Richard -13 days
905-4300 Place Des Cageaux, Laval, QC H7W 4Z3
4/2
To view some of my past successes, please go http://www.tradingcardcentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=117203&st=0 and http://www.tradingcardcentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38735.
Sent the 8X10 and a card, he added the extra Stanley Cup items.
Very nice!
Congratulations and it's good to see you back
on our boards.
Collect Hard!,
RGBII
Congrats on the success! Look forward to seeing more! Keep sending em out!
Justin
Nice return from the pocket rocket and welcome back!
Welcome back to the wonderful world of ttm! Good luck!
Thanks for the warm welcome back!
I got my second success today:
Phil Goyette - 15 days
815 38th avenue, Lachine, QC H8T 2C4
Signed 3 and added a 4th
Harry Howell - 27days
401-49 Robinson St. Hamilton, ON L8P 1Y7
Signed 2 of 2
I also has a couple of recent In Person successes. A buddy and I did a road trip to catch the Red Wings and Blackhawks season ending home and home series. While at the game in Detroit on April 8, Ted lindsay was on the concourse signing his book:
Then the next day, while waiting for pizza in Chicago, just outside of Giordano's on Rush Street, we bumped into none other than Mr.T:
(I only had a Hawks pocket Schedule on me that I had picked up earlier in the day.)
Thats awesome! Looks like you had a good time!
Awesome successes! Mr. T! How does it get better than that!
Justin
I pity the fool that isn't impressed by Mr. T!
To top it off, I finally was in attendance for a Wings win, my first in 30 years! Their win in Chicago was the first time in about a dozen Wings games that I've attended where it finally happened. It's been frustrating, especially considering that my first Wings game was circa 1980 when Gretzky and the Oilers came to the Joe Louis Arena.
Congrats on your recent successes!
Nice additions, although Terrible Ted just isn't the same wearing the Hawks sweater...
It was for my friend who has the Blackhawk Flu. Unfortunately, its a terminal case for him.

Failures stink but what can you do! You gonna resend with $$$? Congrats on the success!
Justin
Nice success. Is $10 reasonable for Perreault? Just asking because I really don't know.....
I have a hard time paying for an autograph through the mail. I can rationalize it if it's in person, but can't really do it TTM.
That Illitch is sweet, congrats!
Thank you sir! It was my second attempt, so happy to see it. Another Red Wing HOFer in the collection!
Another arrival today:
Dan Bylsma - 15 days

Those cards look REALLY nice signed.
I love it when they sign with silver sharpies! Congrats on the success!
Justin
Thanks guys. I hate when they try to sign it in blue or black on the front. I'm happy to just have them sign the back of the card, but love when they come through with the silver like this.

Like those scans, good to see you getting some returns.
Mailbox has been dry. Only thing in it is cobwebs.
On the plus side, my wife hooked me up with a Living Social deal this past weekend. It was for VIP access to the Legends Classic game (part of the HHOF weekend) and exclusive after-party. For those who don't know, the Legends Classic is the basically the Oldtimers game where the inductees are presented with their HHOF blazers and then later come out and join the others on the ice.
Anyway, it started with meeting 60 goal man Dennis Maruk during the intermission.

Also during the intermission, I met Paul Rosen, gold medal parathlete from the Canadian Sledge hockey team.
The real fun, though, started after the game at the after party. Met, chatted and had some "pops" with some greats.

Some of those I met were Michel Goulet, Wayne Primeau, Dave Hutchison, and Theo Fleury.
