I realize i havent been doing my part to post my success's. These are the auto's i have recieved over the past year.

TTM:
Howe-(his own 3x5)
Ted Lindsay-puck, 1 card
Delvecchio-puck, 2 cards
Bill Gadsby-puck, 3 cards
Norm Ullman-puck, 3 cards
Marcel Pronovost-puck, 3 cards
Red Kelly-puck, 1 card

Kopecky-3 cards
Zetterberg- 2 cards
Datsyuk- 2 cards
Lilja- 3 cards
Kronwall- 1 card
Franzen- 3 cards
Lidstrom- 2 cards
Mickey Redmond- 1 card
Brett Hull- 2 cards
Paul Coffee- 3 cards

IN PERSON:

Drake- 1 card
Rafalski- 1 card
Zetterberg- 1 card
Ritola- puck, sign
Howard- sign
Helm- puck, sign, schedule

All of the Wings alumni are great signers and there is a super fast turn around on them. Which is awesome. Most of the current roster was also pretty speedy, except Yzerman and Lidstrom.

In person i got most of the Wings prospects at Van Andel Arena (where the Griffins play). I got many more but only listed the main ones.

Sorry i am a slacker everyone. But if you have any questions about the auto's i recieved i would be happy to help anyone out with addy's.

Nice list, congrats! Do you hound the Griffins? If so maybe we can work something out...

Some very nice pick ups there! Congratulations! Yes, the Gretzky and the Yzerman are autopens, but the rest are awesome!

Great auto, great success!

Nice auto there man. Should be interesting to see when/if those other ones come back.

COULD YOU PM ME THE PATRICK KANE HOME ADDY?

Congrats on Kane; his mom included a note appologizing for the delay (30 days) last summer before the draft.

3/3 modano c/0 home (1 week)
2/2 reed larson c/o home (1 week)

8/15/08

1/3 Mark Howe (8 days) personalized to me

he included a letter stating that he won't sign for free anymore because of autograph seekers who want auto's only to sell them. He said from now on he requests a $10 check made out to the Ann Ferren Golf Classic, of which is a chairman. He said it is tax deductable since the event is a tax exempt entity. Also he will not sign the 1989 topps hockey card. He only signs that for his kids.


Seems like a nice guy and he was still nice enough to sign one of my cards. He was a great player and i consider this a great success.

I left town for a few days and came back to a few good surprises and a few bad surprises.

First, the good:

Igor Larionov 2/2
Jonathon Toews 2/2

Bad:
I had the Peter Mueller and Martin Hanzal stuff that i sent to the Yotes sent back to me. I sent to the listed address(Phoenix Coyotes-5800 West Glenn Drive, Suite 350, Glendale, AZ 85301
), and it was returned saying

Return to Sender
Not Deliverable as Addressed
Unable to Forward

Can anyone help me out with this??? Is there a newer address or something?

Thanks guys.

I checked the Coyotes website and they say to send mail to....

Phoenix Coyotes Hockey Club

6751 North Sunset Boulevard, #200
Glendale, AZ 85305
Phone: (623) 772-3200

Hey, your getting some nice successes! FYI, I've seen a couple of Fetisov successes c/o his Russian gig...
Fetisov, Slava - Multisport Association of Russia - Prospect Mira, 119, str. 521 - 129223, Moscow Russia

thanks for the right addy i really appreciate it jason.



whalerfan, how do you go about sending to Russia?

Sorry no idea on that one, I had heard the Russian mail system was horrible. Maybe hit the local post office for the correct postage over and include cash for the return. Glad I sucked it up and paid $10 at a local show right before he retired and yes I'm dating myself.

haha, well thanks anyway. if the addy in New Jersey takes awhile maybe i will look into sending to Russia. Thanks again.

8/30/08

RTS: Slava Kozlov

I sent to 4240 Irma Court address. I have seen previous successes from it, but not this time. On the envelope someone wrote not at this address, return to sender.


Can anybody help me out with an address for Slava Kozlov? Any help would be much appreciated.

I saw a RTS earlier this summer, was assuming he'd gone somewhere for the summer. That is the address that worked for me last season, maybe he got hammered and stopped signing...

i am not sure why it didn't work. I figure i will try c/o team. he seems like he is a good signer so i don't think he would stop. but who knows.

Going out in the mail today 9/3/08:

Sakic c/o team
Smyth c/o team
Hejduk c/o team
Peter Stastny c/o home
Bobby Clarke c/o team
Mikku Koivu c/o home
martin Straka ( long shot) c/o home
Olli Jokinen c/o team
Cristobal Huet c/o team
Slava Kozlov c/o team
Henrik Lundqvist

today brought 3/3 martin Biron.

sept 10;

4/4 ryan miller
0/3 bobby clarke- he took the time to put my cards and letter in the sase and send them all back with the cards unsigned. bummer.

Miller must be hitting the stack, mine came yesterday. Wow, that's the 1st time I heard that Clarke didn't sign....

Yeah i was kind of confused about the whole CLarke thing because i have seen many success's with him. Oh well, i will just have to try again some other time.




TODAY brought:

2/2 Kyle Quincey c/o Griffins, both are personalized, very nice.

I completely forgot i sent this out last season. It was a nice surprise though.

Maybe Mr Clarke knows you are a wings fan.

haha, that's possible!

today:

3 of 3 Henrik Lundqvist



Nice set of auto's to break a long dry spell.

I hate how much time has been between my last few posts. I have some many requests out and they just aren't making it back. But......


Yesterday, 8/9:

1 of 1 Joe Sakic

He sent back my card but also sent an auto's 3x5 and it looks authentic.

Congrats on Sakic, was that to the team address or the practice rink?

Did you try Clarke c/o Flyers or the home address?

I sent to the team address

c/o team

Yesterday,

1/3 Rick Nash


What a nice surprise. I checked the mail yesterday and had nothing in it but this morning there was an extra envelope in there. It must have gotten put in someone elses box. The envelope was pretty tattered and partially opened. But the card was in great shape. I had heard he only signs 1 but i thought i would send more just in case.

Congrats on Nash! I'm 2 for 2 with him, there was the kiss of death.

Yesterday,


3/3 Tomas Holmstrom c/o home
1/1 Tomas Holmstrom c/o team


I sent the c/o team one about midway through last season. I didn't think i was going to get it back since it had been so long since i had sent it. Now they all came back and i feel kinda greedy. All the cards look great though and he is one of my fav's so i guess its ok.

In the near future i am going to try to get scans of all of my auto's up here.

Today,

3/3 Christobel Huet c/o team
2/2 Daniel Briere c/o team

today,


Hejduk 1/1


He returned my card unsigned but inclosed an auto'd 3x5. Very nice. I kind of like that a lot of the guys on the Av's send the same looking print. It makes me feel like i am collecting a set.

today,


1/1 Peter Stastny

Inscribed with HOF date

SO i have been without a computer lately. And in that time i recieved a few more TTM's.


- Selanne 3/3

Welcome back, nice list of Griffins.

amazing list of successes you got going there!!
could you help me out with addresses for
Kris Draper
Eric Lindros
Ryan Miller
Mike Madano
Bob Probert
Rick nash

Lindros works for the NHLPA
c/o NHLPA
20 Bay Street

Canada

Nash is good for 1 c/o Blue Jackets.
I've seen successes for Draper at:

Kris Draper
4782 Trailview
West Bloomfield MI 48322-4572

I've heard Miller is good c/o Sabres.
I'm not sure what Modano's deal is. One address is ghost-signed by his mom, others are legit, so beware with him.

AAANND I'm under the impression Probert dropped off the face of the earth.

thanks for posting the addys for me.


with probert i sent to the wings alumni because i know he plays games with them sometimes, its a long shot.

thanks guys all this great information is greatly appreciated
steve

Yeah, I think I posted that address right before he quit, but thanks for saving someone a couple stamps.

Jason Spezza 3/3 c/o team in about 7 months



also Jiri Fischer in person, nice guy!

Very nice day; I've seen a few Spezza successes as of late and Fischer to boot. I've got one out c/o Wings but haven't seen squat...
