A jOlli good mail day

Yesterday, I got my first mail this week. I got Olli Jokinen 4/4 c/o Calgary Flames about 3-4 weeks. Also, Jonathan Cheechoo signed 2/5 cards and 1 schedule c/o Ottawa Senators probably 3-4 weeks as well. Both signed in black sharpie.

I will be gone for a week soon and I'll get to 1 or 2 hockey games so I'll let you know how it goes in the New Year. I probably won't post until the New Year. The World Juniors are coming up on Boxing Day, that's going to awesome. Remember the reason for the season! I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. God Bless.

3 Autographs Richer

Stéphane Richer signed 3 cards for me c/o Clube de Golfe Montpellier, about 2-3 weeks. He was at the Canadiens Centenial game. Montreal will be playing tonight against the Penguins, they've won the last 3 straight. Once again, let me know if you'd like any addresses.

Good news for hockey fans in Québec City, the Québec premier has been speaking with NHL commisioner Garry Bettman, about a new team in Québec City. There should be 7 teams in Canada soon with Winnipeg, Hamilton, and Québec City all being big markets. Maybe "Les Coyotes de le Ville de Québec"?

Schmidt, Ferraro, & Tlusty

I got these 2 days ago. Left; Milt Schidt. Middle; Jiri Tlusty. Right; Ray Ferraro. Schidt added a note saying he usually doesn't pay for postage but I was first to write to him from my city. I really appreciate it. Sent c/o home, 2/2. Tlusty was traded the day I got this, I thought about the TTM when I heard about the trade. Sent c/o Toronto Marlies and I think 3/4. Leafs should have given him some more time. The other was Ray Ferraro who is a TSN annalist, sent c/o TSN, 2/2. Ferraro is a Boston Red Sox fan.

Good Mail Day

Rec'd from Elmer Lach c/o home, Gilbert Perreault c/o home, and Carey Price c/o Canadiens. Lach added 3 cards, 2 were signed and did the Q&A. Mr. Perreault signed 1 card, I attempted to write the letter to him in french. I guess he knew what to do. Price signed sticker, card, and 08-09 schedule. All were out for less than a month.

I was hoping UD would forgive me about the wait

I haven't really gotten much in the last week besides Georges Laraque TTM c/o Canadiens. Today I got to parcels from UpperDeck with a Bill Hall gu & Brian Rafalski BAP auto. Also, I got a Montréal Canadiens fan pack with cards, sticker and 09-10 schedule. The cards are of PK Subban, Ben Maxwell, Glen Metropolit, Matt D'Agostini, Josh Gorges, Mathieu Carle, and Guillaume Latendresse who was traded to the Wild for Benoit Pouliot. I think the Habs did pretty well there, Pouliot was drafted 1 ahead of Carey Price who had a great performance last night with a 5-3 win of the Blue Jackets.

Recieve "Happiness"...

The Olympic torch came through recently and I got a special edition (250mL) bottle of Coke. It looks really cool. I might be able to get a couple unopened ones. On ebay I saw one for $8.00. The puck id there for comparison. Anyways, it's a nice souvenir. Next update will probaby the mail...

Pack Breaks

I bought 2 09-10 Victory, 2 09-10 OPC, and 1 09-10 Artifacts. I got a Mike Modano 152/199 Frozen Artifacts card. I got a Kostitsyn base which I will take for IP when I see a game in December. I've got a bunch of Canadiens bases for autos. I might try Drew Doughty TTM with the base. I'm planning on sending TTM requests to Jiri Tlusty, Ryan Kesler, and Joel Otto.

NYR vs. OTT and TOR vs. CGY on HNIC today. Should be a couple of good games!

Zetterberg through ze TTM

I sent the request c/o agent a few months ago. He only signed the mini jersey but it looks really cool. I'm not sure if you can see it, you mmight have to click to enlarge. It's on the bottom left part of the jersey in black. I was hoping he'd sign the white card but that's best kind. Thanks Zetterberg.

Tom Pyatt and McDonald's cards

Went on a rare visit to McDonald's and got to packs of cards. Inside were Tim Thomas, Jeff Carter, Daniel Alfredsson, Marc Savard, Ryan Getzlaf, Pavel Datsyuk, and Patrick Roy checklist. I like them better than last year's. I'd say they're alright for autographs.

Also, I got my stuff back from Tom Pyatt which I sent during the pre-season, he was sent down to the Hamilton Bulldogs after. They called him back up last week. You may have heard of Taylor Pyatt, his brother. Sent c/o Canadiens.

Trois Envolopes

Recieved them today. From the Winnipeg Goldeyes, I sent the request via e-mail. Enclosed were "Go Goldeyes Go" wash cloth, 3 small cards (1 signed), 2 jumbo cards, 2 team photos, bookmark, and 1 used ticket. Pretty sweet, 4.5/5.

The autographs were from Tyler Seguin (NHL prospect) who did a Q&A and signed 3 custom cards. And from Al MacInnis who signed 2 cards. Thanks Mr. Seguin and Mr. MacInnis. Again, let me know if you'd like any information on addresses and what not.

Sabres Fan Pack +

Recieved a Sabres fan pack 11/6 with a schedule, Derek Roy magnet, and tattoo. I sent the request via e-mail.

Also, here's a little project I'm working on. 1978-79 Stanley Cup mini banner. It's already signed by Larry Robinson, Serge Savard, & Scotty Bowman.

TGIF!

Jake Gartner, Brett Colbourne, Sam Gagner, & Guy Lafleur auto's pucks.

It's Friday! These are all my autographed pucks I won 3 of them and got Lafleur TTM. Guy is great for TTM. If anyone ever needs a TTM address then let me know, I'll see if I can find it. I'll let you know what I get in the mail box today...

Welcome!

I live in Eastern Canada and I collect sports autographs and memoribilia. I've collected for a number of years and have amassed tons of stuff like autographed pucks (Sam Gagner, Guy Lafleur, ...), autographed cards (Patrick Roy IP, John Tavares TTM, Cam Fowler TTM, Henri Richard TTM, Jean Beliveau TTM, Tomas Vokoun cert., ...), jersey cards (Alex Ovechkin, Eric Staal, Shane Doan, Scott Gomez, Borje Salming, ...), rookie cards (Patrick Kane, Luke Schenn, Steven Stamkos, Blake Wheeler, Steve Mason, Sam Gagner, Ilya Kovalchuk, ...)McFarland Figures (Luongo, Crosby, M. Ryder, and Sakic), and much more. In this blog (if I don't forget) I'll tell you about my autographs (TTM/IP) and all about the NHL especially the Canadiens. Most of my autographs are TTM but rarely I'll get a chance to meet someone IP. Check back to see what's new!

C'mon Dougie!

Sent about a month ago c/o Kingston Frontenaces and recieved 11/5. I sent q-card, hockey card, a silver sharpie, and a decoy card covered with hockey tape. I only recieved the card signed and Doug stole my sharpie, haha. I'll consider this a success though. Thanks Mr. Gilmour!

Got a fan pack from the Hershey Bears with Bears magazine, 2 Bears schedule, 1 Washington Capitals schedule, 2 brochures, and 1 badge type thing. Years ago they were called the "Hershey Bars". Not a bad fan pack.
