Jussi Jokinen


Mailed on 9/15/08 and received 1/1 back on 9/29/08. Fast return from an awesomely talented NHL star. Jussi Jokinen is known for his creative and unstoppable shootout moves. He's a joy to watch and I'm really excited to get this back even though its signed in ballpoint pen. Card was mailed to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Matt Thornton


Mailed on 9/15/08 and received 1/1 back on 9/29/08. Great return time from a MLB reliever having a great year. With the Whitesox approaching the playoffs it was nice of him to sign this card for me. Card was mailed to the Chicago Whitesox.

Marlon Byrd


Mailed on 8/11/08 and received 1/1 back on 9/27/08. Mr. Marlon Byrd had a huge second half of the season this year and is an exciting player to watch. He signed my jersey card beautifully in bold blue sharpie. Card looks great thanks so much! Card was mailed to the Texas Rangers.

Radim Vrbata


Mailed on 7/5/08 and received 2/2 back on 9/26/08. This is a great return, I was a huge Radim Vrbata fan for the too brief season that he played here in Chicago. He was a good playmaker and fun to watch. Cool signature too. Cards where mailed to his new team, the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Brian Propp


Mailed on 9/2/08 and received 4/4 back on 9/25/08. He signed 3 of the 4 cards I sent but included a signed picture of himself in a Flyers uniform. He personalized 2 of the cards and the picture and wrote "Guffaw" on all of the items. Cool return mailed from his work office, originally sent to his home address.

Ian Snell

Mailed on 9/15/08 and received 2/2 back on 9/25/08. Sweet signature from a great young pitcher thats going to be a star for a long time. Bold blue sharpie on both cards. Cards where mailed to the Pirates.

R.J. Umberger

Henrik Zetterberg


Mailed on 9/15/08 and received 1/1 back on 9/22/08. This Zetterberg autograph appears to be real. I sent this one not to the team but to Mr. Henrik Zetterbergs agent. This is a different card then I sent, I sent a 09 Victory card and received this one back. I previously received a stamped then ghost signed Zetterberg through the Red Wings. If anyone knows anything I'd listen but I'll just assume that this one is real.

David Legwand


Mailed on 9/10/08 and received 1/1 back on 9/19/08. This is a great return from an awesome player. I recently received a card back from David Legwand and I noticed that he signs all of his mail toward the end of the NHL offseason, right before players report to training camp so I sent this card out hoping for a quick return and thats exactly what I got! Very excited and happy to get this card back. Card was mailed to Mr. Legwands home.

Wandy Rodriguez


Mailed on 8/4/08 and received 1/1 back on 9/20/08. Great signature from a promising young star on my Astros. Signed in thick black sharpie on the upper half of the card. Card was mailed to the Houston Astros.

Ubaldo Jimenez


Mailed on 5/5/08 and received 1/1 back on 9/18/08. Took a little while but a nice return from a promising young star. Signed in fading black sharpie though and its pretty hard to see on the card. Still a very nice return. Card was mailed to the Colorado Rockies.

Mike Modano


Mailed on 9/10/08 and received 1/1 back on 9/18/08. I'm pretty sure that this is a fake. I've never seen a certified Mike Modano autograph with the rounded looking M's in his name. I received a couple cards from Mr. Modano before that I believe are real because the handwriting isn't as nice and they actually look like his certified stuff, but this one doesn't look good. I'm kind of upset that my nice jersey card got ghost signed (I've heard his mother ghost signs some of his mail). Unless anyone out there has any other ideas or suggestions for me this one is going in the fake pile with my Henrik Zetterberg and Nicklas Lidstrom fakes.

Clint Robinson


Mailed on 8/25/08 and received 1/4 back on 9/18/08. This was an odd one. The one card I received back had sharpie on the back of it like he had signed another card and put it behind the one I got, and some of the sharpie came off on the card I received. But no other cards where in the envelope but the outside of the envelope was all taped up. I dont really know, if someone wanted to steal my cards why wouldn't they just take all of the cards? Oh well I got 1 card back and thats all that really matters I guess. Cards where mailed to the Burlington Bees.

Randy Wolf


Mailed on 7/23/08 and received 1/3 back on 9/17/08. Kept 1 signed 1 and returned 1. Nice signature from a solid MLB'er. Cards where mailed to the Houston Astros.

Steve Singleton


Mailed on 8/4/08 and received 2/2 back on 9/15/08. Sweet signature and a nice return from a great minor leaguer in the Twins organization. I hope to soon see him in Minnesota. Cards where mailed to the Fort Myers Miracle.

Cam Barker


Mailed some time in April '08 and received 1/1 back on 9/15/08. I was surprised I didn't get this one back sooner, Mr. Cam Barker is a very good in person autograph signer and I figured it wouldn't take long to get my card back. But I had written this one off and now I received it back and am very happy to get it back. Mr. Barker put about .50c of additional canadian postage on it too which is really cool.

David Shinskie


Mailed on 8/25/08 and received 4/5 back on 9/11/08. He kept one of the UD rookie cards which is fine with me, it was nice of him to sign 4 cards for me. David is a talented young pitcher who was hurt for a while this season but still was very good. Cards where mailed to the Fort Myers Miracle.

Edwin Jackson


Mailed on 8/6/08 and received 2/3 back on 9/8/08. Nice return from a great young pitcher who's on the best team in the AL, the Tampa Bay Rays. Thats still weird to say haha. Cards signed in thin black sharpie. Cards where mailed to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Ulf Dahlen


Mailed on 8/15/08 and received 4/4 back on 9/8/08. I thought this one was a goner after I saw that Mr. Ulf Dahlen had moved to Sweden shortly after I had mailed my cards. So I was very surprised when I received my cards back with 2 extra Swedish stamps on the envelope so I could get my cards. This is a great success and I'm so happy that Mr. Dahlen went above and beyond so I could received my cards. Thanks so much!!

Reggie Savage


Mailed on 8/18/08 and received 2/3 back on 9/8/08. He signed two of my cards in pen and kept the third which was just a double of the newer Parkhurst card. Nice return the pen actually looks ok on these cards so its fine with me. Cards where mailed to Mr. Reggie Savages home.

Jay Pandolfo


Mailed on 8/18/08 and received 3/3 back on 9/8/08. This is an odd one. Mr. Jay Pandolfo signed all 3 of my cards on the back on the cards. Never seen this one before. hmmm... Happy to get anything back but way couldn't he just sign the fronts of the cards???? Oh well. Cards where mailed to Mr. Pandolfos home.

Chris Osgood


Mailed on 7/26/08 and received 2/3 back on 9/4/08. Not a Red Wings fan, at all, but I respect Chris Osgood he is a hard working veteran and deserves what he has earned. Im very happy to add him to my collection. Cards where mailed to Mr. Osgoods home.
