Ville Leino

Mailed on 5/25/10 and received 1/1 back on 6/29/10. Ville had a great playoff season but came up just short against my Hawks. He was one of the best Flyers on the ice during the playoffs. It was nice of him to sign this card for me, even though its a pretty poor effort with the autograph. Oh well the cards still looks great. Card was mailed to the Flyers practice facility.

Sam Gagner

Mailed on 9/8/09 and received 3/3 back on 6/28/10. Mailed during the beginning of the season and I knew Gagner was a signer at the end of the season. He did not let down and he was nice enough to sign these three cards for me. Cards were mailed to the Oilers.

Daniel Alfredsson

Mailed on 9/8/09 and received 2/3 back on 6/21/10. This one took an entire season to find its way back to me but was more then worth the wait. Mr. Alfredsson has been a spotty signer and seems to do some at the end of every season. I think you have to be lucky and that is what I was. This is an awesome return. Cards were mailed to the Senators.

Nick Boynton

Mailed on 5/27/10 and received 1/1 back on 6/19/10. I mailed a few requests out to players on both teams in the finals and this is the first one to come back. Its from the steady d-man Nick Boynton on my Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks! Mr. Boynton didn't play the entire playoffs until the finals came and he was ready to play. He did a great job and I'm so happy to add him to my collection. He also was nice enough to personalize it for me. I always enjoy when players do that. Card was mailed to the Hawks.

Chris Osgood

Mailed on 12/28/09 and received 4/4 back on 6/18/10. Chris has been a long time great in the NHL. Unfortunately it looks like his time has come after being replaced last season by the future star Jimmy Howard. Still nice of Mr. Osgood to be signing. His signature varies on a few of these cards but they still look good. Cards were mailed to his home.

Ray Whitney

Mailed on 1/30/10 and received 5/4 back on 6/18/10. Mr. Whitney has a very nice autograph and it was nice of him to sign all of these for me. Cards were mailed to his home address.

Sergei Nemchinov

Mailed on 6/26/09 and received 5/5 back on 6/11/10. Almost a year for this one. I'm glad Sergei finally broke out the pen and signed these for me. Cool signature but I'm not sure how it spells Sergei Nemchinov haha. Cards were mailed to his home.

Jamie Langenbrunner

Mailed on 5/15/09 and received 3/3 back on 6/9/10. Quite a wait but worth it for great American born player. I remember young Jamie winning the Cup with the Stars and now he is a great captain for one of the best teams in the NHL. Cards were mailed to his home.

Dany Heatley

Mailed on 10/18/09 and received 2/3 back on 6/7/10. I'd never really seen returns from Dany but I figured I might as well send something just in case. And now I've got two beautiful Dany Heatley cards. Not the greatest sharpie used but I'm not complaining these cards are sweet. I also love these Victory Game Breakers cards, they look like they were made for being signed. Sweet success. Cards were mailed to the Sharks.

Joe Thornton

Mailed on 9/8/09 and received 1/2 back on 6/7/10. Sent at the beginning of the year and received at the end. Joe has been a reliable signer after the season ends. Joe tried to get after my Hawks this postseason and we all saw how that worked out. But for the most part, I've always liked and respected Mr. Thornton and I really appreciate him signing for me. Cards were mailed to the Sharks.
