Troy Loney

Mailed on 8/2/10 and received 4/4 back on 9/30/10. Mr. Loney played on some great Penguin teams in his day and was a leader on the ice for his teammates. Nice of him to sign my four cards and he also signed one of the index cards I used for padding. Cards were mailed to his home.

Saku Koivu

Mailed on 9/20/10 and received 5/5 back on 9/30/10. Awesome success from a long time leader and good guy in the NHL. A true warrior on and off the ice, Mr. Koivu is a player to be admired. I'm so happy to add him to my collection. Cool autograph as well! Cards were mailed to his home.

Cam Ward

Mailed on 1/9/10 and received 3/3 back on 9/30/10. This one was a long time waiting but well worth it. Cam is a stud and been a star in the league for a while now. Interesting signature but the blue sharpie looks awesome. Very happy and surprised with this one. Cards were mailed to the Canes.

Alexander Semin

Mailed on 9/7/10 and received 2/2 back on 9/25/10. Mr. Semin is a awesome player and a whole lot of fun to watch on the ice. He hides in the shadow of Ovechkin and puts up great numbers each year. This kid is going to be good for a long time. I got a success from Alexander before but it wasn't exactly ideal. I sent my card in a hard plastic case and Mr. Semin signed the case and not the card. He was in a hurry signing I guess. So I didn't make that mistake again and sent these cards with no protection and it worked out. Very happy. Cards were mailed to the Capitals practice facility.

Brian Savage

Mailed on 7/30/10 and received 3/3 back on 9/25/10. I always appreciate these retired players taking time out of their day to sign a few autographs. I liked these rookie cards I had of Mr. Savage so I sent them out. Cards were mailed to his home.

Shawn Chambers

Mailed on 9/7/10 and received 4/4 back on 9/21/10. Gorgeous signature from Mr. Chambers on these four cards. Mr. Chambers played on a few different teams but was always a hardnosed player. Cards were mailed to his home.

Shawn McEachern

Sent on 8/17/10 and received 6/6 back on 9/20/10. Nice return from former NHL star. The black sharpie is a little hard to see on some of these but overall the cards look great. Interesting signature for sure. Cards were mailed to the school he is coaching at.

Mike Modano

Mailed on 6/19/10 and received 3/3 back on 9/16/10. Great return from a Hall of Famer! These ones, unlike a couple returns I have gotten from Mr. Modano before, are no doubt real. These signature look just like the real autograph I got from Mike at a USA practice. The jersey card looks great and I'm so happy to get these back. Cards were mailed to his home.

Alexander Semak

Mailed on 7/30/10 and received 2/3 back on 9/16/10. Mr. Semak kept one of my cards, I believe it was a card of him with Tampa Bay. Thats alright, it was nice of him to sign anything for me. Cards were mailed to his home.

Brian Hayward

Mailed on 9/7/10 and received 5/5 back on 9/16/10. Mr. Hayward had a nice career and it was nice of him to sign all of my cards for me. His pen is kind of dying on a couple of these but overall they look great. Nice signature. Cards were mailed to his home.

Keith Tkachuk

Mailed on 9/23/08 and received 3/3 back on 9/15/10. Almost two years for these beauties! I've gotten returns from him that I've sent after this one but this return was sent to the Blues and the others were sent to his home. I never thought he signed through the Blues so I thought these where a goner. But Mr. Tkachuk is now retired and it looks like he is catching up on his mail. He also added extra postage to it. Cards were mailed to the Blues

Steve Kasper

Mailed on 9/7/10 and received 4/4 back on 9/14/10. Mr. Kasper has a very neat and good looking signature. A very quick turnaround! He also had some great seasons with the Kings. I'm very happy with these cards. Cards were mailed to his home.

Brian McCullough

Mailed on 9/7/10 and received 1/1 back on 9/13/10. I've grown up watching the Rivermen and Mr. McCullough was a great scorer for my Rivs. These are great looking cards and I'm happy to get this one signed. Hopefully more are to come. Card was mailed to his home.

Derick Brassard

Mailed on 1/13/10 and received 1/1 back on 9/9/10. Derick is a talent young star and is going to have a long NHL career. He is on a young talented team in Columbus and they will be a threat for many years in the future. Card looks amazing in blue sharpie. Card was mailed to the Blue Jackets.

Mark Tinordi

Mailed on 7/28/10 and received 6/6 back on 9/9/10. Nice of Mr. Tinordi to sign all of these cards for me. He had a great NHL career, he was a tough bruiser and a great leader for his teammates. His signatures looks awesome in thin blue sharpie. Cards were mailed to his home.

Marian Gaborik

Mailed on 6/19/10 and received 5/5 back on 9/7/10. Awesome return! Marian is one of my favorite players so watch, he is electric on the ice when he is healthy. He was very generous with this return as well. He signed all five of my cards, both the index cards I sent, returned the three dollars I sent for postage, and mailed this request back to me with his own money for postage. Truly a classy act from Mr. Gaborik. Such a great gesture from one of the best in the NHL. If only they all where this generous. Cards were mailed to his hockey school in Slovakia.

Alex Pietrangelo

Mailed on 7/5/08 and received 1/1 back on 9/7/10. Wow I certainly did not expect to see this one back. I mailed a group of these cards out to top draft picks in 2008 and I've gotten a good number of them back. A bold signature on this card looks pretty good and I'm happy with it. Card was mailed to the Blues.

Dustin Brown

Mailed on 7/30/10 and received 4/4 back on 9/3/10. I'm very happy with this return from the young star and captain of the LA Kings. I've tried to get him through the Kings with no success but I was finally about to get him c/o his home address. I was lucky enough to get him at a USA Olympic practice but its nice to add a few more of his signed cards to my collection. Cards like I said were mailed to his home.
