Did he pass away before the 06-07 Parkhurst come out? If not does anyone have an extra one they would trade to me? I have some deceased players to trade for him or a few other autographed cards.

I am looking for that card if he was still with us when it came out, thanks for the offer.

Don Metz was still with us when the 06/07 Parkhurst set was released featuring him on his first hockey card since the 1940's. I sent this particular card to him to sign. He was gracious enough to sign it for me although he signed in ball point pen which didn't turn out the greatest. I have no plans to sell or trade it but if you are looking for an unsigned copy of the card there is currently one up for sale on Ebay:

I have a unsigned one, just never sent it. I have a unsigned one, just never sent it. Going to try and get the set signed and starting with the deceased when I can and not wait to the end which I did with the Original 6 set. At least there was only 2-3 I needed at that time.

Hi Guys and Gals,

I'm new here. I've been trying to put this auto set together now for about 18 months now. I'm down to my last six:

013 Jean Beliveau Canadiens
016 Doug Gilmour Maple Leafs
040 Dale Hunter Capitals
077 Ray Bourque Bruins
132 Denis Savard Blackhawks
150 Mario Lemieux Penguins

Also add these 4 to the never-signed cards:

014 Rod Gilbert
137 Peter McNab
143 Pat Lafontaine
155 Craig Mactavish

What I've proceeded to do is get certified autos from other sets to make my own cut autos to "complete" this set

001 Ron Maclean
014 Rod Gilbert - 01/02 Fleer Greats of the Game
065 Rejean Lemelin - 04/05 ITG Franchises
083 Kent Nilsson - 06/07 ITG International Ice
099 Wayne Cashman - 04/05 UD Legends Classic
105 Pokey Reddick
117 Dickie Moore - 04/05 UD Legends Classic
134 Gump Worsley - 04/05 UD Legends Classic
137 Peter McNab
142 Don Metz
143 Pat Lafontaine - 08/09 Donruss Americana
147 Larry Murphy - 04/05 UD Legends Classic
155 Craig Mactavish - 08/09 Masterpieces
159 Zigmund Palffy - 03/04 UD SP Authentic

I was told that a certified Pokey Reddick Edge Ice auto exists. Does anybody have one or can confirm that it does exists? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanking in advance for any information.

Bill

Hello, I was fast enough right after the set came out to get Don to sign some through the mail. He passed away very shortly after I received them in the mail. I always send a blue sharpie with my requests so they look beautiful. I will keep one for my collection but I am willing to trade. Email me at mdp64@aol.com for offers. I am looking for other deceased or hard to find hockey autographs but no current stars.

Also has anyone been able to get Clint Smith to sign his Parkhurst card? I sent to him with money and never received a reply.
