Dale Hunter 1 card - 16 days
Gary Leeman 2 cards - 13 days

hopefully many many more to come.

I tried Gartner not too long ago, did you use the Canadian team address??

I sent to him in c/o the Hockey Hall of Fame
He returned it in about a month.

I know he operates the National Training Rink in Richmond Hill On, but not sure if he signs thru it or not.

Yes, i did send to national rink, if i dont get a return in aa while i will try hhof, thanks

Good Luck, let me know how you make out. I need him on a puck and will send to the NTR if he signs through it.

Can you post the address you used for Geoff Smith please? Was it c/o the Kamloops Blazers? I've sent to him c/o of the team over a year ago and still waiting. Thank you very much.

I sent to Geoff Smith in c/o the Kamloops Blazers.
You may have to try him again.

I dropped by to trade with reebokkid yesterday, he helped me immensly with 22 auto's I needed for my 90-91 UD project.

Thanks again Michael.

what year are those cards ? I think they might be 91-92. I am collecting 90-91.

Yes, those were from the wrong year, sorry. I have some extras from the 90-91 set. They are in black sharpie:

10 Rick Wamsley
26 Joe Nieuwendyk
252 Joe Mullen

I obtained the Wamsley and Mullen TTM; bought the Nieuwy on eBay.

thanks for the offer, I have Wamsly & Nieuwy, and just sent to Mullen today.
Are you looking for anything ? I have some extras from various years.

recd 1/2 signed back from former NHLer Mike Bullard in 47 days.
I'm guessing he kept the second card I enclosed in the letter.
the count stands at 188.

Cool. The only 2 auto'd cards I'm really in the market for would be a 1990 Pro Set Sergei Priakin and a 1988 OPC Mike Vernon. The Priakin is the last auto I need for ALL the members of the 1989 Stanley Cup Flames collection I have framed in my office.

Good luck with your collection! If you get desperate in the end for any Flames' players from that set, drop me a line. I've collected all the players from the 89 Cup team from that set for my collection, but it sounds like you may need them more!!

Thanks for the offer. The one Flame I really want is Nieuwendyk on a puck. Need him for my 500 goal collection.

speaking of former Flames, I am going to an appearance by Gary Roberts tomorrow outside of Toronto.

I went to Gary Roberts autograph session to got my jersey signed but it was $25

I had him sign 2 bases from the Mcfarlane figures. First one was free, second one was $10.
It was a very well run signing.

Darn! I wish I could have sent you a rookie card and $10 to have him sign for me!! I've written him twice with no success!!

Sorry, I would have picked it up for you.
I got him ttm several years ago for my Upper Deck project.
I got one base signed for a buddy in Arizona, he's also sent Gary two bases to be signed without success, so he had me get him in person.
Mr. Roberts must be collecting a lot of memorbilia from his career.

3 returns today
Ray Ferraro RTS from TSN, not sure why.
Brent Sutter 2/2 in 14 days
Paul Reinhart 2/2 in silver sharpie, looks pretty nice actually, returned in 29 days.
The count stands at 190. I'm hoping to break into the 200's this week, I have a lot of cards out there.

I actually grew up a few blocks from Gary Roberts in Calgary back in the day. He and Doug Gilmour were neighbors and used to carpool together. I got both of them to autograph a couple posters for me when I was still in elementary school. They were both very cool in person back then!!

How would one go about finding out when and where players do autograph sessions anyway??

There is a website www.signingshotline.com, but I think you have to pay to use it. I live about an hour outside of Toronto, and there is a pretty good network of guys who frequent another message board and we pass info onto each other using it. Almost everything I hear about is thru it.

up to 192 !

today brought Stan Smyl 2/2 in 15 days and Chris Joseph also 2/2 in 15 days

two more today

Brent Ashton 2/2 in 16 days
Gary Nylund 2/2 in 30 days including a very nice note from his young daughter who also referred to herself as his "personal assistant"

I hope that "personal assistant" didn't include the sharpie in her hand!

lol, no he signed the cards. She signed the note.

That is good to know - I am o for with Nylund.
Where did you send to him?

tragically fish, I got my Nylund cards back recently too and go t a note from his assistant. how did you know it was his daughter?
