Patrick Kane



Sent: 2/7/11
Received: 7/30/11 (1/1)

I had a little fun with this one and tried something risky. Apparently Kane has an address at Chicago's Trump Tower so decided to take a risk and see if the addy work. Looks like it did. The card was a little bit damaged but the signature itself was unharmed. A success in my book.

Phil Housley


Card sent: February 2011
Card received 1/1: February 26th, 2011

I was really glad to get this card in the mail today. Phil Housley has always been a favorite of mine and he has the second highest amount of points for an American born player. He was a hard nosed Dman and in my opinion one of the most underrated Defensemen I can think of. Its strange how much of a journeyman he was during his career. Mr. Housley signed my card in black sharpie. I love this return.

Ted Lindsay



Card Sent: 1/1 January 20th, 2011
Received: 3/1 February 4th, 2011

Needless to say, "Terrible" Ted Lindsay is pretty much a living legend. This is the guy that led the Red Wings during their dynasty years. He's won 4 Stanley Cups, an Art Ross, was a part of the legendary "Production line" with Howe and Abel and he spearheaded the formation of the NHLPA. His footprint on the game is immeasurable and I'm so glad he signed my card. In addition, he sent me two more autographed items and a note thanking me for writing. First of all, Mr. Lindsay's signature is incredible and old school, and secondly, its really great for such a monumental player such as Mr. Lindsay to be so nice to the fans. What a great return and what a great guy.

Ah, good old JR. Love him or hate him, you have to admit that Roenick is pretty stellar to his fans and is a very good signer TTM. I've always liked Roenick since I started following hockey as a kid and I can't get enough of his quirky personality. Most hockey players seem robotic and practiced toward the press but JR has always given the hockey world off ice entertainment in addition to his stellar career in the NHL. Mr. Roenick was nice enough to sign all three of my cards in blue sharpie. The signatures are sometimes hard to see in some areas but they turned out pretty sweet anyways.

Chris Chelios




Card sent: November 3, 2010
Recieved: November 18, 2010

This was my first TTM return and I am quite happy with it. Chris Chelios to me is not only one of greatest D-men of all time, but is arguably the greatest American born player ever. He was a proven leader and I was a little bit upset when he finally retired from the NHL last season at 47. The signature is quite legible and was signed in blue sharpie marker. Nice autograph from a great future hall of famer.
