Ray Whitney

Card Sent: 8/4/11

Received: 8/20/11 (2/2)

Geez I got these back WWAYY quicker than I thought I would! I've been a fan of Whitney's ever since he came to Columbus back in the inaugural  season. He's a great playmaker and played 151 games in Columbus and scored 140 points. Whitney might not put up huge numbers but he has been one of the most consistent players for over a decade. I hope he can hit 1000 career points before he retires (close at 926!). Mr. Whitney signed both of my cards in blue sharpie and his signature is pretty sweet. I love this return.

Card received: December 23, 2010

Rostislav "Rusty" Klesla is the not only the first player ever drafted by the Blue Jackets but is also the only original player from the inaugural season roster. This was a fairly quick return from an active player. The card is signed in blue sharpie and is personalized to me. A very nice return.

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.

Brett Hull

Cards sent: November 3, 2010
Recieved: 2/2 November 23, 2010

This was an exciting return from the "Golden Mullet". Hull was pretty much the face of hockey when I was growing up in the 90's. He was everywhere (Cereal boxes, comic books, TV, and magazines) and I will always remember him for not only being a tremendous talent, but a class act as well. Mr. Hull signed all two of my cards in blue sharpie marker. Great return from one of the best.
