Craig was always one of my favourites when he played in Detroit. He had a ton of power and hit some monster homers, he was also an absolute beast in the 06 playoffs and was one of the big reasons for the Tigers making the World Series. Thank you so much for signing my cards.

I'm always happy to add a former Spitfire to my collection, even if he only played a few games. Tim was also a 50 goal scorer in a season. Thank you so much for signing my cards.

Thanks Ed for signing my cards.

I picked these up off Sportlots. Got the whole lot for $27 shipped. Thought it was a pretty solid deal for a few top player and tough/ non-ttm signers.

Eric was an excellent penalty killer and even was a full-time university student during his playing days in Chicago. Quite a feat knowing personally how difficult it is to juggle school and everything else, let alone play professional hockey.

I got letter back that they found my letter in his locker after cleanout and they wanted to return my cards. The letter was hand signed by a member of the PR team and it seemed sincere.

I really had given up on this one, especially after seeing successes last year from his house and team, I assumed that my request was lost. This is the second time Eric has been so kind to sign for me. My request had also come back with a Canadian stamp on it but was postmarked from North Carolina. Needless to say I was very happy to get this one back.

Justin Azevedo TTM Success

Justin Azevedo

4 of 4 and actually signed my draft cards instead of keeping them like last time.

Justin was an exciting player to watch back when he was with the Kitchener Rangers of the OHL. His mantle must be covered with awards from his junior days as in his final year he looked unstoppable when it came to scoring. The major knock on Justin is his size, being listed at 5'8" is tough when you are trying to make the NHL. This is my second success with Justin and I have also met him during his Kitchener days.

Alex is an easy player to hate, but I'm pretty sure everyone wishes that he was on their favourite team. From being an excellent agitator to having a scoring touch. He is a very complete player and I'm happy to be able to add his autograph to my collection.

We Have a Trade to Announce

I was able to pick these up on a site that I belonged to. The trade was Jordan Staal, Ryan Smyth, and Alexander Semin for Patrik Elias, Ilya Kovalchuk, and David Clarkson. I was happy to add these to my collection as I had never seen a TTM success from Kovalchuk or Elias and I had duplicates of ever player that I traded away.

He has put up some amazing numbers through his career including 123 points in 61 games during his final year in juniors. He also has quite the well stocked trophy case which includes a Calder and 3 Norris Trophies. He also won 4 Stanley Cups as a member of the New York Islanders dynasty in the early 80's.

Decided that it was time to start updating my website a little bit so I'll start out with the first success I got this year.

Mark is one of those solid defensemen whose fine play often goes unnoticed if you are not a fan of the Calgary Flames. Going undrafted in juniors he was able to earn himself a contract after 2 seasons with the Owen Sound Attack of the OHL. He had a career year last season putting up 43 points. Mark also shares the same birthday with myself being October 3rd.
