John LeClair

Mail came no more than 20 minutes after I posted. This must be good luck. In today's mailbag besides bills, I pulled just one back. John LeClair had gotten back to me already, and I have to say, signed 2 cards, or from this years Fleer set, and an old Pinnacle one quite nicely. Black Sharpie. Personally I dont think John LeClair gets enough credit where credit is due. This guy played great in Philly, especially on the Legion of Doom line, and is now in Pittsburgh helping these rookies adapt to the NHL. Guys like him and Chris Chelios who take young guys under their wings is just awesome. Props to them.

No mail yet today. Though I did send out mail today to Johnny Bower and to David Legwand. Hopefully it wont take a long time for it to come back, especially the Johnny Bower. I'm very excited to be getting it back soon. Hopefully the mail will hurry up and come to day on this rainy saturday. I'll keep you updated!

Mark Stuart

Now, I'll be honest. I dont really know too much about this guy, other than that he's a rookie, and plays for Boston. I found a home address listing for him in Minnesota, and thought i'd give it a go. He signed the card for me in 9 days, and signed it in a nice thick black sharpie. Very happy with what he has done for me, i'll be sure to check him out next season and keep tabs on him.

Kris Draper

Kris Draper, what can I say about this guy? I recieved it today, and waited since the middle of May. It was worth the wait though on him. He only signed one of the two cards that I sent, but I feel this man is one of the most under respected players in the NHL. He plays such a great shut down hockey game, and can nuetralize any stars that he goes up against. Great player, especially in the playoffs. What else can I say about this great two way player that I respect so much? 1 autograph is better than none, and i'm happy he chose the Fleer card to help my collection along.

Sergei Federov

Today after 10 days of waiting, I recieved Sergei Federov's graph in the mail. He returned 3/3 all of which i believe are stamped. It's unfortunate, especially because I'm trying to get as many real auto's as possible for my 06-07 Fleer set, but, what can you do? I was also hoping to get his autograph in a Red Wings Uniform, because it's going into my special plaque I want to create dedicated to the Russian Five that played in Detroit. I have Konstantinov's autograph for that one already, so, 20% there already. But alas, something is better than nothing right now. Worst case scenario from Sergei, I find a certified autograph of him in a Red Wings uni.
