Aaron Voros

Aaron Voros signed 2/2 in-person on 12/27/08. He signed 2 blank index cards. He has a pretty crappy signature. He was in a rush. He's the new fighter for the Rangers. Unlike most fighters however, he has some scoring potential.

Autograph grade: C

Pittsburgh Penguins

Marc-Andre Fleury

Marc-Andre Fleury signed 3/3 on 12/26/08. He signed for about 50 people, despite holding about 4 0r 5 bottles of water. He smudged 2 my cards (one pretty bad), but thats okay. I'm just happy that he was nice and signed autographs. He signed a lot despite coming out late. Thanks Mr. Fleury.

Autograph grade: A-

Jordan Staal

Mr. Staal signed 3/3 on 12/26/06. Mr. Stall signed these 3 cards. He is my favorite of all the Staals (probably because he plays for the Penguins, one of my favorite teams). He signed for around 35-40 fans. He used the same marker for everything, although he was sure to get anyone with a puck in silver. These are great autographs that I'm very happy to add to my collection.

Autograph grade: B+

Petr Sykora

Petr Sykora signed 3/3 on 12/26/08. He signed about 25-35 autographs, but this was because he was running late. He used the first Sharpie he took for everything. Lucky for those with pucks he grabbed silver. He still was nice and did a good job despite being in a hurry.

Autograph grade: B

Philippe Boucher

Mr. Boucher signed 2/2 on 12/26/08. These cards look pretty good, although one bubbled a little bit. Mr. Boucher didn't talk much, but he still signed for about three quarters of the fans.

Autograph grade: B

Maxime Talbot

Maxime Talbot signed 2/2 on 12/26/06. Mr. Talbot didn't say much, but he looked happy to sign autographs for about half the fans waiting. I didn't recognize him at first because he was wearing glasses. Both cards came out looking nice because they were both cardboard and didn't have any gloss. Thanks Mr. Talbot.

Autograph grade: B

Ruslan Fedotenko

Ruslan Fedotanko signed 2/2 in-person on 12/26/08. Mr. Fedotenko signed these two cards for me. The Victory card came out pretty bubbly, but the other card came out great. Mr. Fedotenko was an autograph hounds best friend. He signed for everyone, signed with whatever marker, personalized, stopped for photos with fans, changed his number with the signature depending on the team he was with on the item, and signed multiples. He was also a very nice guy and talked with the fans for awhile. Mr. Fedotenko you get an A+.

Autogrpah grade: A+

Bobby Holik

Bobby Holik signed 2/2 in-person on 12/26/06. Mr. Holik is one of my favorite players. I was upset when he left the Devils a few years back, but I was really happy to see that the Devils signed him over the summer. The signature is kind of hard to see on the Victroy card, but his rookie card came out amazing. It looks really great. Mr.Holik was also a very nice person. He was funny and very happy to sign an autograph for everyone. From here on out I'm going to give everyone I get in-person autographs from or see an autograph grade. This will depend on how nice they were, did they even sign, how many they signed, etc.

Autograph grade: A

Matt Carle

Sent on 11/26/08 and recieved 2/2 on 12/18/08. This one came back in under one month which is a great time. I really liked Matt Carle when he was with the Sharks. I liked him with the lightning too, but I guess he didn't just fit their system. It's too bad he went to the Flyers (one of my least favorite teams). Wish he could've gone to Pittsburgh. He would've been a great compliment to the talent that's already there. It was still nice of him to sign and personalize two photos for me. Sent to the Philadelphia Flyers. Images coming soon.

Rick Nash

Sent on 9/2/08 and recieved 1/1 on 12/15/08. I'm very happy to get this one back. I would have sent 1-2 more cards, but I had seen that Mr. Nash only signed one per request. I'll probably just mail to him again later this year. He signed with a dying black marker, but it still looks okay. This is just another great superstar to add to my collection. Speaking of superstars, this was a great return time. Most superstar players take a long time to respond, but a little more than 3 months isn't bad at all. Card was mailed to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Brian Lee

Sent on 11/26/08 and recieved 2/2 on 12/15/08. Mr. Lee is a Senators prospect. He was the 9th pick overall in the 2005 NHL Draft. He has played for the Senators for small parts of this year and last year. He's a great player that will be an NHL regular someday. I'm glad I got this back. When I sent this Mr. Lee was called up to briefly play for the Senators. Glad this didn't get lost in the shuffle of the mail. Mr. Lee personalized like I asked, which was really nice. Sorry about the white spots, but I erased my name from the scan. I really like the way the portrait style photo came out. I've sent a few of these, but this is the first to come back. Mailed to the Binghampton Senators.

Reggie Jackson

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Mr. Jackson signed 2/2 on 12/11/08 at the same private event as Willie Randolph and Jack Cust. This is one of the best autographs in my collection. Mr. Jackson was very nice too. He signed a card and an official Major League Baseball. He signed the ball on the sweet spot too, making it that much better. Truely an awesome autograph to have. "Mr. October" was such a great player.

Willie Randolph

Mr. Randolph signed 2/2 at a private event last night. This was the same event that Jack Cust was at. Mr. Randolph is an extremly nice man. He was very polite and showed everyone his World Series ring. It's too bad the Mets fired him. The Milwauke Brewers just hired him to be their bench coach. I wish him the best of luck with the Brewers. He also has an extremely nice signature.

Jack Cust

Signed 2/2 in person on 12/11/08. Jack Cust appeared at a private event last night. I didn't know he was going to be there, so I got his signature on two buisness cards. He was nice and happy to sign the cards. This is a great autograph. Mr. Cust is a good outfielder/DH for the A's.

Steve Slaton

Sent on 11/26/08 and recieved 2/2 on 12/11/08. I'm really happy to get this back. Mr. Slaton is a great running back who has a bright future in the NFL. Mr. Slaton has a very nice signature. It's very legiable. You can actually read everything that he wrote. It's nice that he takes the time to write a nice signature. Sent to the Houston Texans.

Paul Ranger

Sent on 11/29/08 and recieved 1/1 on 12/8/08. Only 9 days! I thought that it would come back quick, but not that quick! What a great return time. Mr. Ranger is a great player that I really enjoy to watch play. He's a great defenseman. The card looks great too. He signed the autograph on a great spot, personalized it, and it didn't bubble up the slightest bit. (Sometimes my autographs bubble up a little even though I rub the cards down with an eraser.) Sorry about the white spot. Mr. Ranger personalized my card like I asked. I took my name off the scan because I don't like to give away my name. Card was mailed to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Andrew Ladd

Today' mail brought an autograph from Andrew Ladd. Sent on 10/8/08 and recieved 1/1 on 12/8/08, exactly two months. Very nice autograph from Mr. Ladd. He is a player that I really enjoy to watch play. He even personalized the autograph, like I asked. Sorry about the big white spot. Mr. Ladd personalized this for me and I took my name off the image because I don't like to give it away. Card was mailed to the Chicago Blackhawks.

Patrick Eaves

Sent on 9/27/08 and recieved 2/2 on 12/4/08. Longer wait than what I expected, but still very pleased to see this one come back. Mr. Eaves is a really well rounded player. He scores, passes, hits, plays defensivly, and fights. Really Nice Autograph to get back. Scan really doesn't do this any justice. It looks far better in person. Mr. Eaves also signed a duplicate of the photo. Mailed to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Jussi Jokinen

Sent on 10/8/08 and recieved 1/1 back on 12/4/08. Just a little under two months, which is a great return time. I was very happy to recieve this in my mail today. Jussi Jokinen is a great player. I really enjoy to watch him play hockey. I think he is a great fit in Tampa Bay. It was smart of the Lightning's management to trade for him. I believe that this guy will score 35 to 40 goals in his prime. Pretty cool looking autograph. It was nice of Mr. Jokinen to put his old number 36 on my Dallas card. I know he's chaged numbers since arriving in Tampa. Not all players will write their old number. Cards were mailed to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

I have many more autographs than these, but too many to post. Many of my autographs include the New Jersey Devils from 06-08. I won't post any pictures of my collection (before this website) unless someone wants to see any. If you want to see any of these leave me a comment for which player you would like to see. I will post images on all my successes from here out.
