Karl Alzner

Sent on 11/26/08 and recieved 2/2 on 1/26/09, exactly 2 monthes later. Wow, I really thought that I wasn't going to get this back. A few days after I sent this Mr. Alzner was called up to play for the Capitals. I was really excited to see this come back! Mr. Alzner personalized the 2 photos I sent, like I asked. It was also nice of him to write "Best Wishes" and "All the Best" on the photos too. I really appreciate that. He was the 5th overall pick in 2007. Entering the season, he was the 5th best NHL prospect. I hope Mr. Alzner continues to have a good year. Mailed to the Hershey Bears (Capital's AHL affiliate). Sorry to all who follow this blog, but I'm still having trouble uploading images of my autographs. I'm having problems converting them to jpeg, so the website will accept them. As usual, I hope to resolve the problem soon.

John Leclair

Sent on 1/14/09 and recieved 1/1 on 1/20/09. Only 6 days and 2 of those days the post office was closed! 6 days ties my shortest wait ever. He used to destroy my Devils and Penguins for years. I was pretty happy when he joined the Penguins at the end of his career. This is a great autograph to have. Mr. Leclair was a three-time 50 goal scorer. Card was mailed to Mr. Leclair's home. I'm guessing a bunch of people will want this address. If anyone wants it leave me a comment with your email and I'll send it to you. Please leave me another comment to let me know if you got my email, as I think some of my emails haven't been sending.

Tuomo Ruutu

Sent on 10/25/08 and recieved 1/1 on 1/20/09. Mr. Ruutu signed my hockey card in a little under three months. Not the greatest looking signature, but an autograph's an autograph. If Mr. Ruutu stays healthy and plays well, he may be on course for a 30 goal season. Mr. Ruutu seems to be a good signer through the mail, as this is not the first success I've seen of him. Cards were mailed to the Carolina Hurricanes. Look for images soon. I think I've finally fixed my month long scanner issues!

Steve Slaton

Sent on 12/22/08 and recieved 1/1 on 1/16/08. I'm really happy to get this back. I mailed to Mr. Slaton just a month or so ago. I wouldn't have sent to him again, but I aquired a card of him. I really wanted to send the card because last time I sent photos. It took only a little under a month to come back! Last times return was only a week or so shorter. This is agreat return from a future star in the NFL. Card was mailed to the Houston Texans. Sorry still having some trouble posting images! I think I'm close to fixing this though!

Colby Armstrong

Sent on 10/25/08 and recieved 1/1 on 1/8/09. Today's mail brought back an autograph from Colby Armstrong. This is my first autograph of 2009. I actually recieved Mr. Armstrong's autograph in-person shortly after I mailed. this. I'm really happy to get this back, even though I already got his autograph in-person. I was pretty happy to see this in my mailbox today, being as I thought this would take a long time to come back. I had seen another success that took over a year. This roughly took only 2 and a half months. Mr. Armstrong has a very bright future in the NHL and I wish him all the best with the rest of his career. Card was mailed to the Atlanta Thrashers. Sorry still no scans. I actually worked out half the problem. My scanner is better, but I'm still working on my jpeg converter. I hope to fix this in a few days. Sorry for the wait!
