Sorry about the pictures

Hey everyone. Sorry there aren't any pictures right now. There will be sometime soon I hope. I've been having problems with my PC (which is hooked up to my scanner) so I have to fix that before I get some pictures up. For now, I'll post via my laptop. Sorry about this!

Carolina Hurricanes

I was lucky enough to hound the 'Canes 4 times. Once I get the overall count of autographs I'll finish up this post.

Bobby Bonilla

Sent on 4/6/09 and recieved 1/1 on 4/24/09. This is my second success with Bobby B. He was a hot swinging feilder that played for my favorite team, the Pirates in the 90's. He was one of my favorite players when I was younger. Mr. Bonilla is one of the most reliable signers in all of sports. Card was mailed to Mr. Bonilla's home.

Mike Sillinger

Sent on 4/6/09 and recieved 1/1 on 4/23/09. Mr. Sillinger has been on a few teams to say the least. I think he may hold the record for most different NHL teams played for. Anyway, he signed one card, an 06-07 Fleer Ultra, for me very quickly. I'm very happy because the card looks great. Card was mailed to Mr.Sillinger's home.

Ian Snell

Sent on 4/6/09 and recieved 1/1 on 4/22/09. Wow, another great return. I'm really happy to get this card back because the Bucco's are my favoorite. Ian Snell is a great pitcher for the pirates. However, his record doesn't show it since he doesn't get much run support. Mr. Snell has always been very nice In-person too. Card was mailed to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Jay Bouwmeester

Sent on 3/5/09 and recieved 2/2 on 4/21/09. Mr. Bouwmeester is a great player and an even better signer. He quickly signed and returned 2 cards to me, as he has done for so many others. He's a great defenseman that will be a free agent this summer. I'd love to see him end up with the Devils, as I feel he would bring a great presense to the Devils blueline. He signed the cards in a good spot, so that the signature can be seen. Cards were mailed to the Florida Panthers.

Kari Lehtonen

Sent on 2/3/09 and recieved 2/2 on 4/16/09. I sent these 2 cards to Kari c/o the Thrashers Practice Rink. Anybody who needs the address let me know. It was very nice of him to sign and return 2 cards to me in 2 months time. He didn't use the greatest marker, but I'm not ccomplaining. They still look great!

Alexei Yashin

Sent on 7/29/09 and recieved 2/4 on 4/16/09. Wow, my longest wait to date. Mr. Yashin signed 2 cards for me c/o his home address. He played in Russia this season, so that's why it took awhile. He had a great NHL career split between the Senators and the Islanders. I wish him the best of luck with the rest of his pro career in Russia.

Joe Smith

Sent on 3/11/09 and recieved 1/1 on 4/6/09. Mr. Smith signed 1 card for c/o Indians Spring Training. He was previously with the Mets, but he is now with the Indians. He's a good, submarine style, relief pitcher. I think Joe Smith will continue to have a great career.
