Lukas Kaspar
Lukas Kaspar signed 2/2 in person on 2/16/09. He signed 2 index cards. Many people felt Lukas Kaspar had far more potential. Some people think he could have been so much better. In my opinion I think he still has a chance to be great. He is still a young player and I think he has a a long career ahead of him. He was very nice, and he had some of the best manners that I have ever seen out of any pro athlete.

Devin Setoguchi

Devin Setoguchi signed 2/2 in person on 2/16/09. Mr. Setoguchi signed 2 cards for me. He signed one with someone elses marker, and one with my blue marker. His signatures on the cards look a bit different though. I wonder why? Oh well, I'm still very happy to add this future star's autograph.

Cristian Erhoff

Cristian Erhoff signed 2/2 in person on 2/16/09. He signed one card and one index card. It was nice of him to add his number 44 to one card. (He has since switched to number 10). I was very happy to add his autograph to my collection, because I think he has the potential to be an All Star.

Milan Michalek
Milan Michalek signed 2/2 in person on 2/16/09. I would call his autograph the nicest signature I've ever seen. Anyway, an autographs an autograph. Mr. Michalek is a good NHL forward playing on one of the Sharks' top lines. I'm very happy to get an autograph from a player with his hockey ability.

Jeremy Roenick

Jeremy Roenick signed 3/3 in person on 2/16/09. Wow talk about a nice guy. He made sure everybody got an autograph, signed multiples, and took time for photos. Most superstar palyers don't do this. He signed 3 cards for me. On one he used someone elses silver Sharpie and it actually turned out great, because itwas a Kings card. I'm really happy that I was able to get these, because I think this will be his last year in the league.

Rob Blake

Rob Blake signeed 2/2 in person on 2/16/09. This is a great autograph to add to my collection. Mr. Blake has been a great NHL defenseman for years now. The only bad thing about this success is that he used someone elses black Sharpie to sign. (Ughh, why couldn't it have been blue or even silver?) I'm still really pleased to get his autograph anyway.
Autograph Grade: C+ (Would've got a B- if he'd have just taken my blue sharpie:).)

Dan Boyle
Dan Boyle signed 1/1 in person on 2/16/09. He signed the same type of card he signed for me in the mail earlier this year. Mr. Boyle is a great NHL defenseman and he was an All Star this year. He is one of the reasons that the Sharks are so good this year. Another great thing about Dan Boyle is that he is good about signing autographs. He signed a lot in person, and I always see successes with him through the mail.

Patrick Marleau

Patrick Marleau signed 2/2 in person on 2/16/09. One card he signed with someone elses black marker, and the other (an 06-07 Fleer) he signed in blue. I'm really happy to get these cards signed by Mr. Marleau. He's been a great NHL player over his career and has been to the All Star Game. Hopefully, Mr. Marleau continues to have a great career.

Jonathan Cheechoo

Mr. Cheechoo signed 2/2 in person on 2/15/09. HE signed 2 cards, one of which was a 06-07 Fleer. That card ame out amazing. It looks so nice, and he signed it in a great spot. He signed for about half the fans trying to get autographs. Even though he only signed for half the fans, he signed a lot of autographs. The crowd was quite large. Mr. Cheechoo is the former winner of the Maurice "The Rocket" Richard Trophy as the league's leading scorer. He had 56 goals in 05-06. He hasn't scored quite that many this year, but he still continues to play well. Sorry the one card got sort of cut off. (I've just found a new way to do images so I'm experimenting with it.)

Alexander Frolov
Mr. Frolov signed 5/5 on 2/7/09. He signed 4 cards and one index card. He was really nice and signed tons of autographs. One of the cards he signed was another 06-07 Fleer Ultra. Mr. Frolov is a great player and a class act. He's definetly one of the nicest signers I've ever seen.

Kyle Calder
Kyle Calder signed 4/4 in person on 2/7/09. He signed 2 cards and 2 index cards. His autograph is nice too. Although not every letter, it is actually legible. One of the cards he signed was another 06-07 Fleer Ultra. I'm going to try and get these cards signed whenever I can now, because I think they look great. Mr. calder was nice and signed for everyone.

Michal Handzus
Mr. Handzus signed 2/2 in person on 2/7/09. He signed 2 cards. You would never know that this signature says Michal Handzus. It looks more like a P and an M. Even though it isn't the greatest signature, an autograph is an autograph. He was quiet and signed for some people really quickly.

Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson signed 3/3 in person on 2/7/09. He signed 2 cards and an index card. One of the cards came out great and the other bubbled up a little bit, but it still looks okay. This is a great autograph to have from a possible superstar in the future. He signed for everyone who wanted an autograph.

Rostislav Olesz
Sent on 1/2/09 and recieved 1/1 on 2/7/09. Mr. Olesz is a young player for the Florida Pnathers, that is a big part of the team's future. The card I sent came out signed very nicely. The card is from the 06-07 Fleer Ultra set, which in my opinion, is the nicest looking card to get signed. Card was sent to the Florida Panthers. I'll put images up once I get all my new autographs up on the website.

Johan Hedberg

Sent on 11/20/08 and recieved 2/2 on 2/5/09. I recieved Mr. Hedberg's autograph in-person earlier this year. I got it on an index card (I use index cards for players I don't have a card of). When I got back home I found that I did however have a card of him. I mailed it out along with a photo. The envelope in my mailbox today was pretty beat up. The phot is in pretty bad shape. It has some water marks and part of the envelope stuck to it. The card however is fine. I'd rather have the card be better anyway. Despite some damage, I'm pleased to get this one back. Sent to the Atlanta Thrashers.

Marcel Goc

Sent on 10/27/08 and recieved 1/1 on 2/3/09. This one took a little over 2 months to come back. Mr. Goc is a good center for the San Jose Sharks. He hasn't had his best year so far. He's played well, but has struggled to put points one the board. I wish him the best of luck the rest of the season. In 2006 he played for the German Hockey Team in the Olympics. This is my second Sharks success in two days. I've seen a lot of other recent San Jose successes. I guess all the Sharks are doing their mail now. Sent to the San Jose Sharks.

Dan Boyle
All right everyone, brace yourself for a story with this one. I originally sent an autograph request to Dan Boyle in October. A month later I opened my mailbox to find an envelope with my card from Dan Boyle. Once I opened it, I realized that Mr. Boyle personalized my card but did not sign it. I don't know exactly what went wrong with this one. I wrote back to him, and included a nice letter asking him if he could sign my card and answer my questions for him. Today I recieved my envelope back. This time he did sign my card and he answered my questions. I was really happy to get this back. Sent on 11/29/08 and recieved 1/1 on 2/2/09. Sent to the San Jose Sharks (both times). All right everyone, heres an update on my scanner issues. I've found out exactly what the problem is, and it's not my scanner. I'm having trouble loading the pictures to the website. This means once I fix the problem with my jpeg converter, we'll be good to go on images. Thanks to everyone for putting up with the problem for awhile.
