Fastest and best success I had ever had. I sent this with a sase, lor, letter and a $2 donation and it said that you have to put in a $5 donation not knowing tell after I sent it out. He was so kind enough to put my two dollars back in and also signed my card and wrote H.H.O.F 1961 #15 with a short note on my letter. I think he might be the oldest hockey player alive still. Thanks a lot Mr. Schmidt!!!!!!!!!

LOve the autograph. Still a long website success but it was worth a wait. Propp scored 425 regular season goals and 64 playoff goals. If i was a coach of a team back then i would want to get this guy on my team because he scores a lot of goals and points plus he doesn't really get penalties and he only has 963 penalties minutes in all of his career when he played 20 seasons.

Holmes won the 2005 PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament. He tied for tenth in his first PGA Tour start at the 2006 Sony Open in Hawaii and in February that year he won the FBR Open, making him the fastest golfer to reach $1,000,000 in career earnings on the PGA Tour. It was his fifth tournament as a professional and his fourth on the PGA Tour. On February 3, 2008, Holmes won the FBR Open for the second Tour win of his career and also captured the tournament title for the second time in three years. Starting the final round with a four shot lead, on the 18th tee he was one shot behind Phil Mickelson. Holmes birdied the 18th to force a play-off and then defeated Mickelson on the first playoff hole (the 18th) by making a six-foot birdie putt after a 359 yard drive. This victory took Holmes to 62nd in the Official World Golf Ranking and in April 2008 he reached the top 50 of the world rankings for the first time. Holmes, along with fellow 2006 rookies such as Camilo Villegas and Bubba Watson, is known for hitting the ball long distances, in excess of 300 yards (312.7 yards, ranking him number 2 in driving distance, only 6 yards behind the leader, Watson). As such, he plays courses by routinely hitting his driver as far as he can, reminiscent of John Daly's "Grip it and Rip It" philosophy, and using his distance advantage to put him closer to the green and in position for a wedge or short iron to the green. While the style of play is not new, many critics have complained that J.B. Holmes's style has ushered in a new wave of golfers dedicated to smashing the ball as far as they can, assisted by the newer golf equipment offered by golf club companies and hacking the ball out of the rough onto the green, effectively eliminating the equalizing effect that the sport of golf usually affords shorter, accurate hitters. Holmes also had brain surgery on 9/01/11. In the 2008 Ryder Cup, Holmes defeated Europe's Søren Hansen 2&1 during Sunday's singles matches to bring the United States within one point of clinching the Ryder Cup. Holmes nicely signed a card in silver sharpie marker.

Retired player. Currently the goalie goalie coach for the Phoenix Coyotes.

Fan letter sent: 3/23/12
Autographs received: 4/05/12
Ratio: 5/5
Duration: 13 days
Address: c/o Phoenix Coyotes


Sean Burke signed all my cards and even personalized them. Burke was drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the second round of the 1985 NHL Entry Draft. Burke went from the Olympics to the Devils. He started 11 games for the Devils in the 1987–88 NHL season, including an overtime victory against the Chicago Blackhawks on the final night of the season that qualified the Devils for their first playoff series. Burke helped the Devils go on a playoff roll, defeating the division-leader New York Islanders in the first round in six games and then the Washington Capitals in seven games. Burke was one game away from the Stanley Cup Finals but lost in Game 7 of the Wales Conference finals to the Boston Bruins.
Because he played just 11 games in the 1987–88 regular season, he maintained his rookie status for the next season. The next season, Burke was elected into the NHL All-Star Game, becoming the first rookie goaltender to play in the All-Star game.
These cards are nicely signed in Blue Sharpie Marker. Thanks Mr. Burke!

Nice success from former bruin Don Cherry. I even like his nickname "grapes". At a old age Don still works for CBC Television. Cherry also coached the Bruins starting with Bobby Orr's final 93 games as a bruin.He is also well known as an author, radio commentator for The Fan Radio Network, creator of the Rock'em Sock'em Hockey video series.
Cherry's younger brother, Dick Cherry played hockey at various levels, including two seasons in the National Hockey League with the Philadelphia Flyers. Cherry played junior hockey with the Barrie Flyers and the Windsor Spitfires in the Ontario Hockey Association. Cherry won the Memorial Cup as a defenceman with Barrie in 1953. He dropped out of high school, and in 1954 he signed with the American Hockey League's Hershey Bears. Cherry had a long playing career in professional minor hockey, and in 1955 played his only NHL game when the Boston Bruins called him up during the playoffs. According to Cherry, a baseball injury suffered in the off season kept him from making the NHL despite his almost 20 years playing in the minor leagues. He retired as a player in 1970. Cherry also added a extra postcard of him when he was coaching the Colorado Rockies:


Cherry Nicely signed my card in Silver Sharpie Marker and my postcard that he through in.

Great success.

Sweet return from former Canadien Henri Richard. He signed my paper and added to photos. fastest turnaround I had ever had. 12 days!!!!!!!
Can you believe it! For the 30th best hockey player in the world. Great guy. Awesome autographs. He was the brother of hockey legend Maurice 'The Rocket' Richard and consequently, because he was 15 years younger and three inches shorter, he was given the nickname The Pocket-Rocket. These photos are nicely signed in Blue Sharpie Marker. One of them are signed in Blue Sharpie Marker.Although the Rocket shot left (left hand lower on the stick), Henri shot right. Maurice played off wing and Henri played center. Throughout, the two brothers' style of play was quite different. Henri led the league in assists in 1957–58 and 1962–63, a feat never matched by his famous brother.Henri won 11 Stanley Cups, more than any other player in NHL history. Former teammate and predecessor as team captain Jean Béliveau has 17 Stanley Cup titles, but only 10 as a player (the other 7 as an executive.) So far I think this might be my best autograph yet. Probably going to send 1 more. Richard also signed my ic's
