I Know It's Been Awhile...


But I broke my computer for good. I will be getting a new one so I can update my blogs more often. This post was sponsored by SportsMemorabilia.com. If you need to get someone a special gift for the holiday season (not Hanukkah because it's over) SportsMemorabilia.com is the one-stop shop for sports memorabilia fans. They have an extensive collection of autographed and unsigned memorabilia for all your favorite athletes and teams. Is your significant other a Paul Holmgren fan, or maybe just a fan of the 1983-84 O-Pee-Chee set? Better act quick because this item is hot!

Keith Primeau

Keith Primeau 1998-99 Aurora Championship Fever
Keith is a now retired former Flyer captain. Prior to that, he had played for Carolina (pictured) and Detroit. He was a great player and it's a shame his career, like so many others, was ended early due to injury.

Bob Beers

Bob Beers 1991-92 Pinnacle
Bob Beers' rookie card from Pinnacle. He has a really nice sig, no number though. I got this signed at the Utica Cops game at the Utica Aud, another event put on by Rob Esche.

Martin Biron

Martin Biron 2002-03 Top Shelf
I like this 'graph, as it has to circles with a 'B' in one and has his 43 for which he is the best to ever wear. Biron played for the Flyers for three seasons. He was the starter in Philly's comeback season of 07-08. I have a painting of players from that season in my fan cave. I will put it up on Philly Phan some time in the future. Biron now backs up Lundqvist in New York. That move will assure Lundqvist more than a seven game rest this season.

Jochen Hecht

Jochen Hecht Picture
I purchased this at my first hockey game, in Buffalo, in 2004. Hecht is one of Germany's best players ever. He really hasn't had that special of a career. If there was a table of autos, you wouldn't be able to know which one is Hecht's, so it's not written great, but he's German so give him a break.

Craig Conroy

Craig Conroy 2003-04 Upper Deck
Craig was at the Turning Stone and the Utica Police hockey game at the Utica Memorial Auditorium. This was signed at the Game of Pigs, I mean Cops. I have more of Conroy's autographs to come...

Mark Recchi

1996-97 Pacific Paramount Mark Recchi
Mark is still kickin' it in the league. He has become a journeyman in the past few seasons. With 3 Cups to his name along with being the highest game, assist, and point scorer still active. He has the second most goals and power play goals among active players behind Teemu Selanne. He's 13th in points all-time and a sure fire future Hall of Famer. I got this signed at the casino.

Tom Fitzgerald

Tom Fitzgerald 2000-01 Topps
This autograph was smudged in the process of insertification of the plastic holder. I do like how he puts his number inside of his 'g'. Tom was a journeyman, playing for a number of teams in his career. He is quite a nice guy and also signed my sheet and backpack. Fitzgerald retired a few years back.

Daniel Briere

Daniel Briere 2002-03 Piece of History
I am not a big fan of Briere. In saying that I will add that I never liked him with Buffalo, and I still don't think he's redeemed himself. Anyway, This was signed at a softball game for the local boys in blue: Put together of course, by Robert Esche, Whitesboro's golden boy. Briere also signs with his number, 48, which he was named the best player to ever wear (NHL.com).

Tom Poti

Tom Poti 2003-04 Upper Deck All-Star Class
He used a faulty red sharpie, but he put #3 instead of just 3, which is cool. If not for the sharpie, Poti has a neat sig. "Cruncher" is playing for Washington now. Guess where I got this one.

Shawn McEachern

Shawn McEachern 1998-99 Aurora.
Another card signed at the Turning Stone Signing.

I've always liked the autos with numbers. It's kind of scribbly, but it's an autograph of a pro hockey player.

McEachern threw my sister a puck over the glass at one of the charity games.

Jamie Langenbrunner

Jamie Langenbrunner 2001-02 Be A Player.
I got this signed in person at the casino where my dad works before a charity tourney that hometown favorite Rob Esche put together during the lock-out. I got many cards, a slice of paper (everyone) and a backpack (everyone) signed. Oh, and a hat (everyone).

Mark Mowers


Mark Mowers comes from the same place as Robert Esche and... me. He came to my local rink a while back (I think he was owned by Anaheim) and I got to skate with him. There was a camera crew there and I whispered to my friend to spray the camera. I think they heard me. They moved the camera after I said it, but I still was on the news, well the local news (It wasn't CNN's top priority at the time). Anyway I got this puck signed in person. I got it in Boston in the fifth grade when I went on the Whale Watch. That was fun, people puking left and right, me passing in and out because of some medicine my mom gave me. Freakin' Rami Salami, the creepy clown of Boston Market. Ah, memories.

Special

MY COMPUTER IS FIXED.
I would like my first post to be special and I can't quite seem to remember my first auto. So... I've decided to put a gift I got from a cool guy, or so I thought. My computer is retarted and I've been on safe mode for the past week, so I can't scan the picture.
2000-01 Upper Deck Vintage #263 Simon Gagne

normally I would have a picture but safe mode wont let me scan anything. It's a rather nice card/autograph, big, not that legible, number underneath. Here's the story.
Aunt's boyfriend is a Flyers fan. He's nice. He gave me the card. I'm pretty sure he got it in '06 because he has pictures with some guys from that year.

First Post

This is my blog for autographs I get in packs, in person, or TTM (through-the-mail). I don't have many autographs yet, but through the course of the next few years I will be sending a lot of fan letters to some Flyers and others.
