Viktor Tikhnov – Phoenix (NHL)

Today’s mail ended an incredibly long drought.  I received 4/4 signed cards from Phoenix Coyotes forward Viktor Tikhnov.  It took 230 days, but I won’t complain when I get the cards back.

Max Pacioretty – Hamilton (AHL)

Max Pacioretty signed 2/3 through the Hamilton Bulldogs in 147 days.  He sent me back someone else’s custom, but that’s no big deal.  He also added a signed 8×10, wrote a letter, and sent back my SASE with a note on it saying “Save this stamp.”  Awesome success.  I had kind of written this one off, because he has been bouncing back and forth between Montreal and Hamilton all season.   He placed the letter, picture and signed custom in a manilla folder before mailing everything out in his own envelope as well.

Brett Sonne – Calgary (WHL)

Brett Sonne signed 1/2 (he kept a copy of the World Junior custom card, as I offered) in 38 days through the Calgary Hitmen.  I am slowly making progress getting these cards signed.  Sonne marks my third, out of 22 guys on the team.

Simeon Varlamov – Hershey (AHL)

Simeon Varlamov signed 2/2 cards through the Hershey Bears in 39 days.  Great response from the future Washington Capitals netminder.  He signed two cards I needed for my sets.

Felix Potvin – Midget Team

Felix Potvin signed 2/2 through the Midget Team he coaches in Quebec. This took 113 days. He has a great signature.

Cody Goloubef – Wisconsin (NCAA)

Cody Goloubef signed 2/4 (he kept a copy of each of the custom cards) in 25 days through the University of Wisconsin Athletic Department address.

Yann Sauve – Saint John (QMJHL)

Jordan Schroeder – Minnesota (NCAA)

Jordan Schroeder signed 2/4 through the University of Minnesota in 134 days.

Linden Rowat – Regina (WHL)

Linden Rowat signed 1/1 through the Regina Pats in 12 days.  He also added a short note.

Jamie Arniel – Sarnia (OHL)

Jamie Arniel signed 4/4 through the Sarnia Sting in 17 days. Nice looking signature and it knocked off a couple cards for some sets.
