Tyler Ennis

Today I finally recieved my prize from the Sabres for the contest I won on Twitter. They sent me this awesome puck signed by Forward Tyler Ennis which turned out very cool! Thanks Buffalo Sabres!

Cody Hodgson

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Sabres forward Cody Hodgson. I had debated on getting a ticket to meet Coho but decided to after great production from him and also the fact that I realized he was a free agent this coming summer. Since the Sabres have a tendcy of letting good players go, I decided to head out and meet Cody just to play it safe since I hadn't met him yet. Great guy to meet and hope I get to meet him again because I'd love to get my Manitobia Moose AHL yearbook signed by him! I met him at the new Dave and Adam's Outlet Store which is connectected to their warehouse.

Steve Young

Was very suprised when I recieved this autograph in the mail yesterday as Steve Young was a great quaterback. To my suprise the autograph is also hand signed, not auto pen or pre-print! Awesome return!

New Jersey Devils/ Martin Brodeur Fan Pack

 

The other day I recieved this picture from the Devils since I requested a Brodeur autograph and this is what was sent. The autograph on the picture doesn't look real but the one on the note looks ligit. The note itself says it is his latest autographed card so it sounds real. Im not sure but either way it's still really cool.

Tim Connolly

So my friend's sister plays hockey and recieved this card at her banquet. She didn't want it so he gave it to her brother. Her brother not being a hockey fan gave to me and I gladly accepted it into my autograph collection. It is the first card Connolly has signed for a company as stated on the back of the card.

Ted Lindsay Interview (Via TTM)

When I sent Ted Lindsay card to be signed, I added a few questions for Ted to answer and he kindly did and signed the page at the bottom. Here is our mini interview with Red Wings Legend, Ted Lindsay:

 

MJMB: What was your greatest hockey memory?

TL: Just to play for the greatest team there is.

 

MJMB: What was it like to play with Gordie Howe?

TL: I always thought and still do think he was the greatest.

 

MJMB: Out of the 4 Stanley Cups you won, which was the most memorable?

TL: The 1st was great, the 2nd one great great, the 3rd great, great, great the forth great, great, great, great. Josh there are so many wonderful things with each one.

 

Thanks again to Mr. Lindsay, this was extremally awesom and well appreciated. I can't wait to frame that interview!  

Ted Lindsay TTM

The other day I recieved a TTM from Red Wings Legend Ted Lindsay. I was very impressed that "Terrible Ted" did TTM and the speed of the return. The Autograph is clearly hand signed so it's even cooler. I only sent the card and Ted was kind enough to send the signed pamhlet also! He answered a few questons also and the interview will be posted next! Both signatures were inscribed with "HHOF '66."

Scotty Bowman TTM

 

 

The other day I recieved an awesome TTM. It came from the NHL's all-time winnigest coach, Scotty Bowman. This is an awesome TTM return as he signed all 6 items sent. He signed two pictures, both inscribed with "'HHOF '91" and the black picture also was inscribed with "12x Stanley Cup Champion" Bowman also kindly signed two cards and two index cards. Also in the letter I asked, "What are your thoughts on the firing of Lindy Ruff?" His response was short but very informing by saying "Not Pleased." Thanks Mr. Bowman!

John Scott

Last week  had the pleasure of meeting Sabres enforcer John Scott at Dave And Adam's Card World. He was very kind and signed this 8x10 for me. Hope to see him more on the ice the rest of this season.

Gary Bettman

The other day I recieved a signed picture from NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. I sent this out over a year ago and barley remember sending it but still pretty cool to get it after the start of the shortened NHL season. Not a huge fan of him but his autograph still is a nice new addition.

Bucky Dent

So one of my mom's coworkers' uncle is former Yankee all-star Bucky Dent. Knowing I'm a huge Yankees fan, she had her son send me this back from Florida. It's a mini Louisville Slugger bat from his baseball school signed by the legend with the inscription "78 W.S. MVP" Dent is known for his homerun in the tiebreaker game in 78 against the Red Sox. He is a 3x All-Star and a 2x World Series Champion. Truly a legend!

For free it is a great set. Can't wait until next years.

Scott Norwood

I managed to find a signed photo of the man who crashed all the dreams of the '91 Bills by kicking the feild goal wide right. Dave and Adam's was selling this signed Norwood picture and I decided to add it to my collection.

Ryan Fitzpatrick

I bought this signed photo of Fitz at the Dave and Adam'd Black Friday sale for only $10. Yes Fitz is bad but I still wanted it for my collection.

Steve Ott

 

 

As soon as the NHL annouced there would be a season this year, Dave and Adam's went right out and booked newest Sabre Steve Ott for a signing. He was a great pleasure and definetaly gave a great imppresion. He's a great follow on twitter too. Follow him @ottern9ne

Joel Skinner and Richard Dotson

While attending Buffalo Bisons vs Charlotte Knights baseball game, I met formor Yankees Joel Skinner and Richard Dotson. Both of them were part of the Knights coaching staff. They were both very kind and were the first New York Yankees I ever met.

Dan Prowse A.K.A. Darth Vader

Back when the Summit Park Mall was open, Omega Sports held a Star Wars party. The man who played Darth Vader, Dan Prowse was on hand for autographs. I was able to attend this party unexpectedily so I bought this card of Darth Vader at the event. He was very kind and we talked for quite awhile. Being a huge fan of Star Wars, I enjoyed this moment a lot.

Ilya Kovalchuk

My friend went to the hotel where the devils were staying before a game and got some signatures. I asked her to try and get me Brodeur and Kovalchuk. Marty was a shut out as expected but she still managed to get me a signed Kovalchuk card. Great peice of my collection.

Dale Hawerchuk

I had the pleasure of meeting the great Dale Hawerchuk at the Sabres Game when he was inducted into the Sabres Hall of Fame. He was very kind and signed these 4 cards for me. A night I'll never forget.

Thomas Vanek

At the start of Vanek's career, I wasn't all for him. But after his hot start this year, I'm starting to have more respect for him. I managed to build up my signed card collection him because my dad works at a furnaiture store and Thomas has stopped in there a few times. The bottom card, Glacial Graphs, came out of a pack and is f season. It was defentially a nice pull for anyone especially me as a Sabres fan.

Robyn Regehr

When I met Regehr, he seemed pretty overwhelled. It was his first practice as a Sabre and as a result, everybody wanted to meet him. To handle the situation, he would only sign 1 item per person, still a great signature, hope to meet him again.

Mark Mancari

               Mancari was a great pleasure to meet, this was the only occassion I met him.

Tyler Ennis

Over the multiple occassions I've met Tyler Ennis, I've managed to have 6 Cards signed of "Ennis the Mennis"

Larry Playfair

Over the years I have met Sabres legend Larry Playfair multiple times. He has always been a pleasure and I always look forward to meeting him again.

 

CCM All-American Prospects Game

While attending the first ever CCM All-American Prospects Game at the First Niagara Center, I had pleanty of autograph opportunities following the game. Hockey Hall of Famer and former Sabre Phil Housley and Miracle on Ice legend and former Sabre Rob McClannahan were coaches for the game. I got 2 cards signed by McClannahan (Silver also says "Gold '80") and 3 cards signed by Housley. Also to sign my game program was Anthony Louis and Frank Vatrano.
