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.
