ADDY: C/O BOLTS


Edward Purcell is in his 5th full year at the NHL Level and is currently a winger for the Tampa Bay Lightning.  I sent Teddy a Victory rookie card and this was one of the first TTM's I ever sent and I later figured out really the best way to send them after trial and error and Teddy's TTM was not sent properly and it came back a little beat up.  Teddy signed the card in Silver ink witch on the black card looks really nice.  He also inscribed the card with his number 16.  Good return nice card and sig just wish I knew then what I know now about how to send the TTM so it returns in great shape.  Thank you Mr. Purcell.

Jordin Tootoo the  98th overall pick in the 2001 draft has been a career long winger for the Predators.  Jordin only 5 foot 9 inches is always working hard every shift and really likes to throw the body around, pretty much the whole preds team style I guess.  Jordin inscribed his Number 22 and both auto turned out great and cards in mint condition.  Thank you Mr. Tootoo

TOTAL DAYS:  10!! 
ADDY: C/O Flyer's Skate Zone


Matt Read played his college hockey at BSU in Minnesota.  He was undrafted and signed as a free agent with the Flyer.  It is safe to say that Read is having a great rookie season with 22 goals and 22 helpers and is a big part of the success that the Flyers have been having this season.  Both rookie cards came back in perfect condition and both were inscribed with his number 24.  It is safe to say this is probably my best Rookie card return (maybe a little Minnesota biased lol).  Matt is going to have a great career if he continues to improve on his great freshmen season.  Thank you Mr. Read!

Scott Clemmenson the Iowa native has had a 11 year career between the pipes and is currently backing up Jose Theodore for the Panthers.  He did a good job when Jose went down hurt this year in keeping his team in playoff contention.  All three cards came back in great condition.  I think the marker he used was a little dry ether way good return also inscribed each different jersey number according to the card (NJ and FLA).  Thank you Mr. Clemmensen.

Rick is one of my favorite goalies. The FIRST overall pick in 2000 is currently hurt. I am a big Islanders fan (from MN and didnt always have a team and will NEVER cheer for the STARS they unless they are the NORTH STARS).  This is my second attempt, the first one was sent to his home and was a write off.  This next one was to the Practice facility and only took 12 days ! WOW.  This is a great return if not my best!  Rick inscribed "To Rob, All my best" along with his 39.  Both cards came back in great shape and the Auto is perfect. Great return!! THANK you Mr. DiPietro (get healthy and back to stopping the rubber!)

This was a very fast return from a very talented young player who is figuring out how to play in the NHL.  Nino has under performed his expectations but I really think he will become a first round draft pick type player in the future.  Nino was taken 5th overall in the 2010 darft.  I was pumped about this return only thing it he used a really thick marker or just really pushed hard lol im not sure but still a nice return.  Nino inscribed " To Rob, All The Best" along with his number.  Thanks alot Mr. Niederreiter.

ADDY: Alabama address  




1993 Hall of Famer Mr. Steve Shutt was the 4th overall pick in the 1972 draft.  In his 14 year NHL Career mostly with the Habs he had over 800 points!  Mr. Shutt inscribed his number along with addressing the card to  Rob.  This card came back in great shape,  I really think i am going to start buying all O-Pee-Chee cards for TTM-ing based on the cards need no prepping and they sign great and hold up like a champ.  I regret not having him put HOF 1993 but still this is a great return from an all time great of the NHL.  Thank you Mr. Shutt.

ADDY: C/O AGENT

This Is my best Return as of yet!  I have to give credit where it is due for help on the ADDY (Thanks Michael) for this TTM.  Mr. Zetterberg is one of the Great Forwards in the NHL.  All Rookie Team in '03, Conn Smythe '08.  Zetterberg was drafted 210th overall by the WINGs in 1999.  He was been one of the backbones for WINGs hockey for a long time and has had a great career so far and still getting it done with almost 60 points so far with about a month left in the season.  This auto turned out great, this is not a stamp as you can tell each auto is not exactly the same, and checks out against his other certified autos.  Great Pick UP! Only a 18 day wait! Thank you Mr. Zetterberg!

Scott Hartnell is one of my all time favorites.  This year himself and the Flyers are leading the league in Power Play scoring and OPPs, and I think its safe to say that Scotty Heartbreak is the master of the power play in the NHL this year.  Gotta love the hair was and was pumped to see him at the All-Star game this year in Ottawa.  All three cards came out great.  Scott signed them all in black sharpie.  Good return! Thank you Mr. Hartnell.

Solid and sound defensive defenseman for the PENs.  Lovejoy was signed as a Rookie free agent in 2008.  The card was signed in Blue sharpie also inscribing his number 6.  This Rookie card came back without and nicks or marks! The new setup for SASE envelopes that really works, this was one of the first TTMs I used it on.  I think after the shape of the return I am going to have to stick with it!  Thanks Mr. Lovejoy, Pens are on a roll right now as we approach the end of the regular season.  Looking to make a Cup run.

Dmitri is a young Russian defenseman who is currently playing with the

Florida Panthers(on IR right now) who are sitting in the drivers seat in the Southeast and 3rd in the Eastern Conference.  He was drafted 14^th overall in 2009 by Florida.  He singed a Victory Rookie card with ballpoint pen.  The card got a little beat up on its journey back to the Midwest but still a good return from a good young player.  Thank you much Dmitry.  I guess now I am a Kulikov fan for life.
