Arron Asham


Arron Asham (1-1)
RECEIVED: 8-20-12
TOTAL DAYS: 54
ADDY: C/O Home

Arron Asham was drafted 71st overall in the 1996 NHL draft.  Asham is currently a member of the New York Rangers.  July 1st the Rangers signed the free agent to a two year deal.  As soon as Asham plays his first game with the Blue shirts he have will played with every team in the Atlantic Division.  Asham is mostly a 3rd to 4th Line player now days, known for his big hitting, a big shot, no nonsense hockey that will fit right in with John Tortorella's style and oh ya he is not afraid to drop the gloves.  I sent Arron a Pittsburgh jersey crest since he was apart of the Pens at the time I sent the crest.  Asham was kind enough to sign it perfectly and return it back to me.  Thank you Mr. Asham.

DATE SENT:     2-22-12

TOTAL DAYS:   16
ADDY: C/O PENs


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.
