Hey guys. New to this site. Figured I would chime in here.
Name of sports team you collect?
Chicago Blackhawks
Which sport/competition does your team play in?
NHL
Total number of autographs you have from your team? (including multiples of the same player)
(estimate) 40
Number of individual players/coaches autographs from that team (ie not including multiples from the same player/coach)?
(estimate) 35
Your favourite autograph in your collection from your team & why?
Andrew Shaw Game Used Skates from 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Extremely rare item to have. When I got them, I did not know when they were used. I went to get them autographed by him and he told me they were the ones he wore through the entire playoffs when they won the Stanley Cup.
Whose autograph do you most want that you are yet to get from you team?
Patrick Kane
Oldest autograph?
Eric Daze (about 1995)
Most signatures on a single item?\
13 - Full sized helmet
Most expensive autograph?
$80 - Duncan Keith
What do you get signed? (trading cards, posters, balls, guernseys, index cards etc)
I started with photos (usually 8x10). As my collection has grown, I have tried to find more unique items. Game used items are my favorite, but they are extremely hard to get an expensive. Lately I have liked doing equipment with multiple autos.
How do you get your autographs?
Sponsored signings, usually. I used to go to their practice facility and catch them in the parking lot, but they stopped allowing that.
Strangest item you've had signed by a team member?
Game used hockey socks - Dennis Savard
Longest TTM wait for a success?
The only time I ever tried TTM is when I was much younger (early 90s), and not for this team. I don't recall how long it took, but I got a care package including a few signatures from the Houston Rockets (NBA).
How do you display/store you teams autograph collection?
In the process of finishing my basement where I will be displaying everything on the walls. Currently in a spare bedroom/packed away safe.
Would you be interested in trading with other fan mail.biz members to expand your team autograph collection?
Possibly. I usually prefer getting items signed in person, but there are always exceptions.
