There is finally a method to my madness, I collect Flames, past or present, and any of the players we have met in our travels.

Jersey Cards and 1 BE A PLAYER, Sundin, Primeau

This card was signed at a Saskatoon Blades Game in the early 90's. Tyler is a old buddy of mine, signed it after a game. We knew nothing about autographs so it was signed in a very poor marker. But almost 20 years, still visible.


Zellers deal, buy 1 box and guaranteed to get 1 jersey card and 3 packs. Not bad...
Keith Primeau and Sean Burke, both Upper Deck.

Pulled from a box from Zellers, one of the bulk packs I guess. '06 Fleer I believe.
Mats Sundin
From BAP 07-08 David Perron and Between the Pipes 'Future Stars' Steve Mason.

Gordie Howe Signed Pro Set 90-91

Signed at a Mall in Saskatoon in the early 90's. We had nothing to get signed to got some paper for signing. Some kids came to the door but were not let in. I said if they gave me one of their cards, I would get them signed. Worked!

Henri Richard Signed Montreal Canadiens Card

Another from my friend Sal @

Gaston Gingras Montreal Candiens Card

$5 at an Oldtimers Game. Gaston is a great guy, I wish I bought more.

Theoren Fluery Signed Upper Deck 90-91

Signed at the Russell Bar in Russell Manitoba, Canada. I was buddies with Theo's younger brother so I snagged this in 1991.

Tyler Wright Signed Cards


Tyler is an old buddy of mine, so I saw these on ebay and bought them, knowing that it is his signature.

Be A Player Upper Deck Robyn Regehr


Upper Deck 08-09

Brett Hull Signed OPC Rookie Copy

This was a TTM success from about 15 years ago.

Kent Nilsson Signed Flames Card



This is the second item Coffey has signed for me TTM. Awesome! This is the exact card I tried to get signed at the Juno Cup in 2006.

Theoren Fluery Signed OPC Rookie

I actually knew Theo from years ago, he is from a town near my home town. As a kid, we never bothered asking guys who played on the NHL for autographs, Kelly Buchberger, Theo, Jeff Odgers. Now as a collector the chances are not as easy as they once were. Theo and Doug Gilmour did a signing in Calgary for Bossa Productions on April 4 and 5. I managed to get someone to get a whole bunch of stuff signed, there was a cost but worth it. Theo's rookie card from 89-90 was a neat item. And last not but least of the Flames items; a signed Gilmour Flames puck.

Be a Player Luke Schenn Signed UD Card

While wondering through my favorite sport memorabilia store today, I picked up some supplies and the new Insider Magazine. Upper Deck has a new line of Be a Player Signature packs, a little pricey but I tried one. I walked out and opened it, Pronger, Phanuef no signed card yet...JACKPOT....Luke Schenn. I giggled and walked back to the store to show my new prize off. I noticed a huge difference in this signature and his 'ebay ones' (look in my puck section). Sad from a local guy.

BAP Bryan Allen& Manny Malhotra



I tried another pack of BAP cards at my favorite hobby shop yesterday. :( First pull was Bryan Allen of the Florida Panthers, second pack was Manny Malhotra of the Columbus Blue Jackets. My first pull two weeks ago was a Luke Schenn. hmmm...Hey never dis an authentic autograph!
