Why go after this autograph: This is one that I almost forgot about since it’s been nearly 6 months since I sent it out. I did my homework on this one. I had read that Patrick was signing autographs through his junior team. So off I sent it and when I didn’t get it back within 2 months, I had given up. This one means a lot to me because growing up as a fan of hockey in the 80s and 90s he was THE best goalie in the league. Now Brodeur has his previous record of career wins, but Roy has more rings, at least for now. Roy is always going to be remembered though as one of the top five players to ever play the game. The autograph is not a pre-print and it doesn’t look like a robo penned signature either. So thumbs up on this one!
Any Current Certified Autographs Available: There are a ton of them available. The eBay prices run from $75 – $800 depending on the release and population. Below is a few examples of his certified autographs.
Got mine back on 6/8/09 as well. My sig is very similar and in a different spot. The Sharpie was drying up on him on mine but it still looks great. Congrats
That’s sweet!!!
Nice return! Joe Sakic has a very similar looking auto card if your interested. They are the same colour and dimensions if you are looking to get a nice looking set from these two superstars. Just sent it c/o the team.
