If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. The best time to get NHL players is at the beginning of their NHL careers. Most of them, I'd dare say, are among the most willing signers, not even batting an eyelash at signing at least four cards at a time.Last week's hockey hounding adventure for the Montreal Canadiens proves my point. Montreal's Lars Eller (from top to bottom), Tom Pyatt, P.K. Subban and Yannick Weber added 16 of the 45 cards that I got signed before and after the team's morning skate.
Getting the younger players is a good way, too, to build diversity into your autographed card collection. Not only are there NHL cards, but the American Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League and Team Canada are all represented.
Interesting. They must not feel like it's a chore yet.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they never will.
Among them, Lars Eller and P.K. Subban were rather chatty.
ReplyDeleteEller said he was having fun in his rookie season, but would be having more fun if the team was winning.
I told Subban, who has hit a bit of a rough patch, just to keep playing the game hard and work his way through it. He's was very appreciative.
