Cool success. This one took a little longer than I hoped, about 6 months, but I'm not complaining. JR signed my 8x10 through his home address and he also put in a thank you letter and a unsigned card.

Craig Anderson TTM

Received 12/30/11
This was a pretty interesting return without even opening the letter. I don't know if he does this all the time, but he sealed my envelope with two pieces of hockey tape. I thought it was pretty cool. Craig has been playing ok for Ottawa who I'll be seeing tomorrow night when they play the Sabres at "Tux's and Pucks" (everyone wears suits to the game). Signed my 4x6 1/1 through the Ottawa Senators. Took like 2 months.

Tim Thomas TTM

Received 12/27/11
I was not expecting this to come back what so ever. Great that it did though! Last years Stanley Cup, Conne Smyth, and Vezina winning goaltender signed my 4x6 in about 1 month. Tim is one of my favorite goalies in the league, it's just too bad he plays for the Bruins. He signed this 1/1 through his home. Help me Peggy!
BTW: I'll will not be sharing the address I used. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Chris Kunitz TTM

Cool success. I don't know how, but it seems like the Penguins always find a way to win. They just whooped on My Sabres last week 8-2, then again, my Sabres haven't been playing that good anyway. This took about a month either through the Penguins or though his home, I have both addresses so if anyone wants his home feel free to email me.

Maxime Talbot TTM

Received 12/19/11
Cool success. This is my first TTM to Talbot and my first success. I've never meet him but out of what I've seen on this and last years 24/7, he seems like a pretty cool dude. I was a little shocked when he signed with Philadelphia this summer and probably even more shocked that Pittsburgh let m walk away. I thought he was favored in that organization and that he was a guy they wouldn't let away. Talbot signed my 4x6 1/1 either through the Philadelphia Flyers or their practice facility. I've seen successes from both so which ever one you use should work.

Sabres Game 12/9/11: Villie Leino Autograph

Yesterday, I went to First Niagara Center to see the Buffalo Sabres take on the Florida Panthers. My dad got me these seats for my birthday and they were really cool! Right on the glass, and yep, that's me with the monkey mask (I got on TV!). We won 2-1 in OT, but before the game I went to the Labatt Blue Tailgate Tent because I heard Villie Leino would be in there signing autographs. I have not gotten his autograph, so I figured this would be the perfect time to do it. Leino didn't play last night due to a 1 game suspension for a hit to the head against Philadelphia Wednesday night. I wasn't sure how crowded it was going to be, but it wasn't bad at all. We got there a little early so there wasn't that many people there. But once he came in and people started he was in there, it started to fill up a bit. But hey, I got him to sign my 4x6 and witnessed a Sabres home ice victory (which has been rare so far this season). I'm now 2-1-1 on the season.

Chad LaRose TTM

Received 12/8/11
Cool success. Great to see the address I found worked! The Hurricanes are not off to a hot start, but with their new coach who knows. If they can get Staal back to where he should be playing, they should defiantly win some games. Chad signed my 4x6 1/1 through his house.

Ryan Kesler TTM

Received 11/28/11
Sweet! Never thought I was going to get this one back. Took about 1 year. Ryan is one of my favorite players, I'm glad I got a success from him! I sent this card to the Vancouver Canucks.
BTW: I really wnat to get my Biron-Emery 5x7 signed by Ray. If anybody has seen any successes from him, please let me now either by comenting or via email (rbmarko20@yahoo.com). If you haven't seen any, hopefully you guys could be guinea pig's for me and sending to him:
Ray Emery
c/o Chicago Blackhawks
1901 W Madison St
Chicago, IL 60612
and emial back if you get a success, we can work out a deal. Thanks for all the help!

Gilles Meloche TTM

My first California Seals success! This took about 4 months through the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Brett Hull TTM

Received 11/25/11
Cool 8x10 from the Hall of Famer. I know it is the same image as my 4x6 but it was the only one I could find. Quick return too, took about a week through his house. Foot in the crease!

Tomas Vokoun

Received 11/25/11
WOW, talk about a long return! This card has to be a little over 1 year old. I sent these cards to him back when he was on Florida last season. He must have brought all his mail to Washington with him. If you sent something to Tomas last season, stay patent because I bet you'll get it back.

Robyn Regehr

Just met Robyn Regehr at Dave and Adams today and I got this 8x10 for him to sign. He might be the nicest hockey player I have ever meet. We were just talking about Buffalo and some other stuff. I asked him they best wings he's had so far and he said he hasn't had any yet and he asked me for the best place to go. (Of course I told him Elmo's Bar and Grill, My uncles bar). On autograph wise, I asked him if it was hard to get used to signing 24 instead of 28. He said it took him forever to get it down, but he eventually got used to it. All in all, Robyn Regehr is a great guy and a great hockey player and I'm glad he plays for the Sabres.

Derian Hatcher TTM

Received 11/18/11
Coll success. I sent this one out a while ago so it's nice to see it come back. Hatcher signed my card and also the index card I put in there as well. The card was sent to his home

Jhonas Enroth

I went to a signing at Dave and Adam's Card World yesterday night to meet Sabres netminder Jhonas Enroth. I have meet him before and I have a few other things signed by him, and when Dave and Adam's announced this signing, I wasn't planning on going. But after the past couple weeks of Sabres hockey, I knew I had to get him! Jhonas came in last year when Miller was hurt and played phenomenal. This year so far Miller has been shaky and Enroth has filled him for him a lot. He is playing out of his mind and hasn't lost a game yet. The photo looks great and I was talking to him about the last game. I was at it when they played the Jets. We won 6-5 but Miller played the whole game but looked horrible. I am going to see Robyn Regehr there Monday the 21st so Ill post that one up too.

John Carlson TTM

Received 10/26/11
Wow great success from an outstanding young defesnsemen. Another success from the undefeated Washington Capitals too! Carlson signed my 4x6 in 1 month through the Washington Capitals practice arena.

Brooks Laich TTM

Received 10/22/11
Nice quick success. This is the first autograph I have of Brooks Laich so this is a nice one. The Caps are red hot so far this year. They are undefeated so far and tonight they go up against the Red Wings, who are also undefeated. Should be a great game! He signed my 4x6 in 3 weeks through the Washington Capitals practice arena.

Teemu Selanne TTM

Received 10/20/11
Wow 2 for 1! I sent the Jets 8x10 to his house about 5 months ago and he sent it back signed along with this 5x7 he included and signed as well. You could tell he started to sign the sleeve I put it in, and then stopped when he realized what he was doing. Anyway awesome success from the Finnish Flash. 8x10 was sent to his home.

Sergei Kostitsyn TTM

Received 10/11/11
I forgot about this one. I think I sent this one out like in March of last season and I just got it back today. Cool looking sig on the card to. This took like 7 months through the Nashville Predators.

Bills: 4-1

Winnipeg Jets TTM

Hey if anyone knows anything about sending TTM through the Winnipeg Jets or if u get any successes from them, I would appreciate if you guys could email me (rbmarko20@yahoo.com). I have some stuff I want to send out and I'm wondering if I should even bother. I know they will get much more mail then they did in ATL so any information would be very helpful. Thanks

Contest

Congrats to Dave H. for guessing correctly first. Answers were Crossroads Arena, Marine-Midland Arena and HSBC Arena.

Bobby Hull TTM

Received 9/29/11
Wow did this turn out nice or what! Bobby Hull has one of the coolest signatures I have ever seen and he always signs everything perfect. Bobby is one of my favorite hockey players of all time and I think that it's great he signs TTM. I'm sure you can find him at Blackhawks and Jets games this winter. I sent this one out in the offseason so it took about 5 months but I have had a success from him that took like 1 or 2 weeks. 8x10 was sent to the Chicago Blackhawks.

Eddie Shack TTM

Received 9/26/11
Eddie is most notable for playing for the leafs, but he came to Buffalo along with a bunch of leafs because of Punch Imlach late in his carrier and was apart of the greatest picture in hockey history! This is probably my favorite thing I have signed right now. Eddie took like 4 months for him to sign it but it was well worth the wait. I sent the 5x7 to his house.

BTW: How 'bout dem Bills! I was at the game and it was great to see the whole row of Pats fans in front of us shocked beyond belief! As of now we have the best team in the AFC and we will always have the best fans in the league!

Also let me know what u guys think of the new background. I'm taking any suggestions so if u want me to replace any with some other autos I have on my site I will. Whatever u think will look the best. I'm trying to only focus on pictures but I can put cards up there too. Thanks guys!

Buffalo Sabres Blue and Gold carpet Event 2011

Every year when the leafs play the Sabre during the preseason, The Buffalo Sabres set up a blue and gold carpet were the sabres walk to the locker room from limos and sign autographs, I managed to pick up a bunch of 4x6's:
