St. Patrick

Well, this one I got through Frameworth Sports Marketing. It's one of the three goaltenders' autographs I have, and shows Patrick Roy celebrating his 448th career victory. I have since seen the game that Martin Brodeur won to pass Roy (victory #552), which was actually not his best game he has played, in which he won 3-2 I believe but gave up a goal late to make it more of an exciting game nonetheless. I'll try to get better pictures (I took these with my phone).

The Great One.

Well, here's my first post, even though it's a year after I posted my first entry. I actually got this one (along with just about all the others as well) from NHL Auctions (which I would highly NOT recommend because you could end up spending thousands for maybe ten autographs at best) although all his autographs are through Wayne Gretzky Authentic (if you buy them that is). I'll try to post better photos once I get a digital camera, but since this is the only way I can do it right now (through my phone that is), I'll just post it. I really don't have any interesting stories about how I got these, or the others for that matter. I have got to try to get autographs through the mail from the recommended guys through Sal's Hockey Autograph Blog.

A Great Collector's Blog and My Introduction

I recently found a really good blog of a hockey collector that is pretty interesting. It's called "Sal's Hockey Autograph Blog" and the url is http://hockeyautographs.blogspot.com/. It is just amazing how many autographs he has listed and has stories about and it just inspired me to make my own amateur-sized blog called "Hockey Gods and Collectables" ("Duh! I see it at the top of the page!"). Anyway, I have several hockey autographs and collectibles and I just wanted to show off my own acquisitions. Unlike his, I will probably buy most of my autographed collectibles, so I'll try to fill in the blank, unispiring days (those when I don't get any autographs, and there will be a lot of those or collectibles) with my thoughts on past and future hockey gods (I consider a hockey god as either being retired or deceased). Not that I will have many days where I write on my blog and I also hope that I won't forget about this one like some of the others I have set up in the past and later deleted. Anyway, hopefully I will start listing some of my collectibles as soon as possible (when I get my family's digital camera back).
