I have been busy with getting some projects done here at home and other issues that arise but yesterday I was busy adding more scans of my autographs and player cards that I pulled opening packs. I thought I would get myself back into a better mood for writing more frequently to my blog site.
As many know I currently am collecting anything interesting be it rare or scarce of Women's hockey. From autographs to interesting cards from college player cards team photo's or anything that catches my eye.
There was one through the mail autograph that I saw as a success by using the usps informed delivery tool. This was an autograph of Lisa Chesson who played 4 years at Ohio State. I had all 4 years of her cards from Ohio State but I only sent 3 of them and thinking I sent 4 but apparently I did not. So I resent her that card which was her Junior year and this was the one I saw on the informed delivery. It was postmarked march 26, 2026 and I knew who it was from. So the day it was to be delivered was April 2, 2026 and that is 2 days slow. So I waited and when the mailman put the mail in my box I went out grabbed the mail but the envelope was not there. I decided to give it another 5 days and then I did a lost mail search. To make a long story short it was last week May 6th to be exact that while outside in my driveway the mailman hands me my mail. I knew on this day I had no autographs coming in but when I saw I had one I said wait a minute. There it was the one postmarked March 26th was finally delivered and in my hands, however there was another interesting tidbit. Since I figured I would never see that card that I needed for getting all of her cards from her college days autographed I searched through my collection and I found 2 more cards from that same junior year and I sent those out along with 2 Olympic index cards. I am still waiting to get those back too and I can use for trading for my auto wants.
It makes me now wonder when I never get cards autographed by players is it because the players never get the auto requests?? The mail is terrible and with all of the postage increases one would think of better service.
This is the Lisa Chesson Junior card from her college days with Ohio state and now that I have finally got this card which took about a month to arrive. This completes getting all of her College cards autographed which can all be seen on the tab Women's Hockey Index & College Cards Autographed TTM.
This was the other item she signed the index card, I only wished she would have signed the puck but I did send that other auto request to her so maybe she will sign the puck.
I got this one back in the mail yesterday and it is from Minnesota Frost player Sydney Brodt who went on to win the first Walter Cup Championship.
I pulled this card from the 2025-26 Onit Ohio State cards and it is a scarce one serial numbered 2/5. This is actually the third green /5 card I have pulled but the biggest pull are the next 2 cards.
This card is one of the best pulls from this set of cards, the 2025-26 Onit Ohio State set. Joy Dunne is the biggest name from this set and to pull a card serial numbered 5/5 is quite a thrill.
This is the Red version of the card which is serial numbered 17/25 one away from her jersey number but this is another great pull. I did pull another Red version serial numbered 1/25. Joy Dunne won a Gold medal in this years Winter Olympics so these cards are very nice additions.
This card is from the 2025-26 Onit Ohio State set and is the Joy Dunne Silhouette card. Of all of the 12 boxes I opened this card is the toughest to pull. From the 12 boxes I pulled a total of 4 Silhouette cards but of only 2 different players 2 cards of Jordyn Petrie and 2 cards of Joy Dunne. It was nice pulling the Dunne Green 5/5 card which is a very scarce card but the Dunne Silhouette card ranks up there as being just as tough if not tougher.
I will be posting more to my blogs on a more frequent times but I have had some health issues with my Wife so that is more important to me. Looking forward to reading others comments, if you would like to see posts about other cards please post in the comments as I have a ton of Baseball cards too. Thanks for stopping by and as always Happy Collecting.
