Thought I would do a quick post a day before the 4th of July. It will be crazy here as we live by many lakes and it is a big draw for visitors to come and enjoy the fireworks shot over the lake, we do not attend these fireworks displays because I have seen enough and we dislike the ones that people shoot off near our homes. I got another through the mail autographs from Kim Insalaco who has a card in the 2005-06 United States Women's National Team. Kim signed an index card for me earlier in the year and must love signing in red.
This now gives me 10 cards from the 2005-06 United States Women's National Team and getting Natalie Darwitz auto was a big one to get and the other one is Angela Ruggiero but I have only seen this card for sale for nearly $60 and I have sent many times to her with only one successful reply so to lay out $60 is really taking a big chance. If I saw her signing at an event then yes I would do it but no I won't spend that much and take that risk (That is for how I feel Today)
This is a very nice unique item that I got Tricia Dunn to sign. This is a first day cover silk Cachet for the 2006 Winter Games in Torino, Italy. The postmark is Ja. 11,2006 Colorado Springs, CO is the cancellation stamp. Notice the cost of a postage stamp 20 years ago was only 39 cents and currently it is up to 78 cents and on July 12th it jumps up to 82 cents. Tricia is not an easy auto to get but I am very happy with this one, the cachet is really nice and is like cloth and Tricia signed this Tricia D Luoma.
This card of Stephanie Boyd is from the 1994-95 Classic Women of Hockey set of 40 cards in which these cards consist of 20 Team Canada players one checklist card and 19 Team USA cards. I have 18 team USA cards autographed as I still need Stephanie Boyd as the last Team USA players autograph. I sent a autograph request out on Weds. in hope that she gets the request and signs the 2 cards I sent. She was born in Canada but played for Team USA which is what makes getting her autograph somewhat difficult. I will be sending more autograph requests to the 1997-98 University of Minnesota cards and enclosing a silver sharpie in a bubble mailer which I plan on sending to Laura Tryba, I am only waiting for the 3 cards to arrive so I can send them out to her and one of the cards has the first ever goal scorer Julie Otto as scoring the first ever goal for the University of Minnesota Women's Hockey assisted by Laura Tryba. I hope I can get both to sign as that would be huge.
This is the front of the card showing Julie Otto and Brittny Ralph but Ralph did not assist she was on the ice and is celebrating when the goal was scored. I wonder if she got to keep the puck, I plan on asking her that when I send the card out for here auto, time will hopefully answer that question.
This is the back of the card above which shows a small inset photo of Otto and Tryba. I might ask them to each sign the back by their respective photo and the front and I might ask Brittny Ralph to sign the front as well since she is the other player depicted on the front. As you can see the first ever goal was scored by Julie Otto from a rebound by Laura Tryba at the games 1:55 mark.
This card I am showing is one my Wife bought for me back in 2013 and I still and always will keep this card. The serial number is 056/100. The number 56 was Bergeron's jersey number back when he was a rookie. Just a really nice card. Also want to say congratulations to Patrice Bergeron for being elected to the HHOF and he will soon have his jersey number retired where it will hang with all the other Bruins greats. That is all I got for this post and looking forward to getting more autographs back of the Women in Hockey and I will be doing a post on Linda Sinrod once I get her card back signed.
Happy Collecting and remember have fun collecting and have a safe and Happy 4th of July!!!
