TTM Success - Terry Harper

I added a couple more hockey cards to my autograph album with this TTM success from Terry Harper.  Harper has a really nice, clean signature, and it shows up well on the cards that I had.

These vintage hockey cards are really cool, and I probably will go back through the box that Max gave me so I can sent off some more cards.

Harper (b. 1940) played in the NHL from 1962 to 1981 for the Canadiens, Kings, Red Wings, Blues and Rockies (no, not the baseball team; there was a hockey team called the Colorado Rockies).  He scored 35 goals, with 221 assists, for a total of 256 points.  He was a 5-time Stanley Cup winner (64-65, 65-66, 67-68, 68-69, 70-71) with the Canadiens.

I mailed to Harper on August 22 and got the cards back on October 12, for a 51-day TAT.

TTM Success - Jude Drouin

I have gotten almost all of the hockey guys back that I initially sent off when I got my box of vintage hockey from my buddy, Max.  I think I have one more out pending.  I really liked this success from Jude Drouin, because he was kind enough to send the above photo.  I always like it when players include their own stuff in a TTM request.

I also got these hockey cards done.  They were from left to right: 1972-1973 Topps, 1971-1972 Topps and a 1974-1975 Topps that someone wrote on signifying that Drouin had moved on to the Islanders.

Drouin (b. 1948) played from 1968 to 1981 for the Montreal Canadiens, Minnesota North Stars, New York Islanders and the Winnipeg Jets.  He had 151 goals, 305 assists for 456 points. 

I mailed to Drouin on August 22 and got the cards back on September 23, for a 32-day TAT.

TTM Success - Mike Pelyk

Some more of the vintage hockey cards that Max got me came back signed.  These were from defenseman Mike Pelyk.  The cards look really cool!  The above card is a 1971-1972 Topps.

This one is a 1970-1971 Topps.  Pelyk signed both cards with a ballpoint pen.

Pelyk (b. 1947) played from 1967 to 1978 for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Blazers and Cincinnati Stingers.

The Blazers and Stingers were part of the now-defunct World Hockey Association, a league that competed directly with the NHL from 1972 to 1979.

In his career, Pelyk 50 goals and 137 assists, for a total of 187 points.

I mailed to Pelyk on August 22 and got the cards back on September 17, for a 26-day TAT.

TTM Success - Bert Marshall

 I got some more vintage hockey cards signed in this TTM success from Bert Marshall.  The cards came from my friend, Max, in a box I got off of him at the National for $10.00.  I'm really glad I got it, because otherwise, I wouldn't have had these cards, and I probably wouldn't have picked up singles on my own.  The above card is a 73-74 Topps.

This card is a 71-72 Topps, and it also shows off the uniform and logo of the now-defunct California Golden Seals.  The Seals were part of the NHL expansion in 1967, but never really performed all that well.  They ended up moving to Cleveland in 1976.  They competed as the Cleveland Barons until 1978, and then folded.

Marshall (b. 1943) played in the NHL from 1965 to 1979 for the Red Wings, Golden Seals, Rangers and Islanders.  He appeared in 392 games, scoring 8 goals and 87 assists.

I mailed to Marshall on August 22 and got the cards back on September 3, for a 12-day TAT.
