During the pandemic the through the mail autos were almost extinct so it took the fun away. It seems the players today are getting harder and harder to acquire. I will say that I am happy to report that I got another Providence bruins player back and it one of two that I want. The one high on my list is Jack Ahcan as I am sending to him this Friday. The big surprise was when I used the informed delivery to check my mail. I did it late last night around midnight, well I was quite shocked to figure out who the autograph was from because when you do through the mail requests you put your mailing address in the upper left corner of the envelope and in the middle as that is the envelope the players send the cards back in. There have been only a few players that have put their address label over mine but this one I knew who it was from because of what I did to the envelope. I put two dots in black ink in each top corner of the labels and I knew who it was from. I actually had to pinch myself because I thought I was dreaming. This player only played in 3 games for the bruins during the 1984-85 season and is a extremely difficult auto to acquire.
This is the three autographed cards I got back from Oskar Steen and his auto is not that bad as I can see the letters but the big auto which is almost unheard of as the successes are very low but I am glad I am in that low success rate.
This is the autograph of Don Sylvestri and there are many that have probably never heard of him but a serious Bruins auto collector will definitely know the name and will add that he is indeed quite difficult to acquire. It would of been nice if he would have signed the card on the front but I am not upset by that I am still very happy. I got two auto's of him and I picked these two cards up from eBay and sent them to Don and he signed them both. All I can say is what a mail day it has been and it can get better but from a through the mail request it will be difficult to defeat today's mail day.
