Nice! A great return from the great "Pocket Rocket" (excuse the jokes)! I've seen many returns from Henri Richard, and I'm super glad he returned my fan letter in a quick 17 days. His auto is a bit shaky, but I'm definitely not complaining, considering his age and his consistency. Thank you so much Henri Richard, you're the best!

Sweet, I got my four cards back from Maxime Talbot. Standing in a 5'11, Max is a Stanley Cup champion, silver medalist and QMJHL Playoff MVP, all at the age of 27! Not bad for a guy who was picked 234th overall in his entry draft year. Thanks Maxime for the nice autographs! They turned up really clear and no ink running! Yay!

A nice return from Michael Rupp! Michael has been in the league for quite some time now, having played for just under half a dozen teams in his 11 year career. He was first drafted by the Islanders, 9th overall. Unsigned, he re-entered the draft a few years later, going 76th overall. Michael is the only player in NHL history to have his first goal be the Stanley Cup winning goal. Not a bad stat to be associated with!
