Anyone trade for signed pucks

[lemieuxl66]

Just wondering what the market is for signed pucks, and if their is any interest in these across the boards. I live in Sarnia, and my son has practice time right after the Sarnia Sting do. We regularly walk by Alex Galchenyuk et al. every week. We have even stopped and talked a little with some of the players about their games and such (including Galy a couple times) ... we are season ticket holders also to the Sting. My son wants some Canadians pucks so he can get a few autos for himself. Was just wondering if anyone else would be chasing these. Would it be worth getting a few extras signed for tradebait?? Does anyone want signed pucks with no true authenticity attached. LMK what your opinions are on these.

Thanks
Luc

I'd be interested. I enjoy puck collecting and just dealt for a retirement puck of luc robitaille, as far as authenticity the proof of a ticket stub or something of that Ilk is good enough for me. Let me know what your trade value would be for them

Luc, lots of people collect IP autos, because well the ones bought at signings are much too expensive for the average fan. Getting them while playing in junior still is far better than waiting until they turn pro, when they may not have the time, or patience with dozens of hounds at every street corner. Even though there is no COA, try bringing a camera with you, and take a picture of him signing, or if possible take a pic with yourself, or your son with the players. That gives you some sort of proof that the signature was obtained by you. Good Luck with it. Remember to be polite when asking. If they say no, shrug it off, and try another time. Most people forget that these guys get bothered a lot, and you may catch them at a bad time, or when they are in a bad mood, perhaps they just got chewed out by the coach, or something like that. Also, remember to share your pics with us guys on the board. That goes without saying! LOL!!

My Buddy and I have been doing this for years, We go to the Hotel on game days and get the players heading to the Bus. Almost all are happy to sign and are friendly. I Usually do a team signed photo and will also get pics done by Blues prospects and top draft pics.

I'd actually love to get my hand on a Galchenyuk signed puck ;-) I have a few auto'ed pucks, some authenticated by UDA, but most of them aren't, and I honestly couldn't care less.
