Through the Mail- Chris Pronger

We are back to my favorite sport with my latest success!  A funny side note is that in the letter I wrote to Chris, I told him flat out that as a fan of the Kings I could not stand him as a player and that he always managed to piss me off.  I also told him that I kinda always wanted him to be a King too, so I suppose that is a compliment, right?  Anyhow, he sent this nicely signed card personalized to me which is great.  I'm not someone that really minds if the athlete personalizes since I am not selling these anyway.  That actually leads me to another point.  Every item I receive in my collection is something I keep.  I do not sell my stuff unless I am trying to purchase a bigger piece for my collection.  That has only happened one time.  Literally everything you see I keep.  If I get duplicates of an athlete over the years, I might trade for something I don't have.  It irritates me quite a bit that on some of the groups and forums I am in you get people whining and complaining that an athlete signed weird, or personalized, etc.  They only care because they want to get everything authenticated to sell later.  It's a business for many people, but not for me. My personal opinion is that those people kind of ruin the hobby for everyone else.
