Through the Mail-Alex Delvecchio
I've been slacking a bit with my posts so wanted to catch up on a couple of things that came back through the mail in the last week that I haven't quite gotten around to posting about yet. The first was a return from Detroit Red Wings and hockey Hall of Famer Alex Delvecchio, who spent all 24 years of his career in Detroit and was a 3x Stanley Cup Winner. I've mentioned in the past it's fun to get the retro guys on their older cards when possible, and that's what I did with Mr. Delvecchio, whose NHL career started in 1950!.
As you can see, he was kind enough to also add his HHF 70 inscription. He is definitely one of the older players I have gotten to sign an autograph through the mail, as he is just about 90 years old. You have to appreciate the old timers still signing for people that had no chance of seeing them plat. Honestly, his signature itself still looks pretty strong as well.
