Between the ages of 12-15 I collected NHL autograph's in person. All of which were obtained at the old ‘barn’ aka ‘the arena’ where the St.Louis Blues played. I have a ton of autographs from opposing teams who would practice there, including the one below. Sadly Messier was not friendly to anyone regardless of age and so I never could complete the trifecta on this card anytime the Rangers were in town. The Rangers won the cup the year I got these which makes it even more special. It’s been sitting in a box the last 30 years and I want to give this to a real fan and who may be able to obtain the elusive third signature. First PM gets it on me.

    🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    as a die hard…. I couldn’t bemore grateful for this. Thanks you so much. 
  • Id track down Messier and say "HEY, Sign this!!!" He still likes to mix it up though so that might not be a good idea...

    A fine gesture, 2-feign, very classy!  I'm sure Nick will be very pleased! Enjoy!

    Take it from a Vancouver fan - Messier is a dick. :lol:
