Didn't do much 'graphing this year - the Phoenix Coyotes were the first team I did this season since the World Cup (Shane Doan did 6/6 cards, Luke Schenn did 4/4 cards), but the real prize was doing the Penguins today. For the second time this season, I added the "best hockey player in the world" to my collection. Two quick Penguins adds:

Olli Maatta 1/1 Card
Sidney Crosby 1/1 Sports Illustrated





Crosby didn't wanna sign, tried to avoid us all (a dozen or so), then signed for me, my buddy, and one little kid while walking to his Uber. Only way we got him to sign was by asking him to personalize. This SI is for my PC, so I was perfectly happy to come away with it personalized. Apparently he signed three or four more later in the night, but I got the hell outta there after getting Crosby. Most of the big names left with him too; I missed Kunitz, Fleury, and a few others taking my shot at Crosby...guess that paid off, eh?
