Hit local show here today where they bring in guys at very good prices. Got two HOF legends from Bruins Milt Schmidt and Fern Flaman. Amazing seeing Milt Schmidt who turned 93 years old today sitting and signing for over 3 hours. You could get two autos for $21 and Fern was 2 for $18, with free inscriptions. People were just loading up on Milt Schmidt. They kinda hinted this was going to be last time he did a show atleast this one again. Guy was amazing nice, but watching him take his time on each signature and including his # and HOF date was something to see. People were getting him on all kinds of team photos, 8x10's, cards, sticks, jerseys ect. I got Flamin first at around 11am, ticket #'s were in 90's, bought 2 for Milt and was in 240's and this was when the signing just started. Milts line was super long at 11ish and had stuff to do. So I came back at 1 when signing was supposed to end and there were still about 40 people in line getting multiples each from Schmidt. Signed my cards perfectly and was still in a good mood after what had to be a long day for him. ALways nice seeing the legends. Flaman was very nice as well. Someone asked him if it was hard signing all this stuff. He said no, it nice to still be remembered and meeting people. Flamin is in his mid 80's. These two have to be some of the older HOF still living. I just had cards done. I like those Ultimate orignal six cards, so I got Flaman on his two cards in that set and Milt on ITG cards. See if the pics work.

Was very happy with how autos turned out. Always cool to see what people have done at signings. Saw a lot of people doing old team signed photos. I'm still new to this area, so I'm not up on the teams old school history. I was reading up on Schmidt. Guy last played in 1955. Part of 4 cups. Two as a player, 2 as a gm. Also coached Bruins a bunch of seasons. Also was Caps first gm then went back to Boston after a year in DC. Missed 3 season for WW2.

Can't beat 29/29 on a MAF. Nice find.

Does he have any good inscription type cert autos, with The Flower on them.

No, MAF has no inscription autos with Flower on them. I believe this is MAF's only cert card with an inscription on it.
