We are now a few days away from completing the Giants massive team project. Once the signings are completed I will be doing a major recap of the entire experience. In the meanwhile, and amidst the Super Bowl hysteria, we have had (and will continue to do) other signings. Yesterday we had our appearance at Last Licks Armonk with Rangers legends Eddie Giacomin and John Vanbiesbrouk. Eddie, who I have worked with numerous times in the past, flew in on Saturday. After finishing up with David Diehl on the Giants pieces Saturday morning I began setting up for Eddie. Giacomin popped in at about 1:00 and signed for close to two hours. Over the course of that time he autographed some incredibly robust items including those classic masks as well as some strong photos. That brings us to Sunday where I met up with Eddie and Beeze at Armonk at 11:15. While Giacomin has been on our signing circuit for quite some time this was the first time I had ever worked with John. There was a nice crowd on hand so we decided to begin the public early. Both guys talked with and took photos with everyone. Once the public concluded Vanbiesbrouk banged through his pieces in no time. Aside from Rangers pucks, mini-sticks and some amazing photos Beeze and Eddie also autographed a seriously strong Rangers Goalie Greats collage photo (in both 8x10 and 16x20). I am really looking forward to the next Leetch and Lundqvist signings so that we can complete the piece.
We have a ton going on this week including some more Rangers signings as well at the completion of the Super Bowl XLII Giants team project. Check back daily for photos and updates.
