May 11th

Saturday's appearance was unbelievable. It was Brian Leetch's first public signing in as long as I have been in the industry and it was as perfect as can be..aside from an unforeseen flight delay (only pushed back the signing about an hour...have experienced a lot worse). I am still in awe of the presence any of the '94 Rangers bring to the table. I am not a hockey fan so, despite having been around it for quite some time, the outpouring of love the fans have for these guys still amazes me. Personally I equate it to the '86 Mets and the bond the fans still have with Doc, Keith, Darling, Straw, Nails...all those guys. Being that Brian has not appeared in public at all many customers came with their multi-signed '94 Cup pieces They were all absolutely ecstatic that they were finally now complete and ready to be framed and displayed. Also there was an NHL.com auction winner that traveled all the way from Chicago to meet Leetch (as a side-note we do have some incredible VIP experiences on our auction pages as well as NHL.com and MLB.com...check them out) Anyway it was a total success. Everyone, especially Brian , had a blast and went home happy. The best part about it is the proceeds all went to the Michelle O'Neill Foundation which benefits children stricken with cancer...http://www.monfoundation.org/about.html.
Later this week I will be posting some great video from the day...

Hey Eric,

I was the one that flew in from Chicago. Thanks again for the awesome courtesy and experience. Meeting Brian is definitely one of the best experiences I've ever had. I still had that rush from meeting him all the way back to chicago. We definitely felt like VIPs!

Thanks again
