You can't get all of them and not have the head coach Herb Brooks.. He is deceased though so you would have to pick up one on the secondary market.

Yeah I am already looking into how I can obtain something he signed that will fit into the frame and go along with the rest of the collection. Trying to also get an autograph from Al Michaels and Ken Dryden as well. Ken is a current politician in Canada and I can't seem to find a mailing address for Al Michaels.

[Zacky1053]

This is the only mailing address I can find for Al Michaels. It's his current home address, not sure if he goes home between Sunday Night games or not so it could be awhile before you get a signature there:

401 S Bristol Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90049-3820

Oh My!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!! :flex:

I am HOPING I can get him to inscribe it "Do you believe in Miracles!?" :)!

I honestly don't think that will be an issue. For obvious reasons, I think Al is absolutely thrilled to be associated with such a historic event.

Are you going to mount all these in a frame when you're done? How are you going to display these?

[Zacky1053]

Buzz's son Billy played him in the film "Miracle". According to the filmmakers it was a total coincidence. Right. lol

[garpike]

Yeah I have a big frame that I am going to put them in along with a reproduction cover of the SI cover that show the team celebrating. It has a pre print Herb Brooks auto on it. I just hope that a) I can get all the autos and b) that it looks as nice as I am thinking it will.

Just saw this story on Mark Wells today:

Mark Wells' 'Miracle on Ice' Gold Medal Sells for $310,700 -- NHL FanHouse (http://nhl.fanhouse.com/2010/11/06/mark-wells-miracle-on-ice-gold-medal-sells-for-310-700/)

Personally I'd love to see it somehow get back to Mark but doubt that will happen.

Dang...how sad is that. I hope he is doing better now.

Thanks for the link. :)!

[Zacky1053]

Did you ever find an address for Ken Dryden? I found an email address thought maybe you could try him that way. Can't prove it's updated though:

Dryden.K@parl.gc.ca

[garpike]

Yeah I found an address for his office in Parliament.
Not sure about the whole Canadian return postage thing though.

[Rick]

Get an IRC from the Post Office from his zip to yours.

It is that simple? Well shucks....Might have to send one out this week! :)!

[Rick]

Yes, ask them for an IRC, they'll know what you need.

Dude I pm'd you that I have Canadian stamps...never heard back from you.

[garpike]

Really? I didn't see it. Thanks for the offer though!
Sorry about not replying, I must have deleted it by accident.
I am going to try the IRC thingy and see what happens.
Thanks so much for the offer though.

[Rick]

Post Offices have Canadian stamps also, if you want to go that route.

[John91C]

Never seen a USPS carry Canadian stamps...but one of those small individual ones affiliated with the USPS may carry some, but that would be the individual owner selling them and not the USPS.

If you don't find any IRC's then let me know if you want the Canadian Stamps...I sell them at face value...I have the $1 Canadian stamps that are made for mailing to the U.S. You only need 1 of the $1 stamps if you are sending pwe (plain white envelopes, letter sized). I don't have a ton of them...I order them 50 at a time since it comes with free shipping and a lot of movie sets are in Vancouver, it makes ttm easier.

I would call around to multiple usps places to see if they have irc's...when I could find them only 1 post office near me carried them and they only restock 3-4 times a year and they usually sell out within the same week they get them. Also...they do expire...the 2010 year is about to end so they will have a "new" version for 2011...don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure they expire.

[Rick]

They have them at my local Post Office & they have a lot of South American stamps. Maybe because I live in South Florida where all the Canadians come down for the winter.

I stand corrected then...pretty weird for the USPS to tell foreign stamps but I guess whatever it takes to make a buck!
