Merry Xmas Canadian stampers. Attached are 2 stamps that appeared on my xmas giftstocking. Note that the location of the authentification logo is different on the Pierre Pilote than on the Bobby Orr stamp. I wonder if others have found the same? It would be nice if those with the other authographed stamps can show their findings in here. (Not sure if all six exist since Horton and Harvey left us a few years ago).

From Canada Post: 7. Odds of winning a Prize are 1 in 50 based on the total production quantity produced. There are 1,000 Bobby Orr signed stamp souvenir sheets and 500 each of Red Kelly, Harry Howell and Pierre Pilote. |

wow - those are great! - Would love a Bobby Orr one.
I met him a few years ago at a golf tournament we both played in. Nicest sports celebrity I've ever meant |

Canadian Philatelist, I note that this signing is not free.... I remember when I was a kid, I got many authographs of legends (the Rocket, Fergie Jenkins, Gary Carter, Nadya Comaneci, Henri Richard, etc..) and never had to pay for these. What's going on nowadays? Don't hockey players and baseball players make enough money? Too bad for the kids.... |

Kids still have plenty of opportunities to get free autographs. Just like the old days. At the ballpark, before and after the game, write a letter, etc.. Unfortunately though, autographs are big business nowadays and no player in their right mind would sit at an organized signing for hours, signing things for free to watch them all end up on ebay, while the show's promoters rake in the cash. |

One of my collections is of 'unusual stamps', so I assembled the complete collection. Not sure these are postally valid though, because of the signatures. Even without the signature, I think these are fantastically attractive stamps, and happily put them on my overseas Christmas cards.  |

First, Happy new year to all. I have just one question: How many pack of stamps you have to buy to found all four signature stamps? At $15.00 each......  |
