Got a new helping of cards to try and get signed at this season's hockey games. All played in the CHL before the NCAA relaxed their rules on CHL'ers' eligibility. Can't wait to try and get these all signed.

I have probably an odd question for autograph hunters. I have a project in mind to honor the hockey team on the local military base as part of my collection. I was able to order a jersey similar to what they wear, as well as a pair of new hockey socks. I'm wanting to get the team to sign the socks (don't worry- they're still brand new in bag) and put them in a shadowbox with a couple of military patches and pucks.

My question is what should I use on the socks to get their autographs? Sharpie? Paint pen? Off-hand, I am not certain what the socks are made of?

A couple weeks ago, I shared some cards that I got from Upper Deck as part of their No Purchase Necessary program. Today, I got a couple more. The 2024-25 Ice Premieres jersey is of Dallas Stars rookie Mavrik Bourque. The 2025 AEW Outburst is of tag team partners Max Caster and Anthony Bowens.

This is one of my favorite non-sports pieces hanging up in my basement. In fact, it's hanging above my desk as I do my homework for my second go-round through college. It's a motto that I'm living, and trying to live up to. I picked it up one year when I went to the hackers convention DEFCON in Las Vegas (probably around 2015 or so). It looks awesome in that art deco propaganda style, and I was a huge fan of Doctor Who then (still enjoy it, just don't have time).

Here's an older pic of my man cave. I need to do some rearranging to get even more stuff up, especially since I've got UNO hockey pucks that won't fit on the one display that's up (seen on the right). I need to find time between work and school to do it (One day, eventually... 🤷).
