Ron Hextall

Sent: 9/15/11
Received: 11/10/11
Time: 56 Days
Address: c/o Los Angeles Kings
Item Sent: 1991-92 Score Canadian, 2008-09 O-Pee-Chee Retro

Item Received: 1991-92 Score Canadian, signed in black Sharpie.

Notes:
I double-dipped on Ron Hextall with decent results.  He thankfully signed the 1991-92 Score card that I needed for my set.  Unforutnaely, he kept the 2008-09 OPC 1979 Retro card that I sent.  He's the second person to keep one of these cards, following Wild defenseman Nick Schultz (who at least replaced it with a different card).  Perhaps he hadn't seen the card before and figured it was too cool to send back?  I'm happy, though.  The set card was most important to me.

Item Received: 1991-92 Pro Set French, 1991-92 Stadium Club.  Both signed in black Sharpie.

Notes:
When I was a kid, Hextall was everyone's favorite goalie.  Patrick Roy was a sissy.  Hextall wouldn't back down from anyone.  He was as much of an agitator as any goalie who has ever suited up.  He would drop the gloves and he once even scored a goal.  In these parts, he is also well known as the son of former North Star Dennis Hextall.  I can't tell if the Pro Set card is inscribed "Best of Luck," "Best Wishes," or something else.
