Milt Schmidt is one of the all-time great Boston Bruins. He was involved with the Boston Bruins from 1936 to 1975, as a player, coach and general manager. Milt won 2 Stanley Cups as a player and 2 more as a GM. Is he known as being part of the "Kraut Line", playing alongside childhood friends, and fellow HHOFers, Woody Dumart and Bobby Bauer. I sent Milt $5, which he donates to Cancer Research. I read that he won't sign for free due to so many of his cards showing up on ebay.

$5 is still an absolute steal for this Bruin great. He is a class act and a living historical resource for the game.
ReplyDeleteNICE!
I'll second the $5 steal, and man that's a great auto from a 94 year old!
ReplyDeleteHe included a note saying thank you for the donation and that it would go to cancer research. It is worth $5 to get the autograph, plus the cost of a TTM. The autograph is great but getting a note back makes it even better. My favorites TTM returns have been the ones were the player included any kind of response along with the auto.
