That technique has had a somewhat low success rate thus far (I’m 1 for 4), but I don’t know what else I can do short of hiring someone in NC to stalk him with a puck and a sharpie. Which I’m not above doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 I 1000% just found Chad Erickson’s wife using my new Facebook account and messaged her. She hasn’t posted since September 15 so she is not a frequent user. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy I found is definite, wife has the same name and they live in his hometown, and I read an article from a few years ago that said he moved back there after playing. The pictures of him on her account are old. One look at the 2019 picture and it’s obviously him. The 2020 picture, his face looks a little rounder, and in your picture, he is clearly significantly heavier. But, it was Covid and a lot of people put on weight sitting around. I do note, between your picture and the 2019 picture, his beard is gray in the same place, not that a lot of people don’t go gray that way. Could all 4 of these pictures be the same guy?

Hmm, I'm a pretty bad judge at these things... I'm the type of person that when a baby is born and everyone says "oh wow, he has your eyes, and her nose", I just look at the baby and think it's cute but have no idea whose features it has from which parent. To me, it's so tiny and you can't tell anything yet (unless of course it's really, REALLY obvious, and the parents have significantly different features/characteristics ) In the pictures above, I can kind of see in 2019 the same nose and also facial hair/color, and like you said perhaps he put on some weight in 2020 which is why the picture I found he's definitely "rounder". Even in the 2020 picture you got he also sort of looks the same. But...who knows, it could all just be coincidence. 7.5 billion people on this planet, there's bound to be a lot of similarities. Like I said, I'm a terrible judge at these things lol. I just hope you are able to find the guy, and that he signs a puck for you, regardless of how that happens.

mfitz804 Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Good news on the puck front, I went on Facebook and found not one but two Shulmistra pucks that collectors had and were willing to sell. I bought the better looking of the two. I will be down to three when that arrives. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, do these pucks that you're getting from people have COA's, or any kind of back story that might legitimize the signatures?

I’m pretty good at matching them up with known legit examples, I have a little bit of training in that field. This one, though, comes from someone who was goalie coached by Shulmistra and had other signed items from him as well. I would note also, the two different ones I found also matched each other. I’m also pretty confident nobody is faking a Richard Shulmistra puck. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 So, once I finish the goalies (wishful thinking), and finish the captains, I will have 5 slots empty in my puck cases. Trying to decide who to fill that with. Maybe some “ring of honor” type guys, Brylin, Zajac etc? Or do I go prospects, Mercer, Holtz, etc?

SterioDesign Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Or just go for the most random thing you can like get someone like.... Gary bettman, Jack Black or Barbara Streisand to sign a Devils puck lol My buddy that i go to conventions with usually was wondering what he should get signed by a guest (i forgot who), and i just suggested something insanely unrelated as a random curveball and he was like "this makes no sense at all!" and i was like "I know but.... who else would own that!?!" And it started a whole inside joke between us to come up with the most ridiculous combinations of stuff... Like for example a Mary Poppins bag replica signed by Will Smith.... or a Jason mask signed by Betty White..... "Who else would have that?!" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Or maybe the 3 Cup winning coaches? I’m sure there are some Pat Burns signed pucks floating around out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
