Item Sent: 1984-85 O-Pee-Chee, 1991-92 Score Canadian
Item Received: 1984-85 O-Pee-Chee, 1991-92 Score Canadian.  Both signed in black Sharpie.

Notes:
My 500th success since starting this blog!  This is my second success from legendary defenseman Phil Housley.  I hate to double-dip, but in my defense my first request (in April 2010) included a different card than what I sent Mr. Housley.  Plus, I had not yet decided to focus my hockey collection on specific sets.  This time he signed the cards I sent.  This should mean I'm done pestering him.  Thanks for your generosity in signing for my twice over the last year and a half, Mr. Housley!

Item Sent: 1990-91 Upper Deck French
Item Received: 2003-04 Upper Deck signed in blue Sharpie. (Returned my card unsigned.)

Notes:
I wonder if Mr. Housley houses his share of animosity toward the Winnipeg Jets.  I saw another report online claiming he signed all the cards someone sent of him in Buffalo Sabres and Calgary Flames uniforms, but returned the Jets card unsigned.  Since I have a perverse affection toward defunct teams, I naturally sent him a Jets card, which he returned unsigned, along with a signed 2003 card, in a Toronto Maple Leafs uniform.  It doesn't bother me, I just find it curious.  Thank you for the autograph, Mr. Housley!
