Packaging & Signing Instructions
Proper packaging helps ensure your item arrives safely and is signed according to your request.
Packaging Guidelines
- Hockey Cards / Photographs – place in a sleeve or toploader and sandwich between cardboard
- Jerseys – fold carefully and place inside a protective plastic bag
- Pucks – use a puck cube or wrap with bubble wrap
Always ship items in a sturdy box and use a service that includes tracking so your package can be monitored during transit.
Signing Instructions
Attach a Post-it note or removable tag directly to the item indicating:
- Preferred ink color
- Any inscription requests
- Special signing instructions
Please include your name on the back of the item so we can easily match it with your mail order form during the signing.
Avoid placing tape directly on photographs or memorabilia surfaces that could cause damage.
Mail-In Submission Deadlines
Each autograph signing has a mail-in submission deadline to ensure all items are received and processed before the event.
Collectors should ensure their items arrive well before the listed deadline for each signing.
Submission deadlines may vary depending on:
- The athlete signing
- The event location
- Processing time required
We strongly recommend sending items as early as possible to avoid delays or missed signings.
If your item arrives after the deadline, it may be held for a future signing or returned to the sender. Customers will be contacted if their submission arrives after the deadline.
