Autograph Archives: Tribute to Female Hockey

Collecting certified women's autographs has been a side collection of mine.  As far as I know I'm only missing 3 females to complete this collection, none of which I've had the opportunity to buy.  They are a 06/07 ITG Going for Gold Cherie Piper and 97/98 Esso Autographs of Nancy Drolet and Geraldine Heaney, the last two I haven't even been able to confirm exist.  I also have an Angela James auto that can been seen in this earlier post.  As per my other Autograph Archives posts, none of these signatures have previously appeared on this site.  Hopefully we'll see some new female autographs released in the near future.
