PASabreFan Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I kept waiting for the happy ending, where the owner of Dave and Adam's hands Seymour 4 the certificate and they hug. Alas... OTOH, Seymour didn't exactly value the document too much in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Why not just typeset “Buffalo” and “New York”? Were there so many certificates of ownership handed out by the NHL that they needed to leave the city and state/province blank to be filled in later with some goofy typewriter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 It's probably karma for him and Larry Quinn having inserted themselves in the oldtimers games that were played around the time the MMArena was being built and opened making people pay to watch him play. Nobody was there to see either on the ice, yet there they were. Glad the certificate wasn't destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Buff Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 It boggles the mind how such an important piece of Buffalo Sabres history & our cities history could've been lost to chance or shall i say carelessness. Like i couldn't imagine a story like this occurring with the Leafs or Red Wings or really any other hockey team or professional sports team out there. You'd just expect more mindfulness would've been spent for keeping such an important document preserved for posterity in the 1st place. We're extremely lucky that it was Martin who purchased the auction & not anyone else & that the memorabilia wasn't accidentally destroyed/discarded or sold to another bidder. Thanks for sharing the article! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Scouts Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Here is a great opportunity for Terry Pegula to show Sabre fans how much he loves the Sabres and their history. Make an offer to these guys that they can’t refuse. If Terry was willing to throw money away on the likes of Erhoff, Hodgson and etc....this should be no problem for him, and maybe it buys him some good karma from the hockey gods....
