Jan Caloun

Jan Caloun

Retired player.

Autographed card purchased at the Chicago Blackhawks Convention in July 2012.

Jan Caloun did not have a very long NHL career--13 games with the San Jose Sharks and 11 games for the Columbus Blue Jackets. But he did have a long-spanning professional career that lasted from 1990 to 2009. He played in the AHL, IHL, Russia, the Czech league and in Finland.

This card is from the 1993 Classic 4 Sport set. It is a signed insert, autographed in thin blue marker. Caloun has a very nice signature--you can actually read his name! Notice that he signs his last (family) name first, then his given name. 

I only paid $1.00 for this card. Sure, Caloun did not have a long NHL career, but he played pro for nearly 2 decades.
