What I knew about Tod Sloan when I sent this card out? He was an old timer (2 key factors in determining that: the black & white picture and the fact that it was an old timers set) and he, apparently played for the Leafs. Also, I had found an address online. So I tried my luck, and if memory serves me right, was successful rather quickly. What I learned about Tod Sloan after I got my card? Well, from the letter that a nice Canada Post employee added to my envelope after ripping it open and adding one of those "Oops, my bad" stickers over the rip, he apparently played minor hockey in Garson, a town about a half hour away from my hometown of Chelmsford. A quick online search showed that he actually played in Copper Cliff, another town a little closer to home, but it's good to know that Canada Post reserves the right to open people's letters as they please...
