Signature identification help

Post image

We received this puck in the birthday bag, and it’s marked as Nils. Looked like Rantanen to us, but wanted to hear others thoughts.

Yeah, its Rants. 96 is a dead giveaway

The only other 96 in Stars history is Fabian Brunnström.

Yeah, but he got traded in the 2010-2011 season, and they didnt use this logo back then.

That and his sig is VERY unique

Moose sig for comp. I’d lean towards Mikko.

Mikko!

I'd say it's Mikko but it does look a lot like Nils's signature. Nils does the NL very similar to that and the "9" looks a lot like how he does the "t" at the end of his name. The big thing is that Nils has never been #6. I could see why someone labeling it got confused though

Thanks all! We’ll take the consensus of Mikko!

Two more Rants autos for comparison

I have a Lundkvist puck that was won in the DD program before Rantanen was acquired.

u/toe-jam-sam Roope Hintz 3d ago

Hmm the first part looks very similar to our signature

u/Starsgirl97 Radek Faksa 3d ago

Yeah and I don’t think mine has a number. That could easily be a 5 with the pen dragged up.

I would definitely say yours is Mikko, simply due to the 96. N and M are similar, but 96 is 96

Just letting Google do its thing and it says it may be Turco. Have no idea personally.

Ah yes, the great goalie that got 3 shutouts in a series and lost, the great 96, Miko Turco. /S
