sQuish Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 So I was at a close friend's house for a Christmas party and accidentally bumped into one of her cabinets that had a 1994 Trevor Linden Kirk McLean souvenir plate on top of it (the infamous photo from after game 7 of the SCF). Needless to say it fell to the floor and smashed into a million pieces I absolutely felt terrible and promised her I'd replace it... but I've googled/ebayed/craigslisted the hell out of it and all I can seem to find are framed photos or posters of that picture, but not a collectible plate. Any one out there know of a shop or store or any website that might have one? It's probably a long shot but here's hoping... Thanks! Edit: basically the same as this, but a plate (with stand) instead... http://www.ebay.ca/itm/TREVOR-LINDEN-KIRK-MCLEAN-SIGNED-94-CUP-11X14-PHOTO-/360512374202?pt=US_Autographs&hash=item53f03645ba&_uhb=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dittohead Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 one thing I learned after having people over for parties is move the stuff you like and don't want broken because someone will wreck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterlingArcher Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 You can always print the picture from google images and glue it to a plate or I guess you can get it printed on to a http://www.customdesignsprinted.com/diy/plate/porcelain-plate-279 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmm Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 glue it back together, the time and effort spent will make her cherish it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 It was quite likely made at a photo lab using a picture...I'd look into it. I used to collect a lot of memorabilia back then and don't recall ever seeing one offered, so am not of much help beyond this. Accidents do happen and your friend likely should have had it stored a little more safely...bumping a cabinet shouldn't result in breakage if things are secured properly. However, it's really honourable that you're trying to replace it...good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sQuish Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Do you have the name of the company that released the plate? If it's a collectable it should have the name of the company on the bottom and a number. If you can put enough of it together you should be able to pull a name off it. You can contact the company directly or search it more definitively if you know if it were for example Franklin Mint or one of the collectable plate companies. You could also search The Bradford Exchange data base for it. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sQuish Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Shamefully bumping this thread in hopes someone who has one of these plates sees it.... I've been searching endlessly so far and have not seen a single one on the internet anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I have a Pavel Bure Commemorative Plate like the one you speak of. I think I bought it way back in the day at like hallmark store or something like that. I think you might be SOL to get an original one though, but perhaps you can order a custom made one at a place like this: http://www.discountm...CFUXhQgody3oAtA Not sure if your friend would be happy with one made like that but may be worth a shot.

avelanch Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 you'll probably have to just make one yourself. lots of porcelain plate customization places online. I doubt you'll find an original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
