From personal experience, it's about 1 out of 4, but that's a pretty small sample size. I got a signed Fleury jersey about two years ago or so.
Just found out, my wife sprung for one of the gold ones this year. Hoping to get a Mario signed jersey, but I'm guessing those are really rare.

That's awesome, sounds like you've got a keeper there. My wife said I could get a black one for now. Good luck!

So the first three years I got bad puck signings...in fact every player I got was than traded or right before I got my bag:
-Simon Depres
-Derrick Polliout
- Carter Rowney
For the Alumni pucks they used to give out I got Colby and Troy Loney. So you could say my luck not so great...than the 4th year I hit it big. I got me a signed Crosby Jersey and a signed Malkin puck. After that bag nothing else really mattered to me. If the normal trend continues I'll most likely get a Tanner Pearson one LOL...don't really want anymore jerseys though...I don't think Fiance would let me hang up two LOL. I just want a Dumo signed puck. Behind Malkin he's my other current fav Pen.
My bigger thing with the bags is that it goes to a great cause and some of the things I've gotten over time have been used quite a lot. The boobleheads have taken over area around my TV and office at work. The bag it came in two years ago is a great carry on bag when I fly and the pet calendar is always cool to hang up. This year I'm happy they changed up the players on the boobleheads and we get Guentzy. I also like how this year it is a insulted bag so I can use it as a cooler down here in this redic Houston, TX heat. Was hoping to get it before I head to Miami 3/27 for my bachelor party but doesn't look like that is gonna happen.

That would require the Pens administrative offices to give a flying-poo about their STHs.
