I guess you can say I am lucky living in the Chicagoland area. We are blessed with many great athletes and with teams/stores that host public signings. The Chicago Bears and the Chicago Blackhawks are the best for this. So with that being said I thought I would start a thread and chronicle my IP autograph collecting. I usually get at least 1 a week, sometime more. I will update this as I obtain the autographs ( will only be IP auto's). My first update will be from this past weekend when I met Brent Seabrook. Please keep coming back to check the thread as I add because there are many players still scheduled to meet this month. So far this month I am scheduled to meet the following athletes in person as well: Derrick Rose 3/13 Mike Singletary 3/12 Jim McMahon 3/12 Mike Vick 3/12 DJ Moore 3/12 Yale lary 3/12 Phil Regan 3/12 Sam bradford 3/13 Charlie Joiner 3/13 Roger Wehrli 3/13 Bob Love 3/26 Tomas Kopecky 3/15 Mike Hardenstien 3/26 Bob Avellini 3/26 Kurt Becker 3/19 McDonald's All-America Game 3/30 (i am working the event registering the players) Now for the pics of the additions!

Time for another update!This is another two part update. This will contain yesterday Friday May 6th, as well as Today May 7th. Yesterday I was able to meet Marcos Mateo, relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. It was held at a baseball card shop about 45 minutes from my house. It is called The Baseball Card King. Let me tell you this is a great shop! Great selection, collection and the people are nothing but nice. Quite a few of my updates come fro their signings. Anyway, Marcos pitched yesterday, I was listening to the game on my way to the signing so I knew right away he was going to be late. No biggie, didn't really have anything else to do and they had the Bulls game on the big screen at the shop. He showed up a little more than an hour late. He was a very nice guy but also VERY nervous. He doesn't speak english and this was his first ever signing. Anyone who asked for inscriptions had to have them translated to him but he would gladly give you what you wanted. I got two items signed, I am starting a Cubs project, nothing big just a poster than I will frame. I figure its something I can put any Cubs player on. The second item was a Cubs Jersey signed by approx 25 players. This will be another raffle prize for the Make A Wish Foundation Bar Crawl raffle. Enough rambling, here are the pics!
