QUOTE(Gforce083 @ May 8 2011, 09:43 PM) Sweet. Are there any upcoming Forte signings or possibly 85 bears signings you're planning on going to? Forte signed 3 times last week so I wouldn't expect another for a month or two possibly. As for '85 Bears yes, but they are paid. If you wait you can get them for free, with the exception of LA Mike Richardson... he always charges but he does need the money. 5/20 - McKinnon 5/21 - Richardson, Moorehead 5/22 - Shaun Gayle

Here is the first update I have done that I am not pleased with. Now don't get me wrong, I still received a free autograph from a Top 50 NBA all time player and hall of famer but let me tell you the back story. Tuesday Night I get a call that Scottie Pippen is going to be signing free autographs at a local T-Mobile store in downtown Chicago. I immediately tell him I can not go due to not wanting to take another day off work (I took 2 days the previous week). Now as the night went on (and the beers went down) I started to think about it some more. Scottie Pippen just charged $200+ at the Mounted Memories show and that was only for a photo, the price only went up from there! So I took the day off work and went downtown at 10am for a 5pm signing. I am 9th in line. 4pm comes around and the store manager walks out and tell us that no outside memorabilia will be signed, even though 3 of us called and asked that specific question before we went. The 400+ people in line started to get all sorts of upset. Scottie shows up on time, 5pm in his 200K+ car and greats the fans with a smile and a wave. We are now thinking he is in a good mood and will sign our stuff. Just as we walk in the store (groups of 10 let in) they tell us that 1 outside item can be signed. We go nuts, as I bought a jersey for him to sign. As we finally walk up to Scottie he points out directly at my friend and I and says "Hey they have stuff, I'm not gonna sign none of that" and with that the manager and agent made everyone put their stuff away and we ended up with the photo below. So in summary, I used 8 hours of PTO, spend money on a Scottie Pippen jersey and stood in line for 7 hours and ended up with something I am going to sell to a friend for $40
