My Cubs and Bears Collection

Because I have moved into the DC area, I have decided to widen my autograph collecting habits.  So I forked out the money for the 2012 Orioles FanFest and purchased tickets for the following people (still trying to obtain former Cubs players for my collection):

Zach Britton, Ryan Flaherty (ex-Cub for my collection), Tommy Hunter, Oliver Drake, Dana Eveland, Jim Palmer, JJ Hardy, Jai Miller, Troy Patton, Taylor Teagarden

I am hoping that I will be able to trade some of these for the current and former Cubs autographs I need.  I would alos like to throw a shoutout to a great asset in my Cubs and Bears autograph collection - DJAUWERDA from www.sportscardforum.com.  Due to his proximity in the chicagoland area he has been able to provide me with some much needed autographs and invaluable insight into the collecting world.  I hope to be able to repay him as much as I can.  I would also lioke to say thank you to FREDDYCUB on www.sportsgraphing.com for his work on Chicago Bears autos for me.

In the mail this past week I have received 4x6 custom photos signed by Julius Peppers and Patrick Mannelly.  I have also won a few ebay auctions of Cubs and Bears autographs.  I hope to have the pictures posted this weekend.
