Would you like to see my autographs?

Never having the right photograph, notebook, trading card for a Chicago Bear to sign, I decided to always come prepared with blank 3x5 note cards.  Many I have obtained in person through Training Camp, Family Day, all the Fan Conventions and public speaking events.  The rest I have purchased.  I study my signatures quite in detail, and I realize that their are counterfeiters out there.  However, I have sincerely confident that I have the real deal.  I am still seeking a Halas and a Payton that look real and good.

I have all my autographs stored in a nice leather binder, and it appears I have many duplicates.

To celebrate the 75th Anniversary the Gallery of Sport Art, Ltd created a souvenir print that looked like this:

and they also offered an autographed version

The autographed version is valued in excess of $1,000, if not more.  Apparently they did not sell all of those they had, or there was some sort of defect on some of the prints.  So, I guess they cut out some of the autographs and sold them individually.  I bought as many as I could at VERY, VERY, VERY reasonable prices, and they all come with a photographic Certificate of Authenticity.

                                                  

My autographs are truly a gem when it comes to the whole of my collection.  I have obtained MANY of them in person, at Training Camp, Fan Conventions, Private signings and Public speeches.  If any Bear player came to town, I was there to get autographs. 

Oh, and I finally got THIS one.  I am now happy.
