  Lee Smith and Dick Butkus added. I received an email from them a few weeks ago, it sounds like it's going to be Chicago Bears heavy. That would be nice, they finally have a Good team.

  Like the boxing theme on Friday! I don't recall them ever doing such a theme in Chicago.

  Who ever the new promoters are after the Fanatics exit I really like the direction they've taken this. Instead of the same signers over and over they've been trying new concepts and taking risks. I'll definitely be at this show and picking up quite a few signers which means I'll be going VIP again.

  I’m pretty sure it’s the Mounted Memories folks again.
  
  
  
  I agree they do a great job, and I’d go as far to say that they put together the best lineups of the Big 4.
  
  
  
  I was however disappointed with the slow release of their guest announcements for this show though, it was slowest I’ve seen them release names, probably ever. Hopefully it was only a one time thing, and not what is to be expected going forward.

  Nice to see a lot of the guys are doing free inscriptions.

  This line-up is Weak, sorry. The Boxing theme is kinda Cool. CSA Show looks Awesome, Fanatics needs to be more like them. Also would be nice if some current Blackhawks could appear, they only won 3 Stanley Cups since 2010.

  Very rare you see hockey guys especially at a Chicago show. Steelerfan, are you attending the show?

  I'm passing on this one, I'll save up for The National. I really only need a few of the guys that are usually at Canton anyways.

  Wow... that is pretty huge news... It seemed like steiner was getting less involved or not doing as strong as in years past so i guess it isnt too shocking. However i hope they do more shows in different locations than chicago now. If they went to their old format doing shows in say new york philly i think they did one in baltimore too not sure. I even like seeing rich altman doing one in nashville this october. But still very interesting news as long as fanatics doesnt act like a$$holes not letting people get custom things signed or only let then signed officially licensed bullcrap.

  Well they are absolutely the gorilla in the room now......... get ready for another big step in the way memorabilia is run...... not good news for one company to have so much power...... Steiner was no innocent child, they helped change the landscape of autographs 20 plus years ago......but fanatics will most likely take it to another level for the 2020’s and beyond........

  They've already started doing this.

  I'd say good riddance to Steiner, but I am afraid Fanatics will eventually grow into a monster.

  Most of us being from the tri-state area have all had our negative run ins with Steiner either the man or the company. This is not good news though. I find Fanatics to be very difficult to deal with and it’s only going to get worse
