  Chopper, 3 of the Heisman/HOF'ers are going to be at this show. Tim Brown actually brings the list to 9. With the exception to Doak Walker (Deceased) and Roger Staubach, all of them sign frequently. Brilis, heres a new collection you can start.

  Dave Casper added, $69 for a premium. I'll pass. Hopefully I can get him in Canton a little cheaper. This is his 3rd or 4th appearance in Chicago in 3 years.

  Hey Guys,
  
  
  
  New to the forum. I've lived in Chicago but never attended 1 of these. Has anyone ever bought a VIP package? If so, are they at all worth it? I saw that a random autograph from the lineup is included but it seems like you could range from lucking out with a great player to being stuck with someone who you'd have no desire to get. If anyone could share some insight, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

  Moneyline, I've attended the Chicago show for the last ten plus years and I personally do not believe the VIP is worth the price. Although if being first in line is important then I would say yes. In my opinion, the percentage of obtaining a big name autograph ticket within your VIP package is low. You are better off saving the money spent on the VIP package and purchasing a ticket for someone you truly want. Just my $.02 and welcome to the board.

  Hi Bats, thanks a bunch for the input. Still pondering things but most likely will heed your advice. My only other question is when do you find out who the random autograph ticket - when you purchase or when you get to the show? I'd assume at time of purchase so you could bring an appropriate item for that person to sign but I could be wrong.

  You find out who the random person is when you pick up your VIP package at the show.

  That is the other issue; once you pick up your VIP package then can you find an item for that player?

  Problem ? Nah.
  
  
  
  All you gotta do is bring a full size for each person in the lineup, that you didn't purchase tix for, and one of them will end up working for the mystery bonus person.
  
  
  
  Simple enough, right ?

  Thanks guys. Stuff came up so won't be attending this weekend but looking forward to hearing a few reports from people who did make it over there.

  I attended today for Chopper and his Fouts mini helmet. Fouts was a little grumpy although the helmet turned out good. This show is very small in comparison to the March and November Fanatics show. Approximately five rows of vendors and the show was empty. Basically no line for athletes signing today. I'm curious if the vendors even break even considering booth price, travel time and accommodations. I'm attending again tomorrow for Penny and Ditka. Definitely looking forward to the National here in July.

  Wow, well that was going above and beyond ! Many thanks for grabbing my Fouts auto. You know I'll return the favor when the opportunity arises.

  Attended today for Penny and Ditka. A very relaxed show with minimal crowd, no lines for ticket sales and autograph bullpen had approximately 50 people waiting. Penny signed for about 10-15 minutes and he was done. Kind of sad considering how nice of a guy he is. I was told Ditka sold the most tickets. Great experience with Da Coach as commented on my Cowboys gear and custom Cowboys helmet. After he signed my helmet he managed to say, "Go Boys". Ditka was definitely a highlight!
  
  
  
  Brills, your football came out really nice.
  
  
  
  Bozman, no word on the Canton show.
