I made this one intending to sell it. I still have it, but am waiting to get a third HOF caliber autograph to complete the look I want.
The first autograph was Kerry Wood on 04/06/12 at Jim & Steve's card shop in Waukegan, IL. I live only a few miles away so it was easy to get there and pay the fee to have him sign it. Kerry said "It's cool, where did you get it?" I told him I made it and he seemed pleased to sign it.
The second autograph was Ferguson Jenkins who was a guest cook at the Meijer's in Rolling Meadows, IL 04/07/12. Fergie was kind enough to include HOF 1991 and 284 wins along with his centrally placed signature.
I remember this weekend was quite a fiasco with my ex-wife demanding I pick up my kids in Palatine Friday evening after getting the Kerry Wood autograph, and then having to drive back home to Gurnee, and then driving to Rolling Meadows the next morning to get Fergie's autograph instead of just getting the autographs and the kids in one shot.
