Other Autograph Acquisitions
Decided to create a page for other autographs that I obtain through trades, pack pulls, purchases, or gifts.
2015 Arizona Fall League and 2016 Cubs Fantasy Camp
This past summer, I met a guy that works security for the Cubs, who has some significant connections around the Arizona Fall League and Cubs events in Arizona. These autographs come from a number of past players and future prospects. The pictures are labeled as best as I can.
Secret Santa 2015 Autographed Ball
My Secret Santa totally blew my mind away this year! She said these were all picked up in person at a minor league game. Included on the ball are, Michael Barrett, Bill Buckner, Ernie Banks, Lee Smith, Billy Williams, Fergie Jenkins, & Jody Davis. Love it!
Zach Petrick 2014 Bowman Green Auto
Picked this one up off eBay. #'d 74/100.

A fellow Cubs autograph collector attended the 2015 Cubs Fantasy Baseball Camp in Arizona the week of January 19, 2015.

Christmas 2013
Christmas 2013 was about old Cubs alumni. My Mother-In-Law was able to secure all of these from Altman's Hollywood Collectibles. The Joe Munson is just on a photocopy, I may turn that one into a custom cut, but the Joe Klippenstein and Mickey Owen are 8 X 10's and very cool.
Jim Flanigan Auto'd Mini-Helmet
Had an unexpected success today... was perusing a local antique dealer and came across a Bears mini in a box for $8 on a random shelf. Figured I'd pick it up to use at the National coming up. Opened it up to clean it up and found out it already had a signature from Jim Flanigan on it. Pretty cool find.
