Yesterday, I got 16 autographs for free from current Milwaukee Bucks and former Philadelphia 76ers center Samuel Dalembert, 16 different cards signed, at an appearance in West Milwaukee, WI, outside of Milwaukee. I brought the family, and there was a total of 3 people in line. I love signings in Wisconsin!

Today I went a bit outside of my sports norm and got autographs from a skateboarding legend and a skateboarding star, at an appearance at a nearby mall in Vernon Hills, IL. I got 1 autograph from skateboarding star John Cardiel on a 4x6 handed out by the store, and 3 autographs from skateboarding legend Tony Alva, two on the free 4x6's handed out, and one on an 8x10 that I had printed, all for free.

Yesterday, I went to the Chicago White Sox home game against the Tampa Bay Rays at US Cellular Field, and I was able to get a single autograph, but a good one, in my opinion, of White Sox closer Addison Reed. Reed signed his 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter rookie card.

This past Thursday, I went to a book signing by Gabrielle (Gabby) Douglas, who won a gold medal in the individual all-around and the team all-around in gymnastics at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London. She would only sign copies of her book, so I got two books signed, in Skokie, IL.
