I had a nice day

Whitesox27 · Sep 13, 2013

Hey guys. I just got back from an autograph signing at Jim & Steve's in Waukegan, IL. Chris Sale was signing there, and he's one of my favorites. I had a cool time. He was nice and the autograph came out great. I also got a second auto for grandpa, who's been a Sox fan for 70 years. Thanks for the view, and sorry for the blurry pic.

Haha. It's not the best auto I've ever seen, but I still like it.

Thanks. It cost me $30. Pretty good deal IMO for one of the best young pitchers in the game.

That's awesome! Nice pickup, that must have been fun!

There's nothing better than an LCS signing. I think Gilmore would tell u that some of the best times he's had in the hobby were having guys like Bobby Cox and AJ Green come in store. Not only for him but for his loyal customers too.

Doesn't take much to be better than the scribble Sale made...but WOW awesome Biggio

Mike Schmidt would publicly embarrass someone for that scribble of an auto. But that's cool to meet him and get the sig. $30 is pretty damn good too.

I remember going to "Jim and Steve"s when it was just a small card show in Steve's parents living room. That's right...his Dad had card shows in his living room and little Steve, who couldnt have been more than 5 or 6 would run through all the time. Steve's dad Jim was a decent man who could be a bit gruff at times but in the loveable gruff way. LOL. I am glad to see that Steve has continued in his Dad's foot steps with the business his dad started in their living room. I really need to get up there sooner rather than later.

Very cool. Sale is such a great and underrated pitcher.

Haha, I had a good time. His auto isn't great, but he signed it very nicely on the ball.

I agree. IP signings are so much fun.

Yep, the auto isn't great, but for $30, you can't go wrong.

Wow, that's a great story. I like the shop, but its really disorganized and its a bit overpriced on certain stuff.

i agree. If he didn't have a crappy team behind him, He could have 16-17 wins.
