So is this nothingmore than an autograph show with some auction houses and other vendors showing up? I am curious as it seems that is all the web site is advertising for. I am not too far from there and will go if it is more than just an autograph/auction house show.

If anyone sees any Josh Johnson stuff, please keep me in mind

As I understand, it's basically a smaller version of the national card show. You'll have a split of cards and memorabilia and they advertise the autograph guests more than anything because that's where a significant portion of their revenue is coming from. Based on what I've heard it's mostly a card show.

It might be worth a visit especially if it is more of a card show than anything else.

Unless they radically changed the format, it's essentially a card show with auto guests as well. I'd guess something like 100 tables.

If anyone goes can I make a request to keep an eye out for 2007 immortal signatures?

Bring you own food. The food at the show is terrible.

This is essentially the Chicago Sun Times show.

Fanatics whatever the hell is a subsidiary of Mounted Memories who have been sponsoring these shows for a while now.

Spring and fall are in Rosemont, and there is a summer show in Schaumburg that was a bit smaller scale the time that I went.

Anyone else going?
