Roberto Garza (Bears) - 11/28/11 - Verizon Wireless Store, Elmhurst, IL

Another report from CSAC member Shane:

This evening, my wife and I braved a cold line outside of the new Verizon Wireless store in Elmhurst to get a chance to meet current Bears center, Roberto Garza.  Once inside, we spoke with Roberto for a bit and congratulated him on a great season so far.  He made time to sign everyone's items and was great about posing for pictures with everyone who asked.

Alex Brown (Bears) - 11/19/11 - Jewel/Osco, Oak Forest, IL

Report from Shane, a member of CSAC:

I had the chance to stop into the Jewel/Osco in Oak Forest and chat with Bears veteran, Alex Brown for a bit.  We talked a bit about podcasting and the show that he's been doing with Desmond Clark every week at the Playbook Lounge in Niles.  Alex was kind enough to sign a few items and was a pleasure to meet!

Gabe Carimi (Bears) - 10/30/11 - Dick's Sporting Goods, Naperville, IL

Blog event submission from, Shane, a valued CSAC member:

While my wife and I weren't able to make it to catch Earl Bennett on Saturday, we did stop in at Dick's Sporting Goods in Naperville on a rainy Sunday afternoon and chat with Gabe Carimi.  Nice guy - very willing to sign several items!

We welcome everyone's submissions, so if you're going out to an event that you found on CSAC, we would love to hear about it....and don't forget to snap a photo or two!

Dan Hampton - 10/29/11 - Jim & Steve's Sportscards, Waukegan, IL

The crowd started gathering early on a bright, sunny Saturday morning as Hall Of  Famer and Bears legend Dan Hampton made his way to Jim & Steve's. Entering the store to a hefty applause, the affable former defensive tackle and Superbowl XX champion greeted those in line and didn't stop chatting, talking football and sharing stories from the past for the next two hours. Everyone left with an autograph and a smile.

Donnell Woolford - 10/22/11 - The Baseball Card King!, Oak Lawn, IL

Bears fans young and old came out to the Baseball Card King! in Oak Lawn on Saturday to meet former Bear and fan favorite Donnell Woolford. Donnell returned to the Chicago area to participate in some charity events and to reconnect with his Chicago fans. Photos, mini helmets, posters and banners were signed and everyone had a great time!

CSAC was on hand as usual, signing up new and return members at 10% off. One lucky member pulled a limited edition promo card signed by Hall of Famer Frank Robinson at this event! This is the second Frank Robinson signed card in the last few weeks we have given away to someone who signed up for membership at one of our remote events!

You too can become one of many happy collectors by coming out to our next remote sign up event which will be this Saturday, October 29th at Jim & Steve's in Waukegan for the Dan Hampton signing. Hope to see you there! www.csac.biz.

Nick Reed - 10/11/11 - The Baseball Card King!, Oak Lawn, IL

After a tough loss on Monday night vs the Lions in Detroit, it would have been reasonable for Nick to take Tuesday off and rest up for the Vikings on Sunday night, but no...Nick spent his Tuesday evening with Bears fans and collectors at The Baseball Card King! in Oak Lawn, signing autographs and discussing how to get the Bears back on track.

Next up at the King! Donnell Woolford on Oct. 22nd. Come on out and meet one of the most popular former Bears at a rare appearance!
