Dave would write about in person collecting at Wrigley Field and the Chicago area long before he became known as a 'Jersey Guy'. I believe he also put out sale lists or advertised in SCD. I seem to recall there may have been some shenigans later, but have no proof so I will not relate any anecdotal information.

Thanks, I didn't realize Dave was autographs as well. I think his game used jersey column was called "The Shirt off My Back"

Dave Miedema was your man.
His autograph article was entitled "Up Autograph Alley" in SCD. I'm looking at an issue from May 25, 1990 as we speak.
