Chicago Bears Autographs - Show Em!

[gonefishin]

I know the Bears didn't win a Super Bowl until 1986, but the passion shown by the Bears fans is undeniable. I'm really not a Bears "fan" but have always admired them - along with the Steelers, Cowboys, early Packers and the San Diego Chargers (Not to be confused with the LA Chargers).

With that said, I do have a few cards and an autographed football of the 1968 Chicago Bears. I acquired this football a few years back because it contained a very tough autograph that I wanted to get - Brian Piccolo. Brian tragically died in 1970 at the age of 26. Everyone knows Piccolo's story and his relationship with Gale Sayers. I can still enjoy watching the movie "Brian's Song" today.

If you have any unique Bears autographs or just ones you would like to share, please do so as we would all like to see them.

Here is the football. Someone made a critical mistake and traced over the Gale Sayers autograph, but they probably were just trying to make it better!

Maybe this is the year of the Bears!

I think the ‘85 Bears are the most iconic team in my lifetime — Sweetness and Mad Mac have a spot in my football section.
