I usually like these puzzles but after googling possibilities for an hour I'm nowhere. Anything else you can remember? Chicago player? Minor/Major leaguer? Old/young?

Wow! You didn't have to do that! There are only a few more things. It is one of the newer non-league balls (which I think started in 2000). I moved to Chicago in 1999. Its Major league for sure. Only two shows I went to then was one in the Chicago area (I remember I had Ryne Sandberg sign for me then) and 2002 all star game show in Milwaukee. (I remember I had Bob Horner sign then). So, it has to be one of those shows. Now that you sparked my memory I'll see if I can find adds of who signed at those shows.

I am going to make a pretty sure good guess. 2002 National Sports Collector Convention at Donald E. Stevens Convention Center in Rosemont (Chicago). But there were 89 players past and current (then) signing. I can't find a list of them though. I remember standing in long lines to get autographs at that show.

One more tidbit I am finding online. I am pretty sure I also got Dwight Gooden and Milt Pappas at that show. Maybe Reggie Jackson (not sure about that one).
I bet the listing may have been in Sports Collectors Digest (which I didn't keep from that long ago). |

If that can be verified I would be interested.
Follow up question - does anyone have an address for Adrian Zmed? |

I see 'TJ' Somethingorother and what *might* be 'P/39'
TJ Mathews finished his pitching career with Houston in 2002 wearing that number and was a Chicagoland native. Seems like the sort of guy who would be a freebie autograph at a show since he was a local. But I can't even squint and see 'Mathews' as the last name on that ball. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
