Hey there.
I don't post often, and I haven't in a while, but I wanted to share this with people who will realize the awesomeness of my most recent Christmas gift.

Chicago 2009 "Cubs" shirt......autographed by Eddie Vedder. My boss got it for me and has been holding onto it for months, got it at my Christmas party Monday.

I wept.

Thanks for reading!

    Very nice!

    As a framer, just beware that anything touching glass has the potential to stick to it, so you may want to make sure that signature and number are not touching the glass.

    :D
