# 8 - Stephen Drew

One of my main goals for this year's Diamondbacks Fan Fest was to get Stephen Drew to sign his card for our set. I got to Chase Field extremely early Saturday morning. Earlier in the week I had bought a few Subway sandwiches so I could become a Subway VIP. The VIP included an early entry to Fan Fest... after the season ticket holders.

Despite being near the front of the VIP line, a few of the autograph tickets were already sold out by the time I got to the front of the line. The sessions for Justin Upton, Kirk Gibson, and Drew were all gone. I was a little disappointed but I still got tickets for a few good tables.

Once inside, I got lucky and caught Stephen walking around in between events. He graciously signed our 2008 Topps card. Thanks, Stephen! Glad to have finally this one as part of our set.

    I'm glad that you got your card done, I know it sucks when you think you're gonna miss out on the one guy you really wanted.
