It's come to this: My Dan Hampton Needs List



I never thought I would see the day that I would create a needs list for a Chicago Bears player but here we are. As a life long Packers fan who grew up in western Wisconsin, the rivalry I always cared about was Packers/Vikings much more than Packers/Bears. Although I certainly hated Kevin Butler and Neal Anderson as a kid.

But as a sports writer in Decatur, Illinois which was the original home of Bears, it's impossible for me to escape the team that started as the Decatur Staleys in 1920 before becoming the Chicago Staleys in 1921 and then the Chicago Bears in 1922.

A couple of weeks ago, I interviewed Dan Hampton about an upcoming speaking engagement he had in Decatur and so what better inspiration to build a collection?

This is by no means a complete list and is mainly Hampton's cards from his playing days. I'm always looking for Hampton rookies, of course, and autographs.

I'd say this is probably a better justification for collecting someone than 90% of the guys I PC. I'm a Packer fan too, so I highly dislike the Bears. That being said... it's hard not to respect greatness. That 80's Bears defense that Hampton played for was awesome. Best of luck with your PC. Looks like most of these should be easy to cross off.

I'm a Packers fan who collects Dan Hampton, too. It feels weird to seek out Hampton, Singletary, and Urlacher, but they are part of my NFL All-Decade team collection, so I do. I just checked, but I don't have any Hampton dupes you need, though.
