And Steeler Nation painted the town (of Chantilly) Black & Gold!

It looked more like downtown Pittsburgh when the doors opened up at the Collector’s Showcase of America Summer Show this morning as a sea of Steelers fans rushed in! And Ben was ready for ’em when he sat down to sign autographs and pose for photos – here are just a few that were shared with us:
