HARVARD, Ill., -- Ron Sheppard of Harvard began his Bears collection of posters, footballs, trinkets and figurines about 30 years ago. More than $30,000 later, he's amassed more than 2,700 items.

They fill the basement of his home, a rich shrine to the Bears.

WGNTV paid a visit ahead of this weekend's Bears' playoff game. Watch the video above.
