Brewers on Deck January 31st

[billyhallfan]

Bikeage77, What about the people behind you in line. We didn't discourage you from getting Yount. You would have made it easily. I also chatted with BiilyHallFan there. I assume I seen tnweill get his brick signed by Greg Vaughn, but I didn't really look at him as much as the brick being signed.

 

I dragged my wife and we ended up getting...

 

Yount signed on a 16x20 World Series picture

Yount signed SI

Doug Davis OMLB sweetspot

Jody Gerut OMLB sweetspot w/ROY inscription

Josh Butler OMLB

Greg Zaun OMLB

Mitch Stetter 8x10

John Axford OMLB

LaTroy Hawkins OMLB

Alcides Escobar 8X10 which Escobar wanted me to give to him

Mat Gamel photo card which I gave away. I have enough Gamel autos

Greg Vaughn 8x10

Larry Hisle photo card

 

 

I wasn't able to check out the rummage areas, and the grab bags didn't interest me this year.

Escobar always wants photos of himself, haha...The first time I got him on one, he asked for it, so now I always print out an extra to give to him...

Thanks for the picture, ekutchery.

 

And yeah, that is definitely an unimpressive trophy...looks like an oversized communion cup.

I went to the Bucks game Saturday night, and never went to sleep after that...for those that saw me at the on deck, I had to have looked awful, because I felt it, haha. Matt, Paul, Todd, Aaron, Bikeage77, brewerssupercollector, etc...nice seeing all of you...I sort of had an idea as to where to get some of my stuff signed, so I guessed a little. Had the best experience I've ever had with Prince. He loved the photos I had to get signed, and at one point asked if I had more...I waited in line for Yount at the on deck...and with help got him 3 times.

 

I really really messed up with Braun. I missed him two or three times by minutes...But I can't complain because I got everything else that I had signed...Now I've got some projects to complete for the summer! I'm going to have to try to get to Chicago to get Cameron when he comes in with Boston.

 

It was a lot of fun, but I'm glad to have some sleep...haha, I think I was up 32 hours! And no, none of this is for sale or trade.

 

First off - this is a trade I made with tnweill...I traded him some Blackhawk autographs for a Yount HOF Ball, County Stadium Ball, and 3000 stub...and then the other ball I got myself:

Then this is the stuff I got signed, can't wait to get a lot of it framed, but for now, it will be comfortable in the closet. (all 8x10's)

Hoffman and Bush on 16x20's...Got two Hoffman's, one was for tnweill...I only printed a Bush 16x20 to have him write "Mr. October, the first playoff win in 26 years." He laughed a lot, but he said he wouldn't do it...it was really funny though...Parra was with him and couldn't stop laughing.

Prince on a couple more 16x20's:

Hart and Cirillo 11x14's (one of the dealers said to Jeff that I was the only fan here, and I was a die hard Brewers fan...Cirillo said that's BS, I never saw him out at County Stadium...he can't be that big of a fan...haha. It was really funny, he was super cool, I got my picture taken with him and vaughn)

It was nice seeing some of the BF.netters again, and it was a nice taste of summer in the middle of winter.

Billyhallfan,

 

I think I saw you get Cirillo's sig. on your 11x14 at the On Deck, I was just behind you. I know your a big collector, would have loved to talk to ya about this Brewers print I just got framed called "The Franchise" and what its worth.

 

Any way, I ended up getting my grey Russell Athletic 25th anniversary Diamond Collection Cirillo jersey signed as well as my Greg Vaughn 1992 pinstripe Rawlings button up. Vaughn put 93, 96 and 98 A.S. for his all star years, even though I only wanted his 93 year. I also got Gorman Thomas on a 1982 powder blue number 20 jersey I had made overseas. Good day overall.

[billyhallfan]

Thanks...I don't know what that is though...and that wasn't me getting Cirillo at the on deck...thanks though.

[bobbledude25]

Hallfan- Did Prince and Yount sign multiple items for you?

[billyhallfan]

ya...prince asked if i had more, but i ran out!

[gypcasino]

I didn't come across the 82 trophy,

 

What? How in the world did you miss it.

[tony2sweet]

Billihallfan,

 

I saw a guy get the same Cirillo photo signed that you posted, my bad.

 

The Brewers "The Franchise" lithograph was created after the Brewers fans voted on the 25th anniversary team in 1994. Its has all the players from that team and was autographed by the entire 25th team as well. The artist is Terrence Fogarty. I think its a pretty rare item. I had only seen it at county stadium when I was a kid. I got lucky on ebay one day and there it was. Its signed by:

 

Yount

Molitor

Gantner

Cooper

Oglivie

Thomas

Fingers

Simmons

Vuckovich

Caldwell

G. Vaughn

Money

Vaughn put 93, 96 and 98 A.S. for his all star years, even though I only wanted his 93 year

 

 

We got Vaughn to start signing while he was finishing up taking pictures, my buddy asked him to put "Vaughn's Valley" but he wouldn't do it.

 

Brian, you cleaned house!

[mattsr0625]

Brian Can you email me mbasquez@hotmail.com. Thanks

[jnatro]

Vaughn put "Vaughn's Valley" on my SS ROMLB.

[Barrelman19]

I wasn't impressed with Vaughn. He wouldn't sign my ball on the sweet spot and used a black sharpie. I tried handing him a blue pen and he said he already had a pen to use.

[billyhallfan]

Brian Can you email me mbasquez@hotmail.com. Thanks

done.

[Bikeage77]

Vaughn put "Vaughn's Valley" on my SS ROMLB.

Jealous!!!!!

 

[jnatro]

Vaughn was pretty cool when I got the ball signed. He used my pen and automatically sweet-spotted & asked where to write "Vaughn's Valley." I was one of the first few people at his table and there wasn't much of a line, so I guess my timing was right.
