autographs, signings, and tips, part 2

[jason21nl]

Not sure whats going to push me over. I have to see if I'm going to get the drive to collect them again. If I don't go to any packer player appearances then I think I'll start to get rid of them.

[PeaveyFury]

Sabathia seems somewhat reasonable for $65. Anyone planning on going in on either one of the signings?

[billyhallfan]

peavy, i am, going to call around 10 when jeffs opens, i really can't stand legends of the field, so i will go to jeff...

[billyhallfan]

actually forget that, they won't take my magazine...

[billyhallfan]

well, i just placed my order with legends, i hate supporting them, but i probably would have never gotten cc...and if jeffs won't let me get him on my magazine, i have to go elsewhere...

[jason21nl]

why won't jeffs let you get a magazine signed? do you have to use their items?

[billyhallfan]

yep, which is dumb...must be something with the agent, read the bottom line, so i hope legends does, probably should have called before i ordered

[Bikeage77]

outta curiosity, was the sheets signing 30 or 40 for a bobblehead? i decided it wasn't worth it to drive out there to get my alternate bobble signed from 2005...i regret not trying to get my bobble signed a few years ago when i had the chance, but i've always been trying to complete team balls it never occurred to me. after this season, im done with team balls, it's too hard, especially when yer trying to get one or two guys that are a far cry from a superstar, but wont sign in the player lot (ie mike rivera)

I'm sure its not the agent. Being a private signing Jeff's probably wants to make it as easy as possible and not handle anyones items.

[JimH5]

It seems to be a little odd to call that Sabathia thing a Private Signing. If you can't send in your own items, and you can't attend the event, why don't they just say they'll have autographed photos and balls available on such-and-such a date?

I like Jeff's, but that's the most limiting Private Signing I've ever heard of.

[jnatro]

Jeff's website says they are sold out for the Sabathia signing.

[brwrsfan]

I agree, why didn't they just send out an email that stated..."We'll have a limited supply of Sabathia signed items for sale beginning on such and such date...here are the prices:"

[hofcs]

Waukesha Sportscards took part in the same signing and has items left.

Yesterday at the game got a few signatures. At the players lot got Kendall, Yost, Maddux, Sedar and Skaalen. None of the other players besides Kendall signed. But the best score was during BP getting Gallardo on a ball. He said the knee was feeling good and he hopes to pitch again this season even if its out of the bullpen. I told him we could use an 8th inning guy.

[BrewersSuperCollector]

Does Kendall sign all the time. Kendall and Riske are the only two I need.

[billyhallfan]

kendall is hit or miss, more hit, normally once a series...riske is very good...

 

 

brewcrew-no call ups at all?

[jason21nl]

I think that I will be selling some if not all my autographs coming up real soon.

[billyhallfan]

why are you stopping jason?

[jason21nl]

honestly I have lost the drive to collect them and the person I collected them with is no longer really in my life. Might sound stupid but they kinda make me sad when I look at them because they remind me of the past. Pretty pathetic huh? On top of all that, autograph collecting is expensive and I have more important things to pay for. I really am torn on the idea of selling them though. I love them, I spent a lot of time, money and energy collecting them. Hell one time I waited til 1am for Yount to come out. Not to mention the excitement getting them. You saw how happy I was to get Biggio. But they just don't mean that much to me anymore, so I really really don't know. I do know that people on here will get a chance to purchase them before I go the EBAY route. And I thank Brian for allowing sales on his board. I just don't want to regret it later down the road, ya know?

[hofcs]

I understand where you are coming from. I have been collecting autographs since 1981 and for about a decade I stepped away from things and didn't do much. The last couple of years I have been having an absolute blast being a "kid" again. Unless you need the money, I would just put them away for a while, let them age like a "fine wine" and in five, ten or fifteen years you may find the passion again, or the memories priceless. Just my two cents..........but I have gotten rid of a lot of stuff over the years that I wish I would have back right now. If you still want to sell them however, I might be in a few pieces depending on what you have.

[billyhallfan]

i'll never forget when you got biggio, looked like you had a seizure with as much as you were shaking, it was awesome

[BrewCrewForever]

kendall is hit or miss, more hit, normally once a series...riske is very good...

 

 

brewcrew-no call ups at all?

Nope, didn't even see any of them. Which was weird.

[Barrelman19]

Anybody think I would have any luck at the player's lot before Sunday's game? I didn't know if the players would be more willing to sign before the last game or not, or if there would be a ton of people there.

[Tailgat0r76]

I would think that might depend on if that game means anything or not. If we're tied for the mets that Sunday; I doubt there would be many players signing. If there two games out? I would hope they would sign some autographs

[billyhallfan]

i doubt they sign much at all the entire homestand, they probably won't be in the best spirits, but you never know
