          I'm looking for a black alternate jersey: first choice would be a #59 Edgar Gonzalez, after that I'm looking for something relatively inexpensive.
          If a Gonzalez #59 green turns up, I'd be interested in that as well.
          Contact info is below.
          Thanks!

                I am planning on going, since I have tickets to the game that follows. After last years near give away prices, there wasn't that much left at the end. Since I pass by the stadium every day and the event will be in the parking lot. I may drop in on Friday afternoon to look into buying some tickets to future games. I should be able to get the lay of the land while i ma there. What style of Hannahan jerseys are you looking for?

                        Just thought I would bump this since it is tomorrow. I am looking for a few Jack Hannahan things. I am looking for a home (cool base), grey (regular), and green (cool base) jersey. I know they sold for $60 last year, but I would be willing to go $200 each on these.

                        Just in case they have anything else, I would go $500-600 on the 1939 TBTC Oaks Hannahan jersey (#22) if it is there and $300 for his black helmet or $150 for a home.

                        Thanks guys!

                          I just got back from the A's fanfest/Tailgate and game. They did not have as wide a selection this year as they did last year. (only a 2 sided list instead of 4 pages they had last year.) Prices were not bad. Non-stars, coaches and non star players no longer on the A's were $50. Returning regulars atarted at $100 and went uo to $250(Nomar and Holliday included) Most of the jerseys were from 2008 or 09. I did not get there as early as I wanted to but it sounded like it would not have mattered. I first few people out of the tent were carring boxes of unifroms and bats. A few of workers were talking about a couple of $2k purchases early.

                          A couple of interesting items they had were stacks of line up card, some MLB auth most from 2008-09. Although my sister found one from 2003 signed by manager Art Howe. They were 4 for $10 They also had a table full of game used TBTC 1929 Chicago White Sox pants from last year. Most were non stars and coaches.

                          For those of you who Emailed me about picking this up. I did get some stuff. I will let you know via email this weekend if I got your stuff or not.

                              The A's Fan Appreciation Tailgate was held in a partitioned outdoor area of the main parking lot between 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Saturday before an A's v. Giants game. The memorabilia sale tent was inside the partitioned area. So, in order to reach the memorabilia sale, fans had to stand in the tailgate line, and once inside, the memorabilia sale line. When I arrived at 9:00 a.m., there were already approximately 1,200 to 1,300 fans in line for the tailgate. Once I reached the memorabilia sale, there were about 20 fans in the tent, and 60 fans in front of me waiting their turn to enter the tent. According to the price list, there were fewer jerseys and equipment than in past years. For example, there was only one Kurt Suzuki jersey, and no Jason Giambi jerseys. Also, there were only a handful of game-used caps and helmets, and no BP jerseys or jackets. The prices were modest for commons -- $50 to $150 -- and names -- $200 to $250. The most expensive jerseys at $250 were Suzuki, Chavez, Garciaparra, Bailey, Duchscherer, Holliday, Ellis, and Sweeney. Of course, given the modest pricing, those were all sold immediately per a Tailgate worker. By the time I got into the tent, a couple Ellis and Sweeney jerseys were all that were left of these higher priced jerseys. I heard the same comment as another forum member that was told by a Tailgate worker that several collectors left with $2,000 purchases. Significantly, the A's no longer issue Certificates of Authenticity. It seems the A's will remain with this format as fans were polled by an A's marketing representative about the Tailgate. We were asked questions like, "How did you learn about the Tailgate?", "What did you think of the autograph system?", "What did you think about the memorabilia sale system?", "Would you come back next year if we had the same format?"
