Great development. Now, if only I could get Mike Acosta to follow-up, after I've made preliminary contact with him...

Email contact with him is terribly spotty. He usually never responds back. Lately i've actually called him but the best thing to do is contact him via his Twitter. Last time I did a deal with him I got in touch via email 1st and he never responded and finally he contacted me after I responded to his twitter.

I think the store is only open during the games. The main team store is open during the day as well. The main team store has some higher end pieces in cases behind the registers.

FYI the team store is open on game days before the gates open. Also, as previously mentioned Authentics is located in the same store location. I'm at the store now so if you have any questions or request let me know ASAP via email!

Was at the game tonight and nothing really earth shattering as far as game used goes. The Bagwell in the pic is a mid 2000's BP. I could not tell usage but the cost was in the mid $1,000 range. They had last years jerseys for $175 and some scub throwbacks from 2012 for $250 plus range. There were 1-2 1990 jerseys and some 91-93 but they wanted $300 plus. Overall nothing really new.

While it's great that I'm going to have more opportunities on MLB.com Auctions, I hate to see Houston auctioning off jerseys just to meet demand.

Is it typical practice for the 'Stros to authenticate Opening Day jerseys?

Past few seasons they have sold the opening day jerseys. They are not just auctioning jerseys to meet demand, they are taking some of the stuff they would have sold in the Authentics booth and putting it up on auction.

Those who have been there recently, are there any items left from Pettitte's last start from last season? Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess it's good news that I'll have at least some firsthand chance at Houston gamers.
