Well, I did have fun at Fanfest this year, although the GU pickings were less than spectacular.
Many, many racks of jerseys, $100-200 dollars per, but with no differentiation between -worn and -issued; a big table covered with game-issued helmets, and only one or two with a number attached. They did have a ton of nice locker plates (from 2011) for only five bucks apiece, so I grabbed quite a few of those.
Also picked up a big old heavy banner about 9 feet high and 3 feet across, like they hang up at the top of the light poles around the ballpark; this one is of Josh Collmenter; heaven only knows where I will ever find a place to display it.
I'm not a big GU ball collector, but they had a few sitting out for $25 each, and one was identified by its MLB holo sticker as having been hit for single by Ryan Braun against Jeremy Hellickson, at Chase Field on 7/26/15. Not a Braun fan, myself, but I know a lot of people are borderline fanatical about the guy, so I figured I'd do something I VERY seldom do and actually buy a small something for "investment" purposes.
