Anyone going this year. This will be my 17th in a row this year. I have been every year since 98'. It would be cool to see some sox collectors from here.

I plan to be helping out at a booth and looking to buy 1 or 2 heaper GU Sox items. Just look for the tall, bearded guy with the anti-Obama T-shirt.

I'm sure like many. I would like to go just to attend Friday Nights garage sale. Looking to pick up a jersey or two depending on price. Any one who has an extra ticket and needs an extra set of hands to snag something up let me know. I'll glady pay for my ticket and help out with what ever your looking for. Good Luck and Hope you fans Have a blast!
I will be there all weekend and plan on picking up a few pieces at the garage sale. I'm hoping they have the 83' jerseys since they weren't at the clubhouse sale. Also looking forward to getting my Thomas and Thome gamers signed.
I'll be there all weekend. I'm sure I'll pick up some items, but at this point I'm not sure how much new stuff I need after decades of Soxfests and Garage Sales. It'll be interesting to see how Thome signs your bat. He personalized mine when he signed it six or seven years ago.
does the garage sale run ONLY on friday? or is it like the cubs convention and run friday and saturday ONLY. or does it happen to run all 3 days?
any help would be much appreciated!
All 3 days.
anyone have ideas on prices of things at the GU garage sale? (generally)
After dunn had that terrible first year his bats were $125. Last year they were $200 so I would look for the same or maybe $150-$175. Viciedo and Alexei were $50. Konerko will be $300 +. Beckham $50-$75. The steal will prob be thorton, peavy, and everyone else traded or not comming back. I'm sure an erik johnson jersey will run around $125-$175 which I'm hoping to get one. After sales first year his were $175 and I'm kicking myself for not getting one back then. Seems like the team has realized there bad and dropped some prices accordingly. At the clubhouse sale I got liriano for $25 and picked up a Freddy Garcia for $50. I'm hoping they still have a bunch for $25.
Bump anyone pick anything up
I'm interested to see what hits ebay?
Was listening to the score earlier and was pretty excited to hear about this years team. SoxFest...means were close! :D
Lol..Yup!
My guess is Garcia will be the highest priced and sought after item??
Anyone get a Dan Johnson locker nameplate?
A member here said there were no avisail items. Avisail had cleats and gloves made available to a reseller, but no bats or jerseys. Hesaid the sox kept em but they have yet to make them available. I guess the sox are still holding on to them to sell some time down the road?
One attendee came over by our booth and showed us a Garcia jersey he bought early Friday for $300. He did indicate, however, that the quantity of Garcia items was very limited.

Wow! 300 not bad at all for avisail jersey. With all the hype surrounding him. Definitely thought more. Chris sale went from 300 to 1k within a year. That was nuts!
Better pick ups next year when they win the WS. Ha!:D :eek: :cool:
Also, if abreu becomes the real deal, which I think he will, his prices will be ridiculous lol
Garage sale bats were a joke this year. Viciedo was $50 last year and he had a worse season and there $150. $75 for a phegley, no thanks. Matt Thornton signed ball $75, rios $150. HA!
Best deal was Jackie Robinson game jerseys. I got sale for $100
Lol.. I hear you Dave. Some of these gamers are like buying a new car. Automatic loss as soon as you purchase and may never increase in value. I guess it all depends on how you want to roll.
Were they still asking about 1k for Konerkos??
My bad, I meant Melissa not Dave. Lol.. sorry
Sounds about right. I think they went down at one point I think they were 11 maybe1200?? Regardless Congrats on those who went and picked up what they were looking for.
Konerko 83' jersey was $1500 as well as his regular. Sale was $1,000. I pulled 9 autos Friday 7 autos Saturday. Frank 45 min late so I missed beckham. Not a very large crowd probably the lowest since it's been at the Palmer house. I did get a Dunn helmet today with tons of use.
Frank refused to inscribe "HOF '14" which pissed some people off. Rumor going around was that he has an exclusive contract to sign that for a company - do not know if that is accurate.
Also, he had a family emergency which was blamed for the delay. It sounded like a serious matter so people were fortunate he showed.
anyone see any Ehren Wassermann stuff? thanks...
Frank Thomas is doing a Mab-celebrity show today in New Jersey at the Meadowlands. The promoter is charging $50 for HOF 14. If you go to the website www.mab-celebrity.com it says he is exclusive to them.
FYI,
Chris
Thanks for all the info everybody. Much Appreciated! kind of bogus The Big Hurt refused to sign HOF 14 on your items. I guess we cant take it personal, just business. A frustrating one! I know I would of been a little discouraged myself. I'm sure it was even more frustrating with the delays and all. Sux!
He didn't do HOF but he did at least do the MVP inscriptions.
Still can't believe this. Not sure which is worse, rios at $150 or peavy's $200.
Yes I posted the Dunn helmet on the white sox GU section. Dunn bats were high. Friday they were $300 then dropped to $250 sat/sun. Jerseys were $500. They will have a ton of his stuff cheaper and available of him when/if he's gone next year. I feel I overpaid off the helmet @ $200 but I wanted one and it had ton of use. He made a comment about striking out because of the large mark on top from throwing it. Super cool guy and he signed my photo matched WBC bat and inscribed it as well.
Really nobody. They had peavy signed snap back hats for $75. There really wasn't anything special with the hats unless they were picked through the first hour.
