Tons of jerseys at the Cardinals Authentics store

[DonTheLegend]

my wife and i went to the Cardinals opening day (#2) on Tuesday and strolled through the team Authentics store to see what they had.

there were half a dozen racks (or so) full of GU jerseys.

spring training, first 2007 series with the gold piping, 2006 World Series jerseys and some 2007 regular season ones as well.

notable ones i happen to remember were a nice Encarnacion (opening series i believe) that was pretty dirty, Schumaker home (not sure if was a spring or regular season), Duncan , Eckstein and a bunch that i cant think of off hand. it was packed and my wife was rushing me.

most prices were in the $250 - $300 range. i think the Encarnacion was $450.

they also had the normal GU balls and a couple of GU cleats (Rolen and a couple of others. too crowded in that area)

just thought i'd give everyone a heads up.

seemed like nice jeresy's and most did show decent wear.

i wish i wouldve picked one up now that i think about it.

I was there on opening day and missed out on some great jerseys because of traffic. There were three Jim Edmonds game used jersey sold about 30 minutes before I got there. Donnie is right though, alot of great stuff. A couple Carpenter and Opening day 2007 and World Series jerseys were there to be had at a great price.

Is this the team store at the west side of the stadium, or an altogether different store? Where is it located and is it open only during games?

Thanks

Hey Dave. I wasnt trying to be funny. I was actually pretty mad about opening day. It was my first time to go to opening day and it was he11! I sat in traffic for about 2 hours after an hour and a half drive. Then I walk in to the store to find out someone has bought the jerseys I wanted. After that I get drenched while walking the 2 miles back to my car because the game I was called off. Needless to say I did go back on Tuesday. I should have bought a few jerseys but I was too mad at that time to buy a jersey. I would have paid quite a bit for an umbrella

Welcome to the obsessive Cardinals world Billy.

People who don't collect stuff go to the store, overspend...and then the item is on eBay in a month because they have no idea what they will do with it.

Be patient...your day will come.

The Authentics store is on the east side, in right-center field if you're inside. It's open only during games. The Team Store is in the northwest corner; it's open year-round and doesn't have game-used items, just regular souvenirs.
