Re: 2009 cardinals winter warm up

Hey Guys -

I will not be there this year...wife has a baby due any day, so I'm on standby. I was not impressed by the auction offerings...the only bummer is that I will miss seeing a few of you.

Dave,
congrats man...

Re: 2009 cardinals winter warm up

Congrats, Dave! Sorry I'll miss you.

The autograph lineup and prices were released yesterday and are available on the team's Web site. Among the things that surprised me:

• Albert is still $175, in spite of winning his second MVP. I thought for sure he'd be $200 this year.
• Molina is $100. I know Yadi is popular, and I think the world of him, but $100 is ridiculous -- especially when Jack Clark is $10.
• Colby Rasmus (never played above AAA) is the same price as LaRussa (lock HOF manager) -- $30.
• 2008 1st round pick and highly touted 3rd baseman Brett Wallace is free. They could have charged $5 and easily made $2K or more for the charity. Missed opportunity, but good for the fans willing to endure his line.

I won't be setting up this year, but I plan to attend all three days. Hope to see you there!

$175 for an autograph at a fanfest? Jeeze at the Phillies Phestival you pay $10 for admission and you get 5 autograph tickets 4 random tables with 2 at a table and then 1 ticket you can exchange for any table so basically you can get 8 autos or more some tables have 3 and then get howard, utley or rollins if they dont have a photobooth all for $10

Unlike most fan fests, the Cardinals' Winter Warm Up is a fund-raiser for charity. People know going in that all money raised will be invested back into community/youth programs. For the most part, autographs can be obtained at prices below market value (i.e., if these guys appeared at your local card show). There also are almost 50 free signers (mostly prospects and former players). I rarely hear complaints about autograph prices at the Warm Up. In fact, if this wasn't a charity event, I think the fans around here would still attend and pay the same prices.

Kevin, I might be able to use your help on Saturday with Kennedy. I also need a bat signed and I have three other signatures to get during Kennedy's period.

Also, if you or anyone else can help, I need a couple "line buddies" Monday at 9 a.m. I have three Cal Eldred bats I need signed, but the free autographs are limited to one per person. Since he's the first signer that morning, we should be able to get in and out fairly quickly (and then jump straight into the Glaus line). Please let me know if you can help. Thanks.

Redsfest is all for charity as well and they don't charge for any autographs

Right but Phillies Phestival is also for charity, the money goes to ALS.
