Texas Rangers Fan Fest

[Jayworld]

Just wondered who has gone and/or plans to go to this on Saturday, January 30th of this year? I live within 45 minutes of the ballpark, and wondered if it would be worth my time; i.e. former players in attendance, prices of jerseys, older stuff available, etc.?

Thanks,
Jay

I'm planning to go. In the past they have had a list of players signing autographs and the times on the Rangers site the day before the fan fest. You have to get there early, like about 6am or so to get in line for people like Hamilton. They usually give out around 200 tickets for autographs and the ones for Hamilton went early last year. In the past they have had a room with a lot of game used bats, jerseys, etc. That is usually the best time and place to get game used stuff.

So is the game stuff what I would term "new" stuff; i.e. 2003 and up? Guess I'm asking all this because I really only collect from the 1970s through the mid-1980s, which includes memorabilia, autographs, etc.

In the past all Rangers Fan Fest and even the auctions during the season, there were 2 different venues for purchasing items. The Foundation (Norm Lyons ran this) or thru the gift shop. The gift shop prices are usually twice what the foundation is.....Norm is no longer with the organization, so it will be real interesting to see what the pricing is.

If anyone can get me a red jersey size 50 of any common player or coach I would appreciate it.

I live in many states away, and won't be able to attend. If anyone is planning on going, would you mind contacting me if you might be willing to purchase items for me?
