I am trying to get a 1997 World Series baseball signed by Kevin Seitzer and he is signing at the fanfest. If someone could get the ball signed for me, I would be happy to compensate them. If you are going, drop me an email. Thanks!
Anybody going to the Royals Fanfest?

Re: Anybody going to the Royals Fanfest?
I'll be going friday night. I have some equipment to get signed by Hosmer and Moustakas so if he isnt scheduled at the same time I might be able to do it. My email is favrenvikes09@yahoo.com
Anyone else plan on attending? I've never gone before and my buddy and I are making the road trip down to get our prospect game used stuff signed by Hos and Moose, and hopefully Wil Myers...if he decides to show up. -
Re: Anybody going to the Royals Fanfest?
I'm not going to be able to help you with getting Seitzer at the FanFest. If you are unable to get your Seitzer ball signed at FanFest, let me know and I may be able to help you out in the next month or two. Seitzer lives in KC and I may be able to get ahold of him for you.
FYI, the autograph lines are ridiculously long. And they do not announce who will be at the stage/table in advance, basically they announce it as the players are walking up. Sometimes you get in line for one group of guys and they cut off the line before you get up to the table. Then you wind up sitting there waiting for the next group of guys to come to the table.
I've not seen a line that was short enough to walk up and get an auto without waiting less than 30 minutes. Generally if you are not in line before the players who will be at the table are announced, then you stand a good chance of not getting through the line. They are also very strict on the one item per player policy.sigpic

Ok so how does that work with 3 autograph tables? Do they rotate to each one or what? Also I know they auctioned off the fast passes, have people been selling them at the event if they dont want to use them?Comment

Re: Anybody going to the Royals Fanfest?
This is the first year for the fast pass. So, I'm not sure if anyone will be selling them or not. They might if its a hot table, Brett, etc.
They usually have 3-4 autograph stages with a big snake line. Every hour or so they bring a random group of 3-5 players up to the stage then they take a 30 minute break at that stage then bring out another slate of random guys. There is often several stages going with players at the same time.
I personally have never gotten an autograph at FanFest in any of the previous years, because I personally don't want to wait in line for an hour to get a handful of autographs worth $2-5 each.sigpic

Re: Anybody going to the Royals Fanfest?
From my experience, Myers is already VERY unfriendly and thats when he was in Low A ball.
Campwest- Thanks for all the info, its helped somewhat lol. Basically I'll have to keep my eyes peeled and hope I can catch the staff leading them to their signing table to get my stuff done. Thanks.Comment

Hate to keep giving you bad news, but I'm trying to give you reasonable expectations so you don't make a long drive to get horribly disappointed.
The autograph arrangements are really bad for anybody seeking "certain player" autos or multiples of one player. It is designed for kids and people that want to meet any random handful of players. Not for serious collectors looking to get multiple premium items signed. Its free and they want to get as many people through the line as possible without any duplicates.
Some of the low-demand minor league players (guys the common fan doesn't know - not on the BaseballAmerica Top 100 list) will get a side table with a small line, but Hosmer and Moose will be at the big table with the big line. Their demand would be too high for them to get the small side table.sigpic

Re: Anybody going to the Royals Fanfest?
Thanks for the info, I think I got you a little confused though...Didnt mean to have them sign on their way to the table, rather wait and follow them and the ushers to whatever line they sign at, then wait in said line.Comment

Re: Anybody going to the Royals Fanfest?
Let me know if you want to meet up at some point. If you have any Moose or Myers stuff to move, I might be interested.sigpic

Re: Anybody going to the Royals Fanfest?
Anybody know what time Moustakas will be signing on Friday or Saturday? Looking to get my Blue Rocks jersey signed. Moose was the 2009 Blue Rocks Player of the Year.
