Got a few Manny Machado items signed today. Always such a good dude. Dylan Bundy....Kid was walking around and acting like he was a 5 time Cy Young Award Winner. Not impressed at all with him.
Autographed today @ O's Fan Fest 1/19/13
2011 Frederick Keys G/U Manny Machado Road Grey jersey. Team LOA
I didn't get to go this year because of work but my buddies went up and I think one got a spring training orange jersey of Stu Pomeranz fairly cheap, not sure what the other friend got.
Scott, strange that Dylan was acting that way. I've talked to him a handful of times and he's always been great to talk to, joking around with us and very humble. He's pretty quiet at first but he warmed up to us pretty quick.
Always looking for anything John Flaherty, Drew Storen and Marcell Ozuna game used. jaeger_danny@yahoo.com
Did not attend this year. How was the game used? Also, how was the free area with regards to past promotions? Did they give away any statues? How was the mood with Earl Weaver's passing? I did not get any autograph stations and decided not to make the 3 hour drive.

Game Used was complete garbage. A total waste of time, a number of people I spoke with who got in as the doors opened and were anywhere from 1st - 10th in the door of the game used room and they all said the same thing. No playoff anything, no batting helmets, virtually all the game worn jersey's were from ST, minor league players or bench players and the game used bats might as well have been firewood.
There were zero marquee players of any sort available.
Very, very disappointing for those who stood in line for literally 5 hours in the freezing morning cold for this pitiful display. Prices were even bumped up again this year to $250.00 per jersey.
I was 12th in line and stood in the cold weather for over 3 hours with a few other forum members and when we got up in the room there was already like 30 people in the room going through items.We were pissed off about that as in years past they did not let that happen til the doors opened.There was not a great selection but did end up getting a few good things I thought but prices were too high for non star player jerseys.It was nice hanging and seeing some members again like always.I did end up getting.
2 banners that had the Orioles 20th Anniversary on them.These were like gold in that room and people were trying to get ours.1 is available for sale if any member has interest.Just email me and we can talk more about the banner.
Mark Reynolds game used road grey jersey
Jonathan Scoop game used home white jersey
Anyone else get anything from fanfest that can post pickups?
I was in line with Geoff for three hours as well. Ended up getting a few items:
2012 Game Used Mark Reynolds Game Used Road Jersey
2012 Game Used Mark Reynolds Uncracked Old Hickory Bat
2012 Game Used Nolan Reimold Cracked Marucci Bat
1 2012 4ft Camden Yards 20th Anniversary Street Banner
3 2012 8ft Camden Yards 20th Anniversary Street Banners
I really wanted Mark Reynolds items and the street banners so all and all I was happy. As others have expressed, however, I was disappointed that people were let in early and the increased prices for lower tier players. Hopefully it will be better next year or my days waiting for hours in the freezing cold might be numbered.
I got in almost first to the memorabilia room and managed to get a Reynolds BP jersey and a Tillman BP. I saw one of the workers holding a Bundy ST jersey and I asked him about it. He said he was going to buy it but showed me where an orange #82 Bundy was and I bought it for $250. The BP jerseys were $50 each but there were no Wieters, Jones, Machado, or Markakis. I did get a Wieters bat for $150 and there were several of his bats there.
Here are some pics of the Bundy jersey. I really want to keep it right now but I was trying to find a pic where he wore this style/color and I can't. Does anyone know if the O's wore this style/color in spring training?
