Re: Chicago White Sox Soxfest
I had the pleasure of meeting Sox pitcher Erik Johnson today. He was on campus taking care of some business. Nice young man. Hopefully he makes the starting rotation. I'll be rooting for him!

Re: Chicago White Sox Soxfest
I would prefer that, specially if they had the GU sale in a separate area where you could go in without buying a Soxfest ticket. Even better for me would be if they did what the Tigers does and sell most of their items on an online auction. Or at least like the Braves or Royals, although I understand that the Royals will be moving to an online platform this year.

Would be Nice! Stole the idea from the Blackhawks convention. They have a live auction shortly after the doors open then a display table with tons of used equipment and jerseys placed for bid that goes live around 6pm.

Re: Chicago White Sox Soxfest
I was dropping some things off at a hotel in the western burbs a few years ago for a charity event, when I saw some guys bringing in a ton of White Sox memorabilia into a separate room. I looked into the room and Thome was signing all of the memorabilia. I wasn't collecting at that time, but a friend of mine is a huge Sox fan. I walked into the room and asked one of the guys if I could get something signed for my friend. He said it was up to Jim. I explained that I was a major Cubs fan, but that my friend was a huge Sox fan. Jim was more than happy to sign a couple of items for him. It's a shame that your experience wasn't as positive. Sorry to hear that.

Re: Chicago White Sox Soxfest
I was at the Cubs Convention a couple of weekends ago and they have a section for game used items, many of which are pretty reasonably priced with a good selection, plus they had live auctions on Friday and Saturday. The live auctions were very fun and they had a lot of quality uniforms there like Castro, Lake, Rizzo, Samardzija, etc. it's a shame that there wasn't the same selection at Sox Fest.

Re: Chicago White Sox Soxfest
Personally I have gotten thomes sig about a dozen times and always got a clean sig and 8 of them came with the #. This was my first bad signiture from him so I can't be to ticked. I think it just rubs me the wrong way when they pick and choose. It was only a BP bat so I will wait and pay for his sig to get on my black gamer.

Re: Chicago White Sox Soxfest
It sucks when 1 or 2 people buy tons of items, but I guess that's just how it works unfortunately. If you have the money to do so, then I guess there isn't too much you can do about it, even tho you know they are just buying to make profit.
If it was someone that spent $2,500 worth of goodies for their personal collection, then thats a different story.
