Anybody go to Tigerfest?
Just wondering if anybody went to Tigerfest.
Just curious what was there and what the prices were.
Thanks

Re: Anybody go to Tigerfest?
I was out of town...but I know it was COLD and only in the teens for anyone who went. I didn't think they were having much of a discount on the game used stuff (some bases, warm ups, and jackets from what I heard). I'd be interested in seeing if anyone went.

I went, it was cold!!! The authentics had polanco,guillen,inge & pudge bats for 100...unauthenticated. Bases for 100....bp tops & coats for 80...lineups for 75...some game used pants. the foundation had old bats, old hats.....some TBTC pants that I guess went quick..a lot of the usual items.

Re: Anybody go to Tigerfest?
I went and can just echo what was said by the last poster. No deals that really knocked your socks off.
I did get a 2006 ALCS celebration used champagne bottle for $10, got it signed by Jim Leyland. My buddies were jealous after I got it signed and wanted to go back to that tent. By the time we went back, they were sold out of them (I was thinking about getting another one myself at that price).
They each picked up game used caps - they were all in a rubbermade bin - $10 each. They were no authenticated and mainly seemed to be from ST invitees etc. I think one was a Mike Rabelo road hat from 2006. The other was a Roman Colon road BP hat from 2006. They will probably just end up wearing them...

Re: Anybody go to Tigerfest?
I'm not into wearing another man's hat...but I will say that's the way to go. Breaking in a new NE hat is a pain in the arse. Still doesn't sounds like many good deals the major collectibles. (I did pick up a Willis road jersey from Marc last week since I knew I wasn't going to the fest).

Re: Anybody go to Tigerfest?
It just occured to me, what of one of those players had lice when they wore the hat and then someone (the buyer) wears it later??

I think lice died after a certain time.
