STL Cardinals Winter Warm Up

Re: STL Cardinals Winter Warm Up

And again, I was faced with the dilemma of buying an "issued" bat of a player I need in my collection - rather than overpaying for a used model.
I bought the Chris Duncan bat from a dealer for $150 and the Cards were selling the used bat for $400.

Donnie - I did see your Lankford jersey...what a find.

I am not naming any names here, but did anyone else see the dealer with a case full of fake stuff? I thought that was kind of bold considering he was selling a team signed Cardinals item in which every autograph was a forgery. I just proves that even in a well-controlled environment, the "expert" dealers are willing to risk reputation and prosecution for the almighty ducket.

Dave , the Duncan is still a very nice bat. and yes, $400 for the GU version was obscene.

i ended up looking at the "fake" crap you told me about. its too bad that it goes on at an event like this (or even at all). i just hope some poor fan didnt buy anything from those guys. chances are, though, a few folks did.... DOLLA DOLLA BILL YALL!!

Dave, i woke up this morning think that i was only dreaming about the Lankfor 04 jersey. im stoked that its not a dream.

Anybody see or pick up any Carmen Cali stuff?

i did see a couple of Cali jerseys at the team store. i'd be willing to bet my next pay check that they are still there.

i know there was a home, for sure, and possibly a road.

here are a few pics of my pick ups from the weekend.

the caps are from the team store and the bat, again, came from Jeff.

you shouldve made the trip up. at then, you wouldnt be kicking yourself in the ass right now.

this year was much better than last year, but still not as good as it can be.

Re: STL Cardinals Winter Warm Up

Back from the WWU tonight. Had a pretty good weekend. I picked up a batting cage John Rodriguez bat and a 2007 road Eckstein game worn jersey. Got several autographs. The crowd was down some from last year I thought.

This year's winter warm up was good to me. 194 autographs.

Re: STL Cardinals Winter Warm Up

My Cards 1992 road helmet was a good pick up...Mark Whiten is coming into town in a couple of weeks and I am going to have him sign and inscribe it. Mark might not be classified as a great Cardinal - but he certainly peaked when he got here...

He had the best throwing arm in the majors at the time, and I saw it first hand on numerous occasions. I was not sure what I was going to do with the helmets - but now I think I will start having some of may favorite 1 year wonders put thier sigs on it....nxt up - Gregg Jeffries, then Mark Grudzilaniek.

Dave

PS- Donny - the signing is Saturday at 2pm - I'll drive.
