Re: Sowfest. Who went and what did you get?

Again, the White Sox garage sale crew allowed early access to a chosen favorite...this time it was a guy who has been affiliated in one manner or another since he was the team's batboy in 1983. He grouped a whole handful of items he wanted on one of the racks, then, as soon as the sale was opened to the non-privileged, grabbed the group and went to the register, making sure no "regular folks" got a chance at them.

Although overall, I feel Soxfest is far superior in most ways to the Cubs Convention, the team's practice of allowing early access to team employees, preferred dealers and people with press credentials in wearing a little thin.

Same thing happened at the Steiner booth at the Cubs Convention. My buddy and I were the first two people through the door when they opened and went straight there and when I got there, there were already 2-3 piles of items that had been set aside and I was told to not touch them and they were already sold.

I picked up another Pierzynski bat but it had something written on it, as well as an autographed bottle of Buehrle's Wine for $30. Didnt look at the jerseys. No Jenks or Garcia gu bat.

Had Buerhle sign my bottle of wine I had bought when they first came out as well as another Gold Glove ball. Had Pierzynski sign my pink mother's day bat as well as my catchers helmet.

Baseballs signed by Danks, Sale, Morrel and Alexei. Had Alexei inscribed with 2010 Silver Slugger.

Not that unusual, Edgar...the White Sox have overpriced hype-heavy rookies in the past. Remember last year? Gordon Beckham gamers were going from $750-$1000 each. Today you'd be lucky to get more than 250 for one.

Dave Miedema

Yeah That's true Dave

That's true did you see the Chris Sale jersey? $750

None of my items are for sale.

Re: Sowfest. Who went and what did you get?

If anyone REALLY needs something from a Sox player, let me know. I know someone on the staff. I used to train with him last year during the off-season. I have never got an item from him before but I am sure at some point I could try my best and ask him. He'd probably charge me, though, but you never know. Unless I go up to Chicago to see him and possibly get to meet some players for myself.

This is a long-shot, but if someone really needs a piece for a collection, let me know. I'll do my best.

Re: Sowfest. Who went and what did you get?

I bought the Ramirez hat along with Jones, Rios and Quentin bats and a Jenks jersey.

I, too, am sick of seeing the Sox let people in the Garage Sale early in full view of the paying customers who wait hours in line to get in.

Hi,
Is the Quentin bat by any chance available? Please let me know

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Sowfest. Who went and what did you get?

Is the Jenks jersey available?

Thank you,

No. I bought it to add to my 2005 White Sox collection.

I haven't been there in years, but I remember seeing that also. They could at least keep that practice hidden from the people waiting in line for hours.

Re: Sowfest. Who went and what did you get?

Did not make it this year. How was it? What did you pick up? Anyone happen to see if there was a Jenks or Garcia Bat?

I got a good look at the wood when they opened the doors and did not see a Jenks or Garcia bat. Could be wrong, but I did scour over them multiple times over the weekend.

Re: Sowfest. Who went and what did you get?

How much were they charging for the different Manny jerseys?

Re: Sowfest. Who went and what did you get?

The only reason more of the good stuff wasn't taken was because the prices were so high that the scammers knew they couldn't turn a profit.

That's true did you see the Chris Sale jersey? $750
