At today's Yankees vs. Blue Jays game, the Jays held their annual garage sale, where the team sells autograph and game-used memoribilia at low prices. This year, I was fairly disappointed.....here's why:
1. The garage sale opened when the gates opened. I got there 10 minutes after the gates opened, and by the time I got there, virtually all of the game-used equipment was gone. Most game-used equipment was either in the $50 or $75 range ($75 was the most expensive), and they had a variety of game-used balls for $20-$25. Apparently, they had 3 Frank Thomas game-worn jerseys and 2 of his game-used bats, each for $75. Needless to say, those went literally in a few minutes
.
2. There was no rhyme or reason to how people could approach the tables where items were being sold. No lineups or anything and people were literally pushing to find good deals. It was not a fun scenario.
3. They didn't have very much game-used equipment this year. One of the workers told me that they had a total of only 10 game-used bats and about 15 game-used jerseys. Boo.
After hitting up the garage sale, me and my buddy heard that there was 50% off most game-used memoribilia in the team store. Problem: The store only had about 15 game-used jerseys for sale. All other game-worns were not available for sale at all. Boo.
Needless to say, I was disappointed with the way that the Jays held their "fan appreciation day". It would have been nice to see some more game-used representation there.
