Re: Oakland A's Fanfest

OK, I see what you mean. That may be it. I can't msg the seller because i'm out of US

You say "only marking it up 2.5 times" you mean thats good? Is it practice to triple the price?

Re: Oakland A's Fanfest

Would love to see pics & sizing on the Balfour if you have a bucket?

Also, does anyone know what the Balfour Home White jersey was selling for? Would like to know what kind of markup this seller is putting on them:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/GRANT-BALFOUR-AUTHENTIC-GAME-WORN-OAKLAND-As-JERSEY-w-COA-/230738887610?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b91c03ba#ht_500wt_1156

btw - I notice that the Balfour above doesn't have a holo (or seller doesn't state it does) would that be odd?

Thanks,
Mark.

I think I see the MLB holo on the Ebay jersey. The A's put the holo on the bottom left hand side of the tag. If the ebay seller got it at fanfest he is only marking it up 2.5 times

Re: Oakland A's Fanfest

As others have already said, the A's memorabilia sale was a disappointment this year in terms of both player selection and quantity. Luckily I got in early enough and was able to pick-up the following jerseys:

Grant Balfour - Alt Green Cool Base MLB Authenticated

I noticed that a lot of the the A's jerseys with MLB holograms are listed in the MLB Authenticated database as "Team Issued" even though some of them show a lot of wear.

Re: Oakland A's Fanfest

Here is the items I got at Fanfest. The jerseys are all MLB as team issued on Sept 30 2011. The Taylor(set 1) and la Roche(set 2) look almost new. The Powell(set 2) has been washed enough that the set tag is hard to read. The Gold pants are from 2010 if I am reading the tag right they were worn by #39 Brad Kilby. The white was worn by #59 G. Moscosco in 2011. The set cushion, from the locker room? was an impules buy. the next autograph line I went to had Kurt Suzuki singing so I got him to sign it.

Grant Balfour - Alt Green Cool Base MLB Authenticated
Fautino De Los Santos - Alt Green Cool Base MLB Authenticated

I also picked up the following hats as there were plenty from the mid-90's to present:

Eric Chavez - Game used road cap x 2
Eric Chavez - Game used BP cap
Mark Mulder - Game used and autographed road cap x 2
Kurt Suzuki - Game used road cap
Unidentified # 49 cold weather road cap with ear flaps - Brett Anderson?

Let me know if you decide to sell the Suzuki cap.

Re: Oakland A's Fanfest

It appears that the A's home white jerseys are listed in the MLB Authentication database as "Game Used" while the road grey, alt green and alt gold jerseys are in the database as "Team Issued".

Re: Oakland A's Fanfest

rdeversole - From what I saw, there were at least 4 Willingham jerseys available. I'll keep you in mind if I deceide to sell mine. I'll also check with two of the others who purchased Willingham jerseys.

I noticed that a lot of the the A's jerseys with MLB holograms are listed in the MLB Authenticated database as "Team Issued" even though some of them show a lot of wear.

Re: Oakland A's Fanfest

Did anyone pick up an extra gold jersey they're looking to move at a reasonable price? I'm not picky on the player (although, I'd be interested in Scott Sizemore over anyone else), as long as the price is right. Let me know!

Re: Oakland A's Fanfest

If anybody picked up anything from Michael Taylor please email me at jahapp43@gmail.com

Thwnks!

Re: Oakland A's Fanfest

Like everyone is saying not a whole lot available. I got there 2 hours before it opened. But with the GU stuff on the other side of the arena than the entrance. I am not as fast as I used to be and lost the race to some of the younger or more agressive people. No bats or helmets. No Weeks or Suzuki. No Cahill, Geo or Bailey. Only a one page list down from the 3-4 page list of the past. Pickep 3 MLB auth jerseys. #23 Taylor was the best. #21 LaRoche and #11 Powell. At $40 for the last 2 at least I will not feel bad about wearing them if I want to. Also picked up a couple of pair of Turn Back the Clock uniform pants, at $10 a pair, a gold '73 from the 2010 game and a white '81 from 2011 game, will have to check to see who wore them.

Re: Oakland A's Fanfest

Just my 2 cents, but maybe the "30" & "Rock" are meant as a tribute to Raines by the player who wore #3..similar to how other players have honored teammates in the past...anyone see any Jay Payton A's items? Thanks, Jay

Re: Oakland A's Fanfest

With #30 and Rock written on the outside of the cap maybe it was used by Tim Raines during the 1999 season?

Wow! It could have been! But I always thought the Diamond Collection changed to Authentic Collection in 1999, and it still doesn't explain the 3 on the underside. It could be either I suppose. I'm not complaining either way!
