Colorado Rockies Game Used at Coors Field - 2013 Season

[xpress34]

Re: Colorado Rockies Game Used at Coors Field - 2013 Season

This is a General Statement for all who are looking for Rockies items this year.

As I stated earlier I will not and cannot guarantee that I will look for any specific item due to many factors:

• Items I got stuck with last year
• I am going to fewer games this year
• GU Booth is NOT my 1st priority at games
• I cannot ‘front’ anyone for an item – if you want me to contact you if I see something you are looking for, I need a PHONE #, not an eMail address. I will try to call so you can give your CC # to the Game Used booth. If I can’t reach you, I will not be able to just hang around waiting for your call

I am posting this because I've gotten a lot of PMs - again with JUST eMail addresses, some that don't accept PMs back the other way, etc.

If you are looking for Rockies items, refer to my statements above and contact me HERE, NOT in PMs.

Please understand that I will help if and when I can, but it is NOT my main reason for going to games.

All the best –

Smitty

Smutty you are going above and beyond IMO. Anyone that would burn you should be called out and flogged!

I think your terms are extremely reasonable. Forum members who had asked you to acquire GU Rookies items and then did not pay are way out of line. You do not have to help any of our fellow forum members out and by doing so you make the forum a better place.

Nice to see you helping out other collectors, and I agree with your terms. I used to do the same thing for Clemson items and I would sometimes get burned on an item. In the long run I am glad it happened on some items as they became part of my collection, but others it just sucked trying to move them. Good luck to you this season.

Clemson -

Thanks for the vote of confidence/solidarity.

A few guys were awesome to do stuff for, but others acted more like they were doing me a favor letting me be a gopher for them. That and a few non pays is what soured me on doing it again.

People need to understand - just like getting autographs - it isn't a guaranteed things and there is a LOT of time and effort put into it.

Good luck to you as well this season!

All -

Based on the fact that I'm not sure how many games I will attend this season (I am NOT a Season Ticket Holder) and the fact that a few individuals last year kind of soured me on using my time and resources only to be stuck with items (I have since moved them), I am currently unable to commit to looking for any specific items for anyone at Rockies games this season.

For the record - and since they are the ones I get the most requests to look for, Helton, Cargo and Tulo are almost always already sold before I get to the booth and if they aren't, their items range as follows:

Helton:

• Jersey - $750.00 +
• Bat - $400.00 +
• Hat - $150.00 +
• Batting Helmet - $200.00 +

Tulo:

• Jersey - $600.00 +
• Bat - $300.00 +
• Hat - $100.00 +
• Batting Helmet - $150.00 +

Cargo:

• Jersey - $600.00 +
• Bat - $300.00 +
• Hat - $100.00 +
• Batting Helmet - $150.00 +

I will be at every Sunday Home Game this year, but I will not get to the GU Stand (it is a 'free standing' kiosk, so there is NO Phone to it) until after the game is under way as my Sundays are Autograph days that I spend working on obtaining signatures for my collection.

IF anyone writes me (and I already have at least 5 PM requests for Tulo stuff) asking me to check for stuff for them, if you don't send a phone number along with an eMail address, don't expect to hear back from me.

IF I have time when I am at a game, and IF they have an item you are looking for, I will call you, put you on the phone with the GU booth so you can give them your Credit Card number to make the purchase. If you don't answer, I will leave a message and call the next person on my list for that player. First one to answer that has payment, gets the item.

Then, you need to send me a mailing address and you will need to send me payment to cover the shipping and handling and whatever fee we agree to for my time.

If you don't like the above, then please do not write asking me for me to 'cover it for you'. That's what soured me on this from last year.

Also, out of respect for Aaron, please do not ask me for his Cell Phone, eMail, etc. He has asked me not to publish that info and considering I have known him for close to 20 years, please do not expect me to change my stance on this.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them here so I can share my answers with everyone who may follow this thread.

All the best -

Smitty
