Re: 2015 Cardinals Winter Warm Up Summit interest

Looks like maybe we are at about 10 so far, and of course spouses/kids/friends are invited too. So when we get a bit closer we will have to get a final number for each member. Another idea that came to me if we can't get a separate room at the Hyatt I think a great idea would be to get a reservation somewhere in Ball Park Village (BPV). Maybe we could incorporate a tour of the Cards HOF with dinner/drinks.

I've already put a bug in the ear of those who might be able to set us up. Will keep you posted.

Re: 2015 Cardinals Winter Warm Up Summit interest

Do local (or even non-local in some cases), collectors bring anything to sell or trade generally?

Re: 2015 Cardinals Winter Warm Up Summit interest

I have rarely seen any game used items. Mostly just autograph memoribilia and photos.

Re: 2015 Cardinals Winter Warm Up Summit interest

If you could get enough Cardinal collectors together it might be worth it to get a booth if enough people are trying to move some game used items for other purchases.

Even if informally I mean, just over dinner or whatever.

UPDATE: looks like we are at about 12 people or so that have confirmed. All are welcome including family/kids/friends. I think we have decided to hold this summit at Ball Park Village (BPV) in the common area. There is ample room and tables, and we can order dinner/drinks from here and each pay our own ticket without the need to rent a space at additional cost. We are also working on a possible discounted/guided tour of the Cardinals HOF/Museum. Will post more here when plans are finalized. I think the best time to meet at BPV would be Saturday Jan 17th at around 6pm. This time is flexible and will give us time to socialize. If we can get a rough head count maybe someone at BPV can set aside an area for us. No promises there though. If you are planning on joining us but have not posted here please do so or repost if friends/family will attend.

Re: 2015 Cardinals Winter Warm Up Summit interest

Does anyone know if Chris Carpenter will be at this again this year?

I have a 2011 WS Piece that I need Carp to sign.

Is there anyone that might be willing to get this done for me? Obviously I will pay for the auto ticket, shipping both ways and whatever fee or favor you might need for doing this.

It is an original art piece done by a local Denver artist. I have already had all of the Rangers that are on it to sign it - Michael Young, Josh Hamilton, Nelson Cruz and Ian Kinsler along with Ron Washington. I have had 3 of the 4 Cardinals represented on it to sign it - Albert Pujols, Matt Holliday and Yadier Molina as well as Tony LaRussa.

Carp is the last guy I need so I can get it framed!

Please feel free to email me - xpress34@ comcast .net

I tried to do this last year, but started looking for a 'surogate' grapher too late...

Thanks!

Just let me know! Last year, I thought about it too late and logistics just weren't good - trying to be ahead of it this year!
