Re: 2015 Cardinals Winter Warm Up Summit interest

We have worked out a deal with the Cardinals to get discounted entry to the Hall of Fame and Museum on Saturday, 1/17. People who ask for the "Game Used Forum" discount between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. that day at the entry to the Museum can get in for the child's rate of $8 (vs. $12 regular price). This isn't something we tell the world -- it's just for GUU members and their families/guests. The team doesn't want 200 people showing up at 4 p.m. asking for the discounted rate if they're not with us. So, let's keep this among friends.

I am willing to do a guided tour of the museum at 5 p.m. Saturday, so if people are interested in that vs. roaming around on their own, that's an option. Then at 6 p.m., we can move down to the Ballpark Village common area for drinks/food. The museum closes at 6 p.m. The Museum is located on the second floor of BPV on the west side of the building.

Other things to consider:

A video called "Bird to the Future" will be shown Saturday at noon in the Presentation Clubhouse. It's a fun/fictional look at how the museum got its cool stuff (a spoof on "Back to the Future") and would be fun to view before seeing the museum.

Also, Museum staff will do, I believe, four presentations at the WWU. Brian Finch is doing one each day. His Saturday's presentation (at 1 p.m., I think) is about Stan Musial's time in the Navy. Paula Homan, museum curator, also is doing one at 10 a.m. Saturday (don't know what about specifically, but certainly Museum related). Times for all the presentations will be posted on the Cards' website soon.

I look forward to seeing everyone in 9 days!

Count me in. Guided tour sounds good. Will they have prices on everything like a garage sale? If so im looking for a 1926 cardinal jersey.

Re: 2015 Cardinals Winter Warm Up Summit interest

Can't wait for the Sat meet/greet. Gonna be fun. Also, I've made it a habit that on the Sat of the show I always wear my bright orange U of I pullover. It's very visible so if you see a short guy in orange with a Cards hat on its prob me. Say HI if you want!

This is my first time ever going to an event like this. Being in the military I was not sure I would be off this weekend so it is a last minute decision on my part and did not buy any autograph tickets. I will be mostly standing in line for the free tickets. I am going so show up between 8-815 to get my pass. I am hoping that it is truly an amazing event.

Thanks Jeff Scott for a great museum tour!!! Great information

Re: 2015 Cardinals Winter Warm Up Summit interest

For those of you that missed the guided tour by Jeff.....you really missed out big time! Great inside info on some great pieces. Thanks Jeff! Not many good deals to be had this year with the price jumps at Authentics. Don't miss Pat but sure miss his prices! Couple people found some gems at the Cards Care booth. I know of a 2013 WS Beltran and Freese jerseys plus Beltran postseason alternate for the steep price of $100 each. Tons of old team signed balls at $10 ea. I picked up well used Dave Duncan jerseys from 2007 patched and 2012 patched for $75 and a nice 2014 Miller postseason road for $100. If you weren't there in the first 5 mns you were too late.

Re: 2015 Cardinals Winter Warm Up Summit interest

I had a great time this year. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to the BPV summit, but I still got to meet a lot of you.

Here is my haul. Paid $100 for each of the jerseys.

Carlos Beltran 2013 Postseason Saturday Alternate Jersey I was also able to pick up Beltran's 2013 red postseason cap to go along with it.
Rafael Furcal 2013 World Series Saturday Alternate Jersey
John Axford 2013 World Series road jersey
Shelby Miller 2014 Postseason Saturday Alternate jersey
AJ Pierzynski 2014 Postseason Home and Road jerseys
AJ Pierzynski 2014 Cardinals debut jersey (#35). The cool thing about this jersey is that my wife and I were at his debut game at Wrigley and he tossed us Shelby Miller's inning ending 260th career strikeout.
Jon Jay 2014 game used stirrups signed and inscribed
Red Schoendienst cap with flag patch
Allen Craig 2013 postseason BP cap
Chris Carpenter 2010 Civil Rights Game cap
Matt Holliday 1951 TBTC cap
David Freese 1951 TBTC cap
Mark McGwire 2011 Stars and Stripes cap
Mark McGwire 2000 Spring Training cap (photomatched). Got this for $15 in the team store. Anyone know why he would have inscribed "47" on the front of the cap? I also saw two other caps in the store from his playing days; a road blue and a BP.

The two game used pieces I got signed this year were Matt Carpenter's debut jersey and Trevor Rosenthal's road 2012 postseason helmet.

Re: 2015 Cardinals Winter Warm Up Summit interest

Had a great time last weekend at my first WWU. Spent some time with Seanbaseball and Onlyalbert at dinner at BPV as well talking GU. Picked up a hammered, heavy tar, Carpenter bat that I've photomatched a few times to several different games including to an RBI single driving in Taveras who picks up the bat with him back to the dugout.

Also finally was able to find a 1990 jersey with the elusive AAB patch to add to my retired numbers collection. Like many of the other posters I also picked up some $100 jerseys at the CC Store.

Took the stadium tour on Sunday with the locker room visit as well which was awesome. My wife and I had many jokes near the bullpen phone which typically consisted of "Nooo! Put the phone down Matheny!"

Also big thanks to Jeff for the guided tour of the museum. Some amazing items, highly recommend everyone taking a walk through. Very clean, logical design as well.

Re: 2015 Cardinals Winter Warm Up Summit interest

Maybe 47 was the number of a teammate or coach who passed away? What number was Daryl Kile?
