Jaimie

Will you and your dad be set up again this year? You guys are among the best dealers at that thing because you actually deal in game used stuff...it seems like most of your colleagues usually just have autographs.

Hope it's a good show

Re: Milwaukee Brewers Fan Fest

Scott,
Yes, I'll be set up there once again this year. I will have a good amount of Brewers game used equipment for sale. If your going stop by and check out my items you never know what I'll have for sale, hope to see you there.

Re: Milwaukee Brewers Fan Fest

Can any of you keep an eye out for Mike Cameron stuff that is within reason? My e-mail is thomaskirk@cinci.rr.com.

tknorm,
I will keep my eyes open for Mike Cameron items. I just received a great looking Mike Cameron M9 L.S. 2008 game used bat today.

Re: Milwaukee Brewers Fan Fest

Jamie-thanks! Nice bat-I had not seen any like that as he mostly used X-bats and rawlings last year. Can I ask where you found it?

Re: Milwaukee Brewers Fan Fest

I bought it from a guy in Milwaukee who is a Brewers collector like myself.

Re: Milwaukee Brewers Fan Fest

I am really wanting a Ryan Braun autograph? How much is he? Can anyone help me out? How much is his game used stuff as well as Prince Fielder?

Thanks,
Dustin

Re: Milwaukee Brewers Fan Fest

Dustin,
I would like to help you by getting a Ryan Braun signature but I'll be at my both when the players are signing. I would think it will be $25.00 for his autograph. His game used items are high prices, his bats are around $600-700.00 each. Fielders bats are a little cheaper but still high priced.

Re: Milwaukee Brewers Fan Fest

I was wondering if any GUU member are planning on going to Brewers Fan fest this coming weekend. If your going make sure to stop by my both and say HI. ALso you never know what GU items I will have for sale. Hope to see some of you there.

Re: Milwaukee Brewers Fan Fest

I was thinking of going to this, but can anyone tell me how good the autograph chances are with 250 being signed by each player? Not really expecting to get Ryan Braun at $25, but also don't want to spend the whole day driving to the place, etc., to come away with Mike Cameron and a Mitch Stetter.

Do people line up hours early, so if I get there near when it opens will it be impossible to get anybody?

Also, is there game-used equipment that is often sold by the team at the fest?

Thanks!

Re: Milwaukee Brewers Fan Fest

gameused fan,
Yes, they do sell game used equipment there. As for autographs people do stand in lines outside for a couple of hours to get a chance at autographs. Your best chance is to get there early. GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks for the info!

Re: Milwaukee Brewers Fan Fest

That just reminded me of one of my most memorable collecting moments. Back in the day, they didn't have specific tickets for players' autographs, you just stood in a long line. When you got to the front of the line, whoever was signing, thats the autograph(s) you got. They would list who was going to be signing and approximately what times during the day. So, as a kid, all I wanted was a Robin Yount autograph. My dad and I make the hour plus drive to Milwaukee and the old MECCA auditorium. We wait around and get in line at the point when we think we will get to the front in time for Yount's autograph. Unfortunately the line moves much slower than we thought, much slower. Lucky for us Yount saw the massive line and stayed longer than he was scheduled to by about an hour. We stood in line for probably three hours, only to have Yount leave when we were two people away in line. I think I got Franklin Stubbs' autograph instead. Still haunts me 20 years later....
