Re: brewers fansfest

I was set up at fan fest today and I had a blast. I was able to meet and talk several GUU members there. I went to the garage sale and there were some good buys when the doors opened up. Jersey's were $50.00 and $75.00 for signed ones. Batting helmets were $25.00 each, gu hats were $10.00 and bats were $25.00. I was able to buy 2 bats and 2 helmets for $100.00 can't go wrong for that price. I had a great day selling game used bats, and other Brewers collectables. I was also able to buy a nice GU Alcides Escobar bat from another dealler. The lines for the autographs were NUTS!! The only bad thing was the food lines... I can't wait until next year!


tknorm,
They had a Cameron bp jersey for $50.00 it was gone before I got to the sale.

Josh,
The dealers that were set up couldn't buy anything until the doors opened up to the public.

Hey Matt,

Thanks for posting. Sorry to hear aobut your frustrations. at least now I can sleep easily tonight without thinking about the Mike Cameron helmet. I think I will make a house payment instead! That listing price is 10x what I have paid for the other 4 helmets I have...

Re: brewers fansfest

Just an update to the requests / inquiries above. I think the event was all around a disappointment from a game used perspective. The team store had items, but they continue to price items at unrealistic prices. $1200 for a Mike Cameron helmet, $1200 for a Mat Gamel bat, ridiculous. So Tommy, I think the Cameron items are probably still available if you are interested...

They did also have a charity "garage sale" setup that featured lower prices for game used items ($50 BP alternate jerseys, bats), but these were mostly from coaches and lesser known players (think spring training invitees) by the time I got there at 10:40 (see below). There were also about 20 tables set up by local card shops and game used dealers.

However, as a bit of background. Doors opened for the event at 10 AM. I arrived at 9:30. The line was so long that it took me until 10:40 to finally get in the doors. As was explained to me by a rather upset fan in an autograph line, apparently as the dealers had early access to the floor to set up their tables, they also had access to the charity sale table and were the first to be able to purchase items. So there may in fact have been some decent items available at reasonable prices that were scooped up before the other fans were able to get to them. That is unfortunate, I guess.

Re: brewers fansfest

Wow, that's bs that Braun will only sign the photos. Does the team store accept debit cards there or just cash?

Re: brewers fansfest

It's now listed on the Brewers website that Ryan Braun will only be signing the team give away picture and he will personalize each one. No other items will be signed...

Re: brewers fansfest

One question here: Is there a probability that they will be selling team-issued jerseys? I know Joe Koshansky did not come up, last year: I would be interested in a TI jersey, if it were available at the fest.

Re: brewers fansfest

Each player has a seperate line. They hand out tickets to each person in line and when you get up to the player they collect the money. There is a limit of 250 autogrpahs per player.

You can bring backpacks with you. They have allowed this in the past.

Re: brewers fansfest

Are All Of The Auto Coupons For Sale In One Line? Or Is There A Line For Every Player?

Re: brewers fansfest

Yes, they do have food & drinks available. I don't know if you can leave and come back.

They did have helmets for sale in the past and they were $25.00 each.

Hope to see some of you guys there and if you have time stop by my table and say HI.
