Anybody got this one? No? Well, I'll tell ya then...

4/9 Royals at Tigers

pre-game - hung out on the Royals side as the Tigers were heading in when the gates opened. Smart choice on my part: 500 on the home side vs. 10 on visitors (who had the field).

Austin Jackson 0/1 - ran over from other side when I saw him signing and got there about 2 mins before he quit. No huge deal, have got him before.
Jeff Francis 2/2 - 09 A&G SP, 10 Topps
Alcides Escobar 1/2 - 11 Topps
Mike Aviles 1/1 - 08 Topps U&H RC

then I got kicked out by security, but my seats were on a good spot on the home side, so it works out. Tigers stretch out, and some more action right before first pitch...

Alex Avila 0/1 - signed right by dugout - which is too far for me to even try to get anything from where I'm sitting. At least I have got him before, so again no big deal
Magglio Ordonez 0/1 - I had to go one or the other, and I think you all would have done the same...
Miguel Cabrera 1/1 - 10 Topps Legendary Lineage w/ Kaline. I'm sending it to Kaline at some point this summer w/ fee.

then hung around the parking garage post-game for an hour - while a few players were still around (Inge and some nobody's). Already have plenty Inge, so skipped out then. Still did well, even w/ security limiting to 1...

Phil Coke 1/2 - 10 Topps. Apologized to the youngster for not winning today as he signed his "My First Tigers Game" sheet. I did tell him that he still did a great job and should win his next start.
Jeff Jones 2/2 - 82 Topps, 83 Topps. Cleaned up on him w/ a little help.
Rick Knapp 0/0 - I'll try him when he actually has an item out there that is worth him signing. It hasn't happened in a couple years and he easy to get

Scans will be up Monday for those who have that "seeing is believing" philosophy for the Miggy (which I have too :p).
 
that will be nice with Kaline on it...love the guy almost a lifer .300 hitter, 3000+ hits, 400 hr's....stayed with the same team for almost 30 years...wish there were still players like that around today...i guess Chipper is in that same ballpark...but he's knocking on retirement and only has 2500 hits.
 
Nice stuff Zack. Im attending my first Tigers game on May 5th, I might have to shoot you a pm with some hunting questions :)
