well this years fan fest has come and gone.....it sucked..... last year at least you could get 6-8 autos....today i walked away with 4. well they dont say who is in what line. gates open @ 7 i was about 25 people back. 5 tables w/ 2 chairs each jammed in one spot.... jump in a line and make friends w/ others so you can jump in theres if u didnt like the one your in ;) so i did that. guy had his wife in one line his friend in the other and he was in our line. so we find out that autos will start @ 9:30!!! open at 7 and no autos till 9:30....alot of standing..... fast fwd 9:45 and the wave of people come. so first 2 people sit down in the guys friend line. i need both and mecier is a hard one to get here in LA. so i was liek im going over there if we have scrubs. (no starters where signing FYI pujols, hunter, trumbo, kendrick ya everyone that was wanted wasnt coming) so our 2 guys come out scott downs and the closer walden...i jumped ship. so did the other guy. his wife had wells and chris innette but didnt need wells so i got aybar and micer pic below

the JIM ABBOTT is FT
 
Any day you can get a couple of guys like Abbott and Witt that's a pretty good day. Congrats!
 
Congrats Chad. I got Aybar and Itzurus as well... so bummed i didn't bring a ball point with me... they both signed in sharpie on the balls and neither signed in the sweet spot. Should have gone with my instinct to give them cards instead of balls.

I agree, it kind of sucked. Mostly because it was so unorgainized.
It was definately a long wait, glad we brought camping chairs. wish we would have stuck around for the retired guys. Would have loved to get Abbott and Finley, still need both!
 
I'm interested in the Jim Abbott auto ball. The only duplicate ball I can offer is an Alan Trammell if you are interested. I don't follow closely enough to know the market but would be willing to trade cards, too, as needed.

I've got a duplicate Jim Abbott auto 8x10 if interested in something different of him.

If interested, let me know what you seek via PM. I'm not following the thread.
Cheers,


Michael
