My plan is to go. How many people normally go to this event? Should you focus on getting autographs first or go to the jersey section first? How many jerseys do they normally have and what is the price range?

I am coming from the Lehigh Valley area in PA so there is a possibility I could cancel out (maybe even go to the Phillies game instead).

Geoff,

I'll definitely be there. I will be with my pops, uncle, and cousin. I have no idea what I'll have with me for identifying purposes, but I do plan on hitting the game used section as soon as I get in, and hope to buy a bunch. I will keep my eyes open for the red quicksilver back pack. Theres a picture of me up on one of the chat threads...I am with method man. Hope to see you there.

one the event calendar it says that memorabilia sale in Bud Light Warehouse Bar...looks like its in the warehouse, perhaps ground floor. I'm sure we will all find it and make out like champs when we get there!

Geoff,

It was nice to get a chance to meet you today at O's Fanfest. Did you end up with some good stuff?

Picked these up for friends
Crowley home and away jerseys and pants
Adam Stern home jersey
Picked these up for myself
Turn back the clock pants (Acquinos)
2 Markakis hats

Price were a little higher than last year but still pretty decent. 180 for GU jerseys, 90 for game issued, pants were 80, hats were $5! the only bats i saw were tejada and they were 80. some gu helmets but they disappeared pretty quick.
i saw nothing besides the hats for markakis but im still happy with what i took home
Pretty good haul and pretty crazy rummaging through the piles with the collectors!

Just got back from the fanfest. Pretty disappointing. Very few bats, only Tejada and those were $80 GU jerseys were mostly coaches some pitchers, Chad Paranto, Jason Johnson, etc. and were $180. The only decent deals were on hat which were $5, got a couple of those including a Markakis.

If I am paying $180 per jersey, I would hope they would have at least have had some of the mid-level recognizable players. The rest of the even was great- my 3-year old loved it. The lines looked pretty long for the autographs but they had pretty much everybody signing.
