GTA Auto Thread - Gary Roberts, Mr October! Jenkins, Perry, Feller, Weaver

[cactuscraig]

We're also firming up our schedule for the remainder of the summer, and I see at least three more HOFers in our future, plus one wrestling great and maybe a Blue Jay or two? Let us know who interests you, and we'll see what we can do!

Wrestling great... Could it be: "The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be" ? ? ? ? ?

Current or Jays alumni ??

[JaysFan99]

Wow, cournoyer has been around alot.. He was at the Last expo, and Milton Toyota the same weekend . He was also at Framed Memories a few weeks ago and did the montreal show with Aj;s last week through drop off.

[wfrazerjr]

Wrestling great... Could it be: "The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be" ? ? ? ? ?

Current or Jays alumni ??

I won't give out any hints on any future signers, other than to say the Jays would be current.

As for Cournoyer, he has signed quite a bit recently, but we have a fairly large core of collectors who will wait for us because we're generally cheaper, especially if you have multiple pieces to get done. Also, most of the people in the Barrie area wouldn't have driven to Cambridge to get him.

My philosophy is basically this -- I'll bring anyone in as long as I know 2/3rds of my cost are covered before we hit the public signing. That's also how we can keep the prices pretty low.

Now, suggestions! Here's a few people thrown out to me recently -- your thoughts?

Les Binkley
Marty Pavelich
Marcel Dionne

[JaysFan99]

True, I bet there are alot of collectors in the Barrie area, who dont always drive to the GTA.

[cactuscraig]

Current Jays, nice!

Suggestions for guests:
Bert Olmstead
Bret Hart
Dave Keon (he's in northern Ontario every summer)
Mick Foley (would be a good draw for the wrestling fans in Barrie)
Larry Keenan (former Leaf)
Dave Andreychuck
Keith Primeau
John LeClair

[cactuscraig]

A regular pen is best for autographs on a baseball, correct?

Marty Pavelich would be awesome! I badly need his sig on a few pieces.

Ted Lindsay is another I've love to see you guys bring in if possible.

[JaysFan99]

Ted Lindsey would be a good signer. I dont think he has been around for a few years, I missed him when he was at Channel 2 plus years ago. Bill Gadsby as well.

[JaysFan99]

Apparently Bert Olmstead's asking price is too high, according to Aj's.

[cactuscraig]

Lindsay was at the Pickering Markets recently.

[Hoss16]

anyone with a hockey SP

[JaysFan99]

Lindsay was at the Pickering Markets recently

Not last summer thats for sure, mabye the summer before that one (05) or prior. So whats that 2 years? Not recent if you ask me.

He shoudl be due in 2007, plus he is getting up their in age.

Last summer, only Salming and Frank M were at Pickering markets.

[MakaveIi]

Peter M was also at the markets.. with Frank of course

[wfrazerjr]

I spoke with Ted M. at the 1967 Leafs show over the weekend, and he and I will talk later this summer if you guys want him in. He'd be $25 for sure, though, and we'd have to have a fair number of preorders to book it.

I'll check into Lindsay, although I know he's more than Yvan.

[JaysFan99]

Ted M, or Frank M? Ted Lindsey was charging $20 or so in Michigan I think. I think my max on him would be $30, for 2-3 graphs.

Thanks for checking into him, how much more than Yvan do you think it would be?

And I'm sure I'm not the only one that needs many Marty Pavelich autographs, that would be amazing if you could get him.

[JaysFan99]

Marcel Dione did an appearance at AJ's January 06, so over a year ago, he might be worth bringing in. People will have all sorts of stuff from SP's , 72 Summi Series, Detroit stuff. , Kings.

[Hockeyfan33]

Bring in Charlie Hodge

[Hockeyfan33]

Guys, sucks to do it on the same day as Sittler appearing somewhere else, but it's the only day I could book him. Posted on the web site today:


Your signing doesn't interfer with Sittler at AJ's !!!!

[cactuscraig]

Ah, sorry I was thinking Alex Delvecchio... Had him mixed up with Ted Lindsay.

[JaysFan99]

Your signing doesn't interfer with Sittler at AJ's !!!!

It does with Sittler at Untouchables, but with them at Aj's people now have options.

I stopped by Untouchables on my way home from work, all their supplies were cheap. I bought 16x20 top loaders for 2.95 each, they are usually $5.

They said they are working on Johnny Bower next, and are aiming for one guy a month. Hopefully they do there research on who what guests will attract the most people etc.

[cactuscraig]

If my projected starting rotation is correct... Josh Towers should be starting on April 13th, so he'll be the pitcher no-show at the Jays BBQ.

[JaysFan99]

http://www.signingshotline.com/pastsignings/pastsignings.asp Just click Autograph events, then go to past events.

Just checked signings hotline.com signing history. Ted Lindsey last did a show in Ontario, in October 2004. So 3 years this October. Hopefully he is around again sometime soon.

[wfrazerjr]

Ted M, or Frank M? Ted Lindsey was charging $20 or so in Michigan I think. I think my max on him would be $30, for 2-3 graphs.

I was talking about Ted Lindsay. He may have been $20 in Detroit, but remember 1) that's US funds and 2) they didn't have to pay travel expenses for him. I'll start beating the bushes to get an idea about preorders for him, but I'm guessing he'd be $25-30CDN, and I prefer to keep it at $25 or less if I can. I'll also work on Pavelich.

As for the others:

Dave Andreychuk -- never thought about it, but I'll do some checking
Keith Primeau and John LeClair -- I doubt we'd do any preorders for those guys
Larry Keenan -- I'll ask around
Bret Hart -- looking into it
Dave Keon -- not a chance
Mick Foley -- was just in town for free at the Marlies game, but man, would I love to have dinner with him after the signing!

Thank you so much for working on Pavelich, he's one guy I need on atleast 5 pieces I have :)

25-30 is a pretty good price for Lindsay too!

[JaysFan99]

Hey Wayne

Some players I feel will do well, with pre orders

1. Dennis Hull, played in 72 summit series, lots of people with those pieces, played for Chicago, lots of the collectors in the hobby have Chicago stuff to get signed.

2. Ted Lindsey, hasnt had an appearance in years, and is always popular, lives in Michigan

3. Bill Gadsby, been over two or three, years is getting up there in age, seems to have decent prices, also lives in MIchigan, and still promoting is new book

4. Elmer Lach - one of the oldest living hall of famers, Original six hab,

5. Charlie Hodge, was at the expo in 2005, missed him, original six hab, goalies always seem to do well.

6. Todd Gill, - Long time leaf, was reasonobly good, cant remember him ever having an auto appearance.

7. George Chuvalo- Boxing lovers, Canada's greastest boxer ever, Canadian icon, most people at signign evens, agree they would love to have him do a signing, Lives in Etobicoke,

[MakaveIi]

DOMI (I hate to say it...)

[wfrazerjr]

DOMI (I hate to say it...)

Then don't. Ha!

Just kidding. Domi's fee right now would force me to charge at least $35-40 per autograph, and there's no way I'll get any kind of pre-orders for him. Right now, he's dead in every store I know.

Jays, Hull will be around later this summer, so I'll find out about bringing him in. I'll also check on the rest of your list. Out of your guys, I'd love to have Chuvalo, but he does a lot of signing for Frameworth, so again, almost no preorders on him.

I also spoke with Dave Schultz this morning, but that's not going to happen so close to Harvey and Andrew having him down at the Expo.

[ed zachary]

How about Kyle Wellwood.

[cactuscraig]

- Andreychuck is involved with T.Bay alot and is often down at their games. He does return up to the GTA often.

- I know Foley was at the Marlies game (I met him there), but I'm sure there is a largre wrestling fan base in Barrie that would like to meet him.

[JaysFan99]

George would be a guy I would love to meet. The Frameworth prices are expensive, for photos that are already framed. Most collectors dont buy from Frameworth and prefer grabbing the auto's themselves.

For a guy who lives in the GTA, im surprised he never has any appearances.

Chuvalo on his fight with Ali at Maple Leaf Gardens.

[cactuscraig]

Met Chuvalo the same time I met Martin Brodeur (only $10) in 1995 at an Expo in the Pickerking Trade Hall. Have a signed Chuvalo vs Ali picture.

Another suggestion:
- recently retired and future HOF'er Joe Nieuwendyk

[cactuscraig]

Incase you need more Blue Jays items... The Jays Shop opens at 10am on weekdays

[hat-trick]

Chuvalo and Sammy lovespring two canadian greats! Joe "King" Krol football great!

[cactuscraig]

Another guest suggestion: Tony Esposito ! Always a good draw!

[Hockeyfan33]

I would like to see Allan Bester!

[wfrazerjr]

Guys, just an update on Yvan Cournoyer -- we're also expecting 8-10 dealers in the mall for the show, and we will have several different photos on hand, along with pucks and all the appropriate supplies.

Another topic -- I've been tossing out names to you for something I've been considering doing, which is a two-day in the Toronto area in July. I'm currently researching player costs, making contacts, testing the waters for pre-orders, etc., and I'll let you know more as I know more. I have a short list of 15 guys in five or six different combinations I'm mulling over, including an all-goalie show and another different speciality show. I'm also working really hard to try and bring in someone who hasn't done a show in a long while, but we'll see how that goes.

My question is -- are there any current Leafs/Marlies, Raptors or Blue Jays who aren't front-line guys that really interest you? I'm not talking Tucker or Bosh or Burnett. I'm talking less expensive guys that wouldn't cost an arm or leg and I could do cheap to just add to a possible current roster.

[MakaveIi]

I know McCabe would cost an 'arm and a leg' but I'd have to believe he would do well for you..

[JaysFan99]

How about Ian Turnbull. Best offensive defenseman during his tenure for the leafs. He only made on appearance in the last 5 years or so, and it was before a lot of us even knew AJ's existed.

I imagine there is a lot of new collectors or old, who have leaf pieces they would like Ian Turnbull to sign.

[wfrazerjr]

I don't know if these have been posted yet, but Heroes N' Legends are hosting a bunch of guys in the near future, including:

4/21 -- Mike Palmateer ($15/$45)
4/22 -- Johnny Bower ($10/$35)
5/26 -- Wendel Clark ($25/45)
6/9 -- Jean Beliveau ($25/$45)

Curtis Joseph is TBA ($25/$45)

[MakaveIi]

Need a date for CUJO .. too bad the Bower fig wont be out in time.

I'll also be visiting to get my Beliveau fixed (thanks to Channel Sports for running the worst signing ever)

[Hockeyfan33]

Sheridan College Gym
1430 Trafalgar Rd, Oakville

At 1pm meet Maple Leaf Star Nic Antropov
Autograph only $10

[wfrazerjr]

I know McCabe would cost an 'arm and a leg' but I'd have to believe he would do well for you..

I'm not sure he would. I've sold a grand total of one McCabe in the store this season, with no jerseys. He's not popular right now, and his fee is pretty steep.

Turnbull ... anyone know where he lives?

I'm thinking more in line with a John Pohl or Ian White, solid young guys who aren't too expensive and should be around a while.

I just picked up the Heroes N' Legends flyer. If I hear a date, I'll pass it along.

The two-day show is moving along. I think we're going to go all goalies (unless we can add a local player or two), and I think we'll have several of the guys that have been mentioned here. We're also looking into having a limited piece done with all six signers which would be part of a dinner package for the Friday night before the show. The dinner would be limited to 50 people, with all guests appearing. Nothing too fancy, just a chance to sit and talk with the players and enjoy some really good food.

We'll also have a special rate for anyone planning to stay overnight in the hotel, giveaways during the show and a Superticket for all six guests.

[MakaveIi]

bring back Bobby Hull

[JaysFan99]

Never a small line with Bobby Hull. Ian White would be decent, he hasnt made any appearances like Carlo Coliavcovao has.

Any original 6 goalies?

[wfrazerjr]

Bobby Hull would be a minimum of $35 per auto, and I'd need 150-200 preorders.

Jays, at least three. :)

[JaysFan99]

$35 for Bobby Hull is decent. He is one of the best. Since his last appearance I actually got another 2 or 3 pieces I need him to sign. He should be due in 2008.

3 Original 6 goalies..hmm

Eddie Giacomin? Johnny Bower ? Charlie Hodge? Roggie Vachon?

[Hockeyfan33]

Turnbull ... anyone know where he lives?


In Cali

6 goalies! That sounds like a great idea!!

[HazMan]

As a follow up to this post...
- I purchased these on March 22, paid for it with PayPal the same day, the total came to $148.50 Canadian
- The package was shipped on March 23 with US Postal Service
- The package arrived today (April 2)
- There was no duty or fees associated with it

Pretty darn happy!!!



For anyone going to the Jays picnic, I found a seller on ebay that has a dozen official Rawlings MLB baseballs for $109.99US and charges $15US for shipping to Canada.
So, it's $125US, which is about $145 Canadian, or $12.08C per baseball.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7214615261&sspagename=ADME:B:AAQ:CA:1

That's the BIN price and he has 165 available.

[JaysFan99]

Usually if you ask them to mark the package as gift, with lower value, you will avoid Duty fees, or have lower fees if they do decide to open the package. 9/10 it goes through customs okay.

Nice! Sounds like your all set for the Jays BBQ ! Is everyone else all set with items ? All I've got left to get are items for Wells and Thomas.

[cactuscraig]

8 Days until the Jays BBQ ! ! !

[JaysFan99]

I'm all set, I booked a holiday to get off work that day. Anyone figure out who will be starting for the jays on that day?

[ed zachary]

DETROIT -- Thursday afternoon's Blue Jays game against the Tigers has been postponed due to poor weather conditions. Temperatures in Detroit dipped below freezing and the forecast called for snow.
The contest was rescheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET on Sept. 10, when Toronto and Detroit previously shared an off-day. The only other season series between the clubs is a four-game set on April 12-15 in Toronto.

As a result of the postponement, the Jays had to shift the pitching rotation around. Left-hander Gustavo Chacin, who was scheduled to take the mound on Thursday, will start on Friday in the opener of a three-game road series against Tampa Bay. Right-handers Tomo Ohka and Roy Halladay will start against the Devil Rays on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

After the weekend set in Florida, Toronto will kick off its first homestand with a three-game series against Kansas City. Jays right-hander A.J. Burnett will start in the home opener on Monday, followed by righty Josh Towers on Tuesday and Chacin on Wednesday.

[JaysFan99]

If Ohka follows Chacin (likely), Hallady will start on Friday, and not be available for the BBQ. Darn cold weather!

[Hockeyfan33]

From ed zachary's post I get that Burnett is the starting pitcher on Monday. Boo, I was hoping Towers would be but atleast we know Halladay will be there.

[JaysFan99]

hm...let me see, Burnett Monday, Towers Tuesday, Chacin, Wednesday, Ohka, Thursday, Friday Hallday? Whoever pitches Sunday, should be pitching on Friday. Does Okha or Halladay start on Sunday?

[cactuscraig]

Roy Halladay is pitching Sunday April 8th. Which means he will be pitching on April 13th.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[cactuscraig]

My thoughts exactly :( All because it was too cold in Detroit... come on! Football players play in worse temperatures. If that game was up here at Exhibition Stadium it would have been played.

Well, there are 24 other Blue Jays going to be there. I know this was the best chance to meet Doc, but I'm sure there will be other events.

[JaysFan99]

Yah, like the BBQ in 2008. Doesnt look like Aj's can bring him in.

[cactuscraig]

I think there are other whole team events on off-days. Just will have to watch the Jays website some more.

It sure doesn't look like AJ's will get Halladay, they've been trying for a few years now.

[JaysFan99]

Pierre Pilote and Norm Ullman signing $10 each

Saturday April 21 2:30-4:30pm Iroquis Park Arena (Whitby) , brought to you by Hammertime Sports. 905-428-2370 E:hammertimesports@rogers.com


Saturday May 12th, Jonny Bower and several other members of the 1967 team at Hammertime.

I would say as long as Hammertime has these $10 signings for these Hall of Famers, they should continue to have decent crowds. A lot of these older collectors, keep coming back with different books and pieces to get signed all the time.

With Allan Stanley skipping out on the 1967 dinner, if he shows up at Hammertime, alot of people may go to finnish their pieces from the 67 show. Allan Stanley seems to be there every few months, at $10.

[wfrazerjr]

Guys, just an update on the all-goalie show I mentioned last week:

Things are progressing nicely, and I think we'll be able to announce everything by the end of this week. Five of the six guests have confirmed (all six are Vezina winners), we have a good number of dealers lined already and the space is already reserved for mid-July.

As always, though, I don't like to make an official announcement until all the t's are blah blah blah, but I think we're 90% go at this point.

We're also still planning our special dinner for the Friday night before the show. Limited to 50 guests, prime rib or buffet (haven't decided yet) and a chance to meet and greet the players, plus a limited-to-99 framed and matted special piece. Cost will be $249 per person, and we already have 15-20 of the slots filled if its a go.

They'll also be some other surprises, but more on that later.

Thanks, and don't forget -- Yvon Cournoyer on the 21st!

[wfrazerjr]

In other news, sucks about Halladay, but you guys will have a blast, I'm sure. If anyone has an extra ticket at the last minute, let me know!

Is anyone going to the baseball Maple Leafs dinner? I'm planning on it, if I can get out of the Expo fast enough to make it down there.

[JaysFan99]

No clues on the 5 confirmed guests Wayne? Will the show be in the GTA or up in Barrie?

I'm going to the Maple Leafs dinner, last year was a blast. I think Vida Blue maybe appearing, as he will be a guest at the expo with Fergie Jenkins.

[wfrazerjr]

Jays, no clues? C'mon ... all Vezina winners? That's a big clue! You have to narrow it down for yourself!

If you're going down for the dinner, maybe we can hook up and sit at the same table? Do they allow you to get autos from the guests?

AWESOME NEWS WAYNE!
I can't wait. Hodge is a Vezina winner!

[JaysFan99]

If you're going down for the dinner, maybe we can hook up and sit at the same table? Do they allow you to get autos from the guests?

Here's my guess. 1. Dennis DeJordy 2.Johnny Bower, 3. Charlie Hodge, 4. Eddie Giacomin 5. Tony Esposito 6. Billy Smith

Sure, they have an autograph session after the dinner/questions and answers. Fergie Jenkins foundation usually sells 8x10's at the show to get signed.Alot of greedy hounders are always at the front of the autograph line though. They usually hold up the line for a while, with too many requests. The dinner usually sells out, but they do keep a few spots open for people who show up at the time of the show.

[Hockeyfan33]

Here's my guess. 1. Dennis DeJordy 2.Johnny Bower, 3. Charlie Hodge, 4. Eddie Giacomin 5. Tony Esposito 6. Billy Smith


Looks like a good guess John. Smith will be in the area anyway for a golf tournament. Hall also won and has not done a public signing in years. Parent is also a possibility.

[Hockeyfan33]

Saturday May 12th, Jonny Bower and several other members of the 1967 team at Hammertime.

I would say as long as Hammertime has these $10 signings for these Hall of Famers, they should continue to have decent crowds. A lot of these older collectors, keep coming back with different books and pieces to get signed all the time.

With Allan Stanley skipping out on the 1967 dinner, if he shows up at Hammertime, alot of people may go to finnish their pieces from the 67 show. Allan Stanley seems to be there every few months, at $10.

Greg is pretty good at keeping the price really low. It will be interesting to see how many players he gets to show. Keep us posted if you hear anything else please.

[JaysFan99]

I heard Glen Hall doesnt fly, so that's the problem with him. Someone told me Aj's may do another private signing with him this year. I would not mind getting Giacomin, I missed him at the expo a year ago.

I hope there is an apportunity to get some multiple graphs from players at the BBQ Friday. Lets keep our fingers crossed on Halladay still showing up! I'm taking the day off work for this thing!

Ahh, that would explain why he heasn't been around.

[cactuscraig]

I think the Jays will be strict with the amount of autographs you can get. It sounds like they have an area for autographs and then a dining area. They will for sure have a ton of staff in each area to make sure people are only getting 1 autograph each and getting no autographs in the dining area. I'm sure we'll all get reminded again down there.. only 1 each, etc... But never hurts to ask or try for another.

Bad news for those of us going to the Jays BBQ......
Halladay is the starting pitcher Friday.:(

http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/news/probable_pitchers.jsp?c_id=tor

[JaysFan99]

Yep, once they changed the rotation we were screwed. Hopefully they make an exception and he shows up.

[cactuscraig]

No 8x10's of Thomas at the Rogers Centre yet... They only have last season's posed photos of : Overbay, Wells, Ryan and Burnett. They have 8x10 pics of Rogers Centre... $7.99 ea.

Just looking to get items for Wells and Thomas and then I'm all set for Friday.

[aka_chubbs]

Damn...still kicking myself for not buying tickets. Have fun for those of you going (while I sit at work envying you)

[JaysFan99]

How early is everyone heading out to the BBQ? I believe it starts at 11am.

[cactuscraig]

Doors open at 10:30am... JaysShop opens at 10am... My Dad and I might head down early to pick up our Reed Johnson bobbleheads from the ticket office.

[HazMan]

How did you get the bobbleheads?
A ticket package?

I got a jersey done yesterday for Wells to sign and I wasn't too happy about the lettering, it is slightly off centre, might have the name redone.

Yup! The Reed Johnson bobbleheads were a part of this years Flex Pack if you ordered early.
Hope there's some room on them for him to sign.

Where'd you get your jersey done?

[HazMan]

I had a sample jersey that I got a few years ago, a darker grey colour, but the MLB authentic.
I had it done at the Rogers Centre, since I get a discount at the store.

My thought is that Halladay might be around for pictures, but won't be signing anything, since he won't want to risk cramping his hand or anything. I'm bringing my Halladay jersey anyway, just in case :)

Here's my list of stuff for the BBQ that I'm bringing....

Friday April 13th is also the first Flashback Friday of the Blue Jays season. Otto Velez signing autographs before the game.

[Hockeyfan33]

Do you guys think Whitt will be there?

[HazMan]

I think Ernie will be there.
Imight being my bobblegesd for him to sign! (if possible).


Chubbs,
Give me a shout, I have a ticket for you, for the bbq tomorrow.

Chris

[cactuscraig]

I think the managers should be there... I got a card of Gibby in expectation of him being there...

[HazMan]

Good event today.

Chubbs and I got everyone and actually got Vernon Wells twice.

The funniest thing was with Frank Thomas, I had an MLB ball for him to sign and then Chubbs took a picture of the 2 of us, during which he grabbed the baseball (cheap one) I had for Jason Smith and signed that too!!! I didn;t know what to to because I didn't have anything else to have Smith to sign!!

Too bad that Halladay, Glaus, Johnson, Clayton, Accardo and Stairs missed it.

[aka_chubbs]

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE TICKET TODAY CHRIS!!!!

Man, I owe you BIG TIME.

Skipping work and the 4 hour round trip bus ride was worth it!!!

[eggwhite]

Excellent value at the Jays BBQ today.
I'm the guy (with glasses) who let Chubbs back into the Frank Thomas line
to get he jersey redone .... also spoke with you two in another line later.
Stuff that I got done today:
Frank Thomas SP -AS fanfest
B.J Ryan Bobblehead
Ernie Whitt Bobblehead
Rios - Bat card
Overbay - Bat card
Wells - Jersey card
Burnett - #ed Jersey card
Chacin - #ed Jersey card
McDonald - 05 Topps total card
the following on 2006 Topps card
--> Gibbons, Frasor, Janssen, Wells, Phillips, Zambrano
Other guys that were also signing that I missed or had nothing for:
Towers, Ohka, Smith, Zaun, Marcum, Downs, Hill

All in all, 19 players were signing, the coaches (6) were on the field at
the beginning, as well as Ashby and Ricciardi

[JaysFan99]

Yep, Good Event! I got everyone, and Vernon Twice. Vernon was very unfriendly, you think after that monster contract he would at least smile.

My buddy got Jerry Howarth and JP Ricciardi on his jersey he had the team sign.

Hopefully, there will be opportunities to get the players we missed.

Maybe AJ's will end up getting Roy Halladay, as he wasnt at the BBQ and never does the GM signings or anything else.

[JaysFan99]

Where were the coaches ? Were they just walking around the whole time? I looked around for them, but could not find them after the first line up or two.

Darn, I wanted Ernie Whitt on OMLB!

[aka_chubbs]

What the..?? I've seen you almost every weekend for the past month and had no idea this was you. Thanks for telling my dumb ass to break out the paint pen....you should've seen Zambrano's face when he got it all over his hands :p

AWESOME DAY! I scored 3 Well's, 2 Thomas, 2 Janssen and 1 from everybody else. I'll post pics in the next couple of days if I get some time.

[HazMan]

Apparently, the GM signings this year will be the aumni Friday guys, no current players.

That's the 'Word on the Street'

[JaysFan99]

Apparently, the GM signings this year will be the aumni Friday guys, no current players.

Well, at least they are having them. I gues is this good for those who cannot make it down to flashback fridays. Any word on when this will be official? Hopefully they will bring some good alumni this year.

[cactuscraig]

I think I saw you... Were you carrying around a box and in the other hand you had your singed Wells jersey card! If I knew it was you I would have said hello!!

Jays BBQ was a really good event. Sure they started 30mins after the girl said they would start at 10:55am.

Mike, didn't get too much of a chance to talk, just the couple of times we ran into eachother going into lineups. When you saw me earlier we were just rushing to go get the Johnson bobbleheads, plenty of space for him to sign but he was at the doctors.

Here's how we attacked the lines:
1- Zambrano/Rios/AJ/Towers
2- Hill & MacDonald *was photos only at first*
3- Ryan/ Overbay/ Downs/ Frasor
4- Vernon Wells
5- Thomas/Smith/Chacin
6- Jansen/ (Zaun got up and left)/ Ohka/ Phillips
7- Wells & Marcum
8- JP Riccardi

Was going to try for the coaches/announcers afterwards. But they had disappeared. Any word on which players were serving food? (Stairs, Accardo, Clayton) (Glaus, Johnson @ doctors)

Some random notes of things:
- when I gave the 8x10 I have of Burnett to be signed, he showed it to Towers and said: "Dude, look I'm throwing a curveball... look at my elbow it looks messed... Dude, I look pissed".
- when I gave Towers the 8x10 of Rogers Centre, Josh: "That better be me pitching on the mound".
- Me: "Lyle, your commercial is the greatest ever.. I crack up like crazy every time I see it".
Lyle: "Thanks. *smiles*..."
BJ Ryan: "I haven't even seen this commercial yet"..
Me: "When's your commercial coming out?"..
BJ: "Oh, I don't think I'm going to do one" (and gave me a look like he doesn't want to do one).
BJ: "Look at the angry look on that guy's face" *looking at the the 8x10 photo of Overbay and laughing*
- Vernon Wells... was like a robot..
"Hi Vernon"
V-Dub: "Hi, how are you?" *signs photo*
"Pretty good, how are you?"
V-Dub "Pretty good"
"Thanks"
V-Dub "Your welcome".
- Frank Thomas was very approachable and genuinely excited to meet the fans. There were some kids from Variety Village infront of me and he was great with them. Joking and making them all smile.
- Jason Smith... looked angry... Maybe because I called him Mike? haha
- Tomo Ohka said nothing at all
- Jason Phillips was great like Thomas. Phillips' signature probably was the best one of all the Jays.

AND...We forgot to do a bet....... Greasy, slimey, hook-nose was there!

[JaysFan99]

think I saw you... Were you carrying around a box and in the other hand you had your singed Wells jersey card! If I knew it was you I would have said hello!!

Nope,! I had a black knap sack!

Yah, the coaches disapeared, I wanted to get a few of them. Your lucky, Vernon seemed really cold to everyone.

AJ said the same with with my 8x10, he bumped Towers and showed his arm angle to him.

Jason Smith looked like a dear in headlights the whole time.

[JaysFan99]

He is always like that, that's his personality it seems, the last two season I got him to sign, he just relaxed laid back and I think he is shy.I did get a smile from him cause I made him pt inscriptions on my stuff like Gold Glove,All Star 2006 on my stuff, he told me, I was making him work but with a smile on his face.Frank Thomas was even friendlier than last year when I met him as an A's. But great event will definetly do it again.

HAHAHAHAHA! That guy keeps popping up everywhere. Was he trying to talk to you? I think when I was in the Wells line (the first time) I saw you at the front of the BJ & others line with greasy-hook nose guy right behind you.

[scasselin]

nice Jay's auto hauls

[MakaveIi]

the AS pic is a great free Crosby auto. Most look like the SP base or worse .. and thats even when hes in Pittsburgh!

The Ovechkin looks great ..

Here's hoping Dave Steib has a GM appearance if they bring it back. They got to have at least 2 or 3 guests who were star blue jays (Kelly Gruber, Tom Henke, Pat Borders WS MVP etc). .

[cactuscraig]

Hope so too... Those started around May/June last year right?

ps- anyone have their BBQ pics uploaded yet?? Please share!! Should have mine on here so soon as I get a chance to upload.

I went to Pierre Pilote and Norm Ullman yesterday. They also had another table with several old timers, Rob Pearson was there. I just got Pierre Pilote and Norm Ullman and left.

Anybody go to Yvan Cournoyer?

[Hockeyfan33]

Anybody go to Yvan Cournoyer?

I was going to but was lost in the Allison area with my old man looking for a river/pond that is supposed to have a fish ladder. Don't ask :confused: My buddy Rick, aka Viper160, went and this was in his email to me today:

"Not much of a turnout today....spent about 15 minutes talking with Yvon about the state of the game. I tell you, those players from the Habs during that period are true gentlemen........he thanked me 3 times for coming out."

Rick get any info on the Goalie show? Figured it wouldnt be too good of a turnout. Cournoyer just did a show with AJ's which was available for drop off, he was the expo, Milton Toyota, and Framed Memories. Hopefully Wayne did well with the pre orders.

Wayne said things should be wrapping up soon and he hopes to be able to announce who they are although knowing Glen and the era of players he works with, It's pretty easy to guess at them.

Re: the forthcoming goalie show:

Wayne indicated on Saturday that the guest were all confirmed but was not letting the cats out of the bag just yet. The only detail to be finalized was the location....he said maybe this week there would be an announcement. The only thing he did verify was that it would be in the Toronto area (i.e not in Barrie).

5 of the Original 6 teams, my guess is no Goalie representing Detroit.

[cactuscraig]

One goalie probably will be Esposito... other 4?...

[Hockeyfan33]

Bumped into Darryl Sittler this evening (thanks to Viper601 for the tip). He was at a Ford dealership today from 4 to 7 (the same Ford dealership he was at a few weeks ago). When I went to his appearance a few weeks ago I took my 2 year old son who made such a scene that he remembered me when I went back an hour later to get him to add his HOF to something. So this time I enlisted the help from my brother and his girlfriend.

I scored a legends figure from The Ice Box yesterday. Thanks Wayne. Since I had just had him sign a base at AJ's, I asked my brother to handle the base for me. There was no line and one person in front of us. Darryl signed a card for me and gave me a 4 x 6 photo. He signed the base for my brother, including his HHOF without my brother even asking. He then asked my brother "Boy these things are popular. How many of them do you have?" To which my brother replied "a few." I guess you have to know my brother to find the humor in this. My brother, while being a hockey fan, does not have one piece of sports memorbilia in his possesion. He was ver thankful that Sittler did not ask him who else he had.

So all that said and done, I have an extra autographed Sittler figure for trade if anyone is interested.

[keontostajan]

Which dealership is he at? Location? Also anyone find out when the Big M will be at walmrt?

[cactuscraig]

Nice score on Sittler, was he up in Barrie? What would you be looking for in a trade?

[Hockeyfan33]

Nice score on Sittler, was he up in Barrie? What would you be looking for in a trade?

At the Barrie North end Ford dealership. To trade? How about a Reed Johnson Bobbleahead? :) I'm looking for a Grant Fuhr Upper Deck mini mask (St Louis or Buffalo) but need it before the Expo.

[JaysFan99]

I'm hoping for alumni guests, which is a good possiblity due to game start times. Would be nice to grab Henke and Steib without going to any games early.

"Governor Schwarzenegger is a great visionary who has positioned California on the leading edge of the environmental economy. He is demonstrating to the world how we can protect the environment and at the same time enjoy a prosperous economy. Under his outstanding, passionate and courageous leadership, California has set the global gold standard on the great challenge of our time: creating and preserving a sustainable environment.

The Economic Club of Toronto provides local, national and international policy makers and business leaders with a portal connecting them to Canada's most influential people.

Might be an opportunity to hound if you can get past his body guards.

In a similar vein, we have just agreed to host WCW and WWE (and heck, maybe even TNA) star Chris Jericho during a three-day sportscard and memorabilia show at the Kozlov Centre in Barrie.

Jericho will be here on Saturday, August 25, from noon to 2 p.m. Cost of an autograph is $25CDN per piece, and I would imagine he will be signing copies of his new book, "A Lion's Tale".

Available in December:
NHL Legends Series 6

• Cam Neely - Boston Bruins
• Johnny Bower - Toronto Maple Leafs
• Wayne Gretzky 8 - Team to be announced

Maybe Howe will make another apperance in 2008? I bet the lineup will be just as crazy as before. Howe seems to be making a North American tour over the last few months.

I think the Toronto Sportscard Show is due for a guest nammed Gilmour !

[PhilM]

^ prices they've been charging, he'd be 120$

[cactuscraig]

I got Gilmour at FP so I'm good....

[JaysFan99]

I got at least 3 or 4 new pieces, I would not mind Gilmour signing, Hopefully he shows up eventually, he was the Pond in winter 05 I believe.

[JaysFan99]

Jesse Barfield is a Flashback Friday guest on August 17th, maybe he will be at the GM signing on the 18th of August. .

[cactuscraig]

Sweet! Wasn't Barfield a guest last year though?

[JaysFan99]

Sweet! Wasn't Barfield a guest last year though?

Yep, still an awesome signing. It is only one autograph per person, If i had my wish i would walk away with at least 5 autographs from him.

[JaysFan99]

Seems to be an error, for the Tom Henke GM signing.Addision Chevrolet is in Mississauga

Addison Chevrolet is located at:

1220 Eglinton Ave. East (west of Dixie)
Mississauga, Ontario, L4W 2M7
905-238-2886

[cactuscraig]

Is it more than one autograph at the GM signings this year? They got a bit strict last year at some of them.

[cactuscraig]

Any way there could be some sort of list in this thread with the upcoming appearances? Some get bumped and a lot of pages to sort through in here.

[wfrazerjr]

The sixth guest for the Vezina Show is indeed Bernie Parent. He'll be signing Saturday, July 14, from 1-3 p.m. Cost of most pieces will be $20CDN, with loose numbers priced at $30CDN.

All the info is now up on www.hittheicebox.com, and preorder forms will be up on Wednesday. We are almost completely booked up for dealers after handing out more than 500 flyers at the Canadian SportCard Expo this weekend.

I'll add a list to post number 1
Good idea Craig

[wfrazerjr]

If you guys would like me to add a running GTA autograph list to www.hittheicebox.com, I could do that. I don't really have much of a problem with advertising for everyone else in the GTA, as I love them all so much. :)

Also, I don't know if you all know it, but there's a chat function on my web site. If you ever need somewhere to hook up to make plans to carpool to signings or just chew the rag, feel free to use IceBox Chat -- just keep the profanity to a low roar if possible.

[cactuscraig]

I am liking the sound of the goalie show!!! I know I'd like to get my SP signed by Esposito, just have to see if I'll be around that weekend..

Anyone else feel bad for Paul Spoljaric this upcomming weekend at the GM signing?

How did you do at the Expo Wayne?

[HazMan]

So....
I did a quick calculation of the charges for the guests and it would be $115 for all 6 autos.

If I were to get a puck signed by each of them (sent to you, with each in a protector), would I be charged a $5 service fee for each one, or total? (not including shipping back to Toronto)

Middle of the summer trips to Brampton are not easy, as we always have a million things going on, but I am VERY interested in getting these.

Wellwood and Stajan at Future Shop...

I saw on the FP thread ppl heard they are gonna be there this Saturday May12th but missed the location. So I emailed them and this is what I got back:

Hi!
First, thanks for listening to 104.5 chumfm!
The Future Shop ad is the new one in Erin Mills.. the grand opening is this Fri/Sat/Sun
Spot doesn't say when Matt and Kyle will be there - just that they will be - it also
directs you to check out their flyer for all the details.
I would think that their website would have what you need too if you can't get your
hands on a flyer.

Again, thanks for listening!

So the date and location is known, now we need the time :p

[wfrazerjr]

Chris

Nope, the $5 service fee covers your entire order.

The Spring Expo went very well for us. We sold/consigned all of our sticks to Classic Collectibles, and they will go up in the Fall Auction this year. We also had a lot of interest in our NHL practice-worn jerseys, and our raptors gamers are gone.

We handed out more then 500 flyers for the Vezina Show and people seemed very interested. The signings should be on Signings Hotline this week, and we'll have the preorder forms ready to fax out today or tomorrow, and available to download through our web site.

Oh, and I'm pulling down the chat page on my web site. The damn thing crashes every browser I've tried. I'll let you know when we have a new version up.

Thanks!

This exclusive event will be held Friday, July 13, beginning at 7 p.m. For more information or to order your ticket, contact Wayne at (705) 812-3295 or email us at hittheicebox@gmail.com!

The corresponding show will be held July 12-15 at Shoppers World Brampton, with 16 dealers from throughout Ontario selling some of the finest hockey and sports collectibles. Although spots are already filling up fast, we still have room for you!

Dealers receive 24 feet of table space for four days in one of the busiest and best malls in the GTA for just $250! Shoppers World Brampton will be doing heavy advertising for this show, and we'll have the information on Signings Hotline, in Beckett Hockey and the Toronto Star -- you know we'll be busy! For more information, call Wayne at (705) 812-3295, or email us at hittheicebox@gmail.com.

There is now no charge for mail orders and dropoffs!

Someone should email to tell them. They are both the same address, but in different cities.

They haven't answered any emails I've sent into them in a long time. I've even emailed the JaysShop without any replies either.
