. . . and i got paul kariya yesterday morning on a nashville puck.

Nice pick ups on the autographs.

Did Nashville stay in town Monday night and fly to Detroit on Tuesday? I thought about checking on that, but decided to take a pass.

nashville stayed overnight and left tuesday morning around 9:30 am.

[longhorn1996]

I got kobe when they arrived at the hotel after their flight in..a little bit later he went with his wife to eat dinner at The Palms (steak place) in the West End. he signed some after dinner there too.

[Iamgoodyy]

Anyone know if the Majestic shop at AFIA has Tex or MY world classic jersey shirts?

[mac21]

i also got the red wings to sign a mini helmet when they were in town. i got a lot of the big stars including zetterberg, datsyuk, lidstrom, shanahan, draper, osgood, and some others as well. yzerman flat out said no and chelios at first said yes he would sign until 3 other guys came behind me and he saw them and said nevermind. guess its to much time for him to sign 4 autographs. :rolleyes:

Longhorn where do the players stay at?

[DIRK]

Also anyone know why the individual game Ranger tickets are going on sale so late (March 3)?

[Cowtown]

Also anyone know why the individual game Ranger tickets are going on sale so late (March 3)?

I already have my tickets.:D Spring for one of the mini-plans; it is well worth the investment. The perks (comp. tickets to Rangers & Stars, Six Flags, etc...) have been worth more than what I paid for my mini-plan each of the past few seasons.

Last year the individual tickets went on sale a little later than usual. If this works like last year, season ticket holders will be able to purchase individual game tickets a day or two before the March 3 general public date.

[DIRK]

The thing is though that we did the mini plan last year and went to 3 of the 12 games because it was so hot, bad seats, team playing poorly when it was our turn to go see games. Dont wanna do that again!

I understand.

[Iamgoodyy]

I've got my package already. I did the 10 ticket package deal for the corner box seats. I upgraded my seats to opening day against the 'Sox to behind homeplate like 20 rows up. Already have the tickets too.

i was able to get roger staubach to sign a football and mini helmet at The Ticket during his appearance there yesterday.

I guess while most of you are at Ticketstock, I'll be in Houston going for some All Star autos.

I was wondering how the All-Star festivities in Houston would impact Ticketstock and the regulars at DFW autograph events.

For those thinking about attending Ticketstock for Aikman's siging session, the Ticket announced this week that 400 autograph tickets will be distributed.

Last year my son and I did the overnight adventure at Ticketstock for Reggie Jackson. We arrived about 8:30pm; we were about 40th in line. Only about 20-25more people showed up until the next morning. The line didn't really start ot grow until about 7am. By the time they handed out the Jackson tickets at 10:00am there were probably well over 800 people in line.

The area we lined up along last year was covered; and there were a few power outlets--incase you want to bring a laptop or game system for entertainment while you wait.

I'm probably heading over in the morning

http://www.theticket.com/pics/ticketstock-2005/saturday/images/IMG_9582.jpg

We were several people ahead of the big blue tent.

http://www.theticket.com/pics/ticketstock-2005/jackson/images/IMG_9897.jpg

We did the overnight thing more for the adventure than insuring an autograph. We knew we could arrive early morning and still get a ticket.

[Cowtown]

this morning they said 500.

Good to hear. They had been saying 400 all week. In previous years, they had handed out 500 tickets for the 2-hour signing sessions.

I think I'm heading over for Aikman tomorrow. My son and I are going over Saturday for Perry and Wright.

[Cowtown]

For those coming to Ticketstock check the weather for Friday and Saturday.

Projected high for Friday 38, possible light precipitation.

Possible freezing rain on Saturday.

[cniles]

Its my 1st year and I will be there more for the experince myself with my uncle,BUT believe me we will stay warm.Taking a few blankets and a few layers of clothes.See ya out there.Good luck

[Cowtown]

What time do people usually start the line Longhorn,an help would be appreciated

cniles--hope you stayed warm last night!:D

500 people were in line for the Aikman autograph tickets well before 6:30am this morning!

[Bryan316]

Anyone going to 'Rados game tonight?

It's on FSN at 7:30 if you can't make it.

[cniles]

Got back home today and boy was it cold Thursday night,I being the diehard Cowboys fan I am almost called it quits.Well worth the wait and will try and post some pics tomorrow or Sunday.

[Cowtown]

Glad to hear you avoided hypothermia and had a good time.

When the front blew in I decided that the Aikman autographs I already had would do just fine for now.

[Cowtown]

Cowtown Jr and I ventured out to Ticketstock today. The threat of freezing rain kept the crowd size down. We arrived at 8:00am, got in line for Rayfield Wright autograph tickets--#55 & 56; far different than yesterday's crowd for Aikman. We were able to get back in line for a second set of autograph tickets; we could have scored a third set. It was the same for G@ylord Perry. Cowboys runninng back Marion Barber was there as well, very easy to get tickets for his autograph session.

A few pictures:

Gretzky is a great start to a hockey collection.

The Stars practice facility in Frisco is a great place for autographs. The Stars post their practice schedule on their website. You are allowed to wait in the area where the players walk from the locker room to their cars in the garage. They are all good about signing.

Hull is usually pretty good about signing here in the metroplex; there was a timeframe a couple years ago when Hull occaisionally would sign only hockey cards. He still lives in the area and occaisionally shows up at Stars events; he seems to be back to signing most anything you have.

Here's a sampling from my son's Hull collection (picked up at charity golf tournaments, Stars practice/events, and the Redwings team hotel in Nashville):

Hey Guys, Sorry to jump into your thread. I have a quick question for you. I ordered my Rangers vs. Yankees tickets this morning(for May 5th). I got pretty good seats for the game, Sec. 18 behind the Yankees dugout. They have a offer to also go to the Baltimore game on Thursday night(May 4th), for half price tickets. I was thinking of going down a day early and seeing that one. Where in the ballpark would be a good place to sit for pretty cheap?? I just spent $160 on the 3 Yankee tickets, so I wanted to go a little cheaper. I was thinking Left or Right field but ??? I will have the wife and my 6 year old son with me so I dont want to get too high up(lose interest). I have only been to the ballpark once, so I really dont know a good place(shade, sight etc.) Any help from you guys that go pretty often would be helpful!!!! I have to order the Balt. tickets Friday. THANKS!!! for any help.

[Cowtown]

If your looking for shade and an area that will keep your son's interest, go with the lower level in right field. The Rangers bullpen is out there, and there is a children's game zone in the plaza behind center field.

Security is especially tight for NBA teams. Security is a bit more lax for NHL teams. My son & I went over today for the Avs and stayed for the Suns arrival. No security when the Avs left for the game. We ordered drinks at the Starbucks, sat at an outside table, and waited for players--the bus loads right by the Starbucks.

About 5 minutes prior to the Suns arrival security came out and started clearing the area where the bus was to park. When the team arrived hotel security tried to keep people at a distance. My son was able to get Steve Nash's autograph, but he had to be very sneaky.

Here are pics of his 'graphs from today:

I got nash earlier this year on a basketball as well as shawn marion. if visible waiting for the team bus that is not very smart. park across the street then walk across when the bus hits...sneaky remember???....or park in the hotel lot but wait in your car...

the best time to get a basketball team is if they stay after a game overnight or when they return from practice.

Anyone going to the Ticket's QB Bowl at Reunion April 20?

[DIRK]

Hey guys! Anyone going to the Yankee game(s)...I reccomend buying 6 dollar tickets for all three games and going extremely early. Get good positioning on the 3rd baseline and Derek Jeter signs 2 out of 3 games, and Torre signs often too.

[cniles]

I appreciate all the info I get here form you guys in the Big D.I have an uncle in Dallas and work for an airline and want to expand my autograph collection besides basketball.Ive been wanting to go to a few Yankee games.I want to attend the QB Bowl but I get married on April 22nd and I dont know how it will go over with my better half.Longhorn thanks for the pic,I didnt even think of getting it in gold,but I am now.I just hope Kobe signs(last trip he signed 3,one was my boys)!!!!

Have any of you guys found any Cooperstown 3/ MLB 14 in DFW yet? I've looked at 3 TRU's and nothing yet. I can't find NFL either. Hockey and Nascar :(

[sibelius]

TRU in Irving and NRH Texas had 14 and lots of Cooperstown, especially NRH. They've moved the McFarlanes around to another set of shelves at NRH. I saw a lot of figures - full sets of Cooperstown - but no chases.

the ones in arlington moved as well too. i dont really look for mcfarlanes anymore though. i think i just visit the board to chat.

[sibelius]

Forgot to mention - TRU in NRH had the Yankee 3 packs as well.

[SSChad2]

Anyone have any suggestions for getting Jeter's autograph? I've been trying the last 2 yrs. I get there really early, but does anyone know if he picks a certain line or anything? Thanks.

[Msteg45]

Hey guys, just went hunting for some SP's until the storm came through. What's left for you guys:

TRU on 75 in Dallas (walnut hill)- complete set of a MLB series 14, a bunch of team canada and NHL legends 3

TRU on 75 in Plano-- a bunch of red sox 3 packs, 2 ny yankees 3 packs, a Carlton Fisk, most of series 14, almost all of Legends 3, and a lone Kevin Mawae


If you guys find stuff across the metroplex will you post it? It makes it easier for all of us.

Whaaaa?!

I was there at 10:30 this morning and there were no Lee's. 13 figs but no Lee. I was hoping they would have Cooperstown. I had to go to the dentist during the beginning of school and thought I'd hit some luck going early with them getting some new stuff, but oh well.

[Jessica Wilfint]

I figured out why. He isn't in the series.

[DIRK]

Ha well thats why! I wouldve bought one if It was there!

[Jessica Wilfint]

...and no BoSox packs at Walnut Hill?

[Jessica Wilfint]

Ha well thats why! I wouldve bought one if It was there!

I don't collect a ton of MLB. I get the lines mixed easily.

Same here, Legends and Yankees are all i do. Or anything i find for $5 at Tuesday morning!

I'm the same way with hockey and basketball, Legends or $5 that's it.

[Msteg45]

...and no BoSox packs at Walnut Hill?

Nope, not yankees packs either. Pretty empty (minus the sosa/helton two packs.) Plenty of them in Plano (75 and Parker.) I went there yesterday and they didn't have anything and today they had all this. I wish i had gotten there in the morning, maybe there would've been some more Cooperstown.

Oh btw, I was getting Ramirez mixed up with Lee. One cub is as good as another to me.

[Bryan316]

i thought about it but i'll probably pass...you going?Yeah, dad emailed me saying he got like 6 or 8 tickets, and I honestly had no idea what it was. After researching it, I'm definately looking forward to it moreso than I did the CCoI.

[Cowtown]

Anyone have any suggestions for getting Jeter's autograph? I've been trying the last 2 yrs. I get there really early, but does anyone know if he picks a certain line or anything? Thanks.

-Chad

He usually works his way down the 3rd base line; he usually doesn't stay with a one-aisle line. It is a zoo when Jeter or ARod comes over to sign; the lines dissapear and everyone crushes forward. My son got Jeter at the Ballpark in 2004. Good luck.

Season ticket holders get into the Ballpark 30 minutes before everyone else, so most of the lines are pretty long when the gates open (especially true with the popular teams like NY and BOS).

I just went to the TRU in Frisco. They had every Cooperstown 3 except Nolan. There is still everything up there except Mantle (I got the last one) and Nolan. Also, no mlb series 14.

Oh, and like 3 or 4 Yankees 3 packs, but no Sox 3 packs.

[sibelius]

The Arlington TRU has virtually nothing as of lunchtime, 3/9. They haven't gotten MLB 14 or Cooperstown yet.

[Jessica Wilfint]

Anyone ever had a case where they put out MLB figures a day apart?

In a nutshell, MLB 14 came into TRU yesterday and they didn't have the BoSox pack. Should I even bother looking today?

[Msteg45]

Just go to the Toy r us in Plano. They were pretty stocked at 8:30 last night.

And if you go, and they have a Astros Ryan, pick it up for me ;)

[Jessica Wilfint]

A little far for today. I might head over Friday if I have time. If it's their, I will snatch it up.

[longhorn1996]

went to TRU Camp Wisdom yesterday they had all the new lines and some yankees 3 packs. there was a varitek chase on the pegs but i left it.

also barry sanders was signing at the OSU booth at the Big 12 tourney yesterday. they were charging $5 per auto and $25 for inscriptions.

plus cal ripken, jr was in town yesterday for a boys and girls function. he signed for the 20 or so people that were there.

[longhorn1996]

thurman thomas is supposed to be signing there today.

[Jessica Wilfint]

Anything new to report today gang?

[sibelius]

my wife found a Chase Nolan Ryan at the NRH TRU this morning. There was a ton of Legends and 14 there.

[Jessica Wilfint]

Walnut Hill has nothing new as of last night. No Yanks of BoSox packs.

[Frogman]

FW Walmart had NBA10 or whatever series is out. 10 figures....2 of everyone....no Lebron and no chase.

[Jessica Wilfint]

Any weekend finds? I am gonna head out today and see what I can't find. Still looking for the Boston 2-Pack.

[sibelius]

On Saturday I found a chase Jeff Kent and chase Nolan Ryan in Arlington. I went to Arlington and Irving today looking for the 3" Soriano for Hardcore Legends (Missed out on that one) and didn't find anything new. The Irving TRU has 3 packs for Yanks and Red Sox. Arlington had the Yanks 3-pack only.

[Msteg45]

heading for a little hunting tonight, probably won't find crap after 7, but it's worth a try i guess. Walmart seems to be having more SP's than usual.

[Msteg45]

what's new guys?

[Cowtown]

For those baseball fans out there, the Fort Worth Cats have the following making appearances this season:

May 13: Duke Snider
June 16: Bob Schieffer (CBS News, former Ft Worth resident), also Bob Schieffer BOB-blehead Night
June 17: Sparky Anderson
August 19: Bob Feller


Single game tickets go on sale April 1.

[Msteg45]

Cowtown, what are the odds of getting autographs? If I can get a duke snider auto i'd drive to ft. worth, but if not, that's a hell of a drive.

[Cowtown]

I've not been to a Cats game, but according to friends who have been the odds are pretty good. Perhaps, someone else on the board has been to a Cats game in the past when Snider or Anderson were in attandance (both have been honorees at games in recent years).

[Msteg45]

Awesome, I need to see if the Rough Riders are doing anything similar.

[Cowtown]

My son and I plan to be at the May 13 (Snider) and August 19 (Feller) games. We are hoping that both will be accessible. Feller is an autograph machine.

[Cowtown]

Cowtown, what are the odds of getting autographs? If I can get a duke snider auto i'd drive to ft. worth, but if not, that's a hell of a drive.

I did some further checking on guests at the Cats games and autographs. The usual pattern is that the guest is set up to sign autographs prior to the game--don't know the exact timeframe. Also, on special days such as the retirement of Sparky Anderson's number there is a pretty good chance that Maury Wills will be in attendance--he attends several Cats games each season.

A few other additions to the Cats guest appearances:

May 11: Fergie Jenkins to throw out the first pitch (tentatively scheduled)
July 12: The Famous Chicken

[sibelius]

Man, I'd go to get autos from Feller, Snider and Sparky! My wife LOVES going to the Cats games. She likes the atmosphere better than the major league games. So talking her into going won't be hard at all.

[sibelius]

Just saw a sign at the Irving TRU - on April 1 a Reds player will be there signing free autographs. Can't remember the name of the player, but they have a sign up by the exit door if you're interested.

i called and they said it was steve gibralter...i believe he went to duncanville or desoto hs and was drafted by the reds in 90. he used to be a friend of my brother when he was in hs. steve used to work at the bowling alley in desoto also. i don think he's in their organization or is still playing.

that reminds me...i'm going to need you there to sign my name for me as i'm too lazy to do it myself. :eek:

[sigep001]

I saw on another message board (www.cowboyssignings.com) that Duke Snider won't be signing at the Cats. He'll be in attendance, but won't sign. Apparently, someone on that message board emailed the Cats' GM and asked.

He did say that both Bob Feller and Fergie Jenkins would be signing. I might make the trip for both of those guys since my parents still live in Arlington.

[Cowtown]

^^Thanks for the update on Snider.

[mikedanger]

got my tickets for opening day on monday...now i just need to start fake coughing around the boss on friday afternoon. :D

I'll be there. I really wish they weren't doing the Longhorn crap before the game though.

I was thinking about going on opening day, but I can't get away from work right now. :(

ive got tickets for the 2nd game on tuesday...

i bought 25 tickets for the first row in the upper level behind home plate and down the first base line for a grand total of $40 which includes shipping. bought em off of ebay from one seller.

[Msteg45]

Hey guys, i just got a case of NBA legends 1, and I've got an extra set of regs i'm trying to get rid of. I'm looking to trade them for a NBA Legends chase (except Erving) or cash.

Let me know if any of you guys need this.

my wife has never been to a hockey game and she wants to go. She'd never been to a basketball game and a friend gave us tickets for the Mavericks vs. the Nuggets on Sunday, in the platinum seating area. I let her take her daughter to the game and she had a blast. Now she gets to go to the hockey game . . . she's lovin this!

[Msteg45]

haha, good job! my girlfriend took me to the stars game on new years eve. She even bought the tickets. She was bored out of her mind the whole time though haha.

[sibelius]

My wife is very cool - during the football season she goes with me to the Iowa Hawkeye alum gatherings on Saturdays and to the sports bar to watch the NFL on Sundays, and she's hollering and cheering as much as I am. She loves watching sports and wants to go to the games even more than I do!

[Frogman]

Same here. I'm way into sports, but my wife is worse than I am! She'll watch anything!

[sibelius]

Same here. I'm way into sports, but my wife is worse than I am! She'll watch anything!

We're very, very lucky, Frogman. I drive around my neighborhood and see guys in their garages, watching TV in a makeshift sports room out there. I wanna grab them and shake them and say, "Hey pal - don't you pay part of the mortgage here??? Get your butt inside and watch TV in the house!" LOL

Yep, we're lucky to have wives who watch sports with us and support our hobbies. Of course, I just spent $265 on a Faberge Barbie for my wife so she's getting something out of this too!!!!

[mikedanger]

sometimes that can be a bad thing though...my wife is so into sports that the NCAA womens championship game was on our tv the other night. i had to go in the other room to watch american idol. :)

[Msteg45]

yeah, the fact that you chose to watch american idol is a bad thing. You should go to the doctor and get your gender checked.

There's no need to make a special trip. We were thinking about making the drive to Houston for a game, checked the promotional schedule, but none of the dates worked.

might want to check out your local finish lines... Tex and Blalock jerseys for 29.00 reg 90 and 100.....

10$ is 10$ but i paid 10 for Blalock and Tex a couple years ago, and it has turned out..

i plan on coming down for Ian... if anyone wants a rangers soriano, i can bring it for a good home...

[Bryan316]

Where are the vouchers/tickets at? Our season tickets are 119, T, 15-18. It'll be a great game to go to, as our league-leading 9-2 'Rados prepare to manhandle a 3-8 Grand Rapids team. With some help, we can even clinch a playoff spot!

[Cowtown]

Any of you guys have DirecTV?

I'm looking to switch from DishNetwork, and I'm looking for some info about the alternate channels for ESPN, ESPN2, and FSN. With DishNetwork whenever the Astros and Rangers are both playing on FSN, I receive the feed for both teams--one on the regular FSN feed and the other on an FSN alternate channel. The same holds true for regional broadcasts on ESPN/ESPN2. Does DirecTV work the same?

[Frogman]

I've got DirecTV, and if I'm not mistaken, you have to subscribe to the top level package to get all the alternate channels (especially for FSN). I could be wrong though.

[Cowtown]

I've got DirecTV, and if I'm not mistaken, you have to subscribe to the top level package to get all the alternate channels (especially for FSN). I could be wrong though.

I think I'm asking the question in the wrong manner. I have the basic DishNetwork package. I understand the extra cost for all the various FSN regional networks. I was just wondering about the FSN Southwest feeds and the ESPN/ESPN2 feeds.

On nights like tonight, when both the Rangers and Astros are being carried on FSN (Southwest)--the Astros in the Houston market and the Rangers in the DFW market, do you get both games? With DishNetwork, one game is on the regular FSN Southwest channel and the other is on an alternate channel.

There were similar broadcast issues on ESPN/ESPN2 during the NHL playtoffs in the past.(also with MLB games where ESPN has different games for regional broadcasts) Games were on ESPN and/or ESPN2 and an alternate regional broadcast was on the alternate channels for each (ESPNA & ESPN2A).

However, I get ZERO Mavs games unless they're on TNT or ESPN. FSN blacks out Mavs games for some strange reason here in Houston.

I do get Stars games that are on FSN, so that's nice.

Guys! Does anyone know the dates of the Cowboys camp at Valley Ranch? I want to go and get autographs, and one of my teammates just got signed to a 3 year deal with the Boys, so I want to come give him some support.

I don't think Cowboys camp at Valley Ranch is open to the public.

[Frogman]

I'll be needing a White Flyers Forsberg and a Coyotes Roenick if anyone comes across them when NHL12 hits.

Thanks. :)

for some us autograph seekers who go to concerts for autos there is a tour bus at hotel zaza. kid rock and rob zombie play separate shows tonight so those are the two options of who it could be.

im leaning more towards kid rock being at zaza.

[Cowtown]

Mikedanger--It was good seeing you and Sarah at the game tonight. Cowtown Jr. worked his magic; figured out what suite Earl Weaver and Bill Mazeroski where in; scouted their exit route to the limo waiting outside the ballpark; and, scored an autograph from each.

[mikedanger]

it was good to see you guys too...i'm not at all shocked that cowtown jr was able to pull that off. he's like the ethan hunt of the autograph world. :D

[Cowtown]

. . . he's like the ethan hunt of the autograph world. :D

the hall of fame players in town were staying at The Four Seasons.

[longhorn1996]

lol

i see that you have joined big anthony's autograph board. :)

[longhorn1996]

cowtown not sure if you and jr. plan on going for the spurs, but just to let you their team officials LIVE to keep autograph seekers away. ive gotten duncan, parker, and ginobli before but their officials are the biggest a**es in the NBA.

[Cowtown]

We weren't really planning on giving the Spurs a try. We had too many scheduling conflicts to give the Four Seasons a try for the HOF events--I heard that security was pretty tight.

I finally decided to register on Big Anthony's site.

With the Byron and Colonial, our focus will be on the PGA for the next two weeks.

[Cowtown]

[longhorn1996]

went to the hotel after suns practice yesterday. security was non existent and i watched every single player get off. the only one that signed was boris diaw. i got him twice. steve nash just waved hi but didnt sign. i also went after the game and once again security was non existent and watched every single player get off. didnt get anyone. amare was holding a baby so i thought it would be rude to ask him. steve nash wasnt on the bus i guess he went out with dirk after the game.

[mikedanger]

steve nash wasnt on the bus i guess he went out with dirk after the game.

i hope not...please put your friendship aside for the next few weeks.

[Cowtown]

i hope not...please put your friendship aside for the next few weeks.

Nash & Dirk went out for dinner together on Tuesday night--just mentioned on The Ticket.

[longhorn1996]

TRISTAR listings already out Jerry Rice Damm my wallet is already hurting:eek: :eek:

Yeah, they listed all that before the Houston show. We already spent over $1k in Houston, now I gotta save up for Arlington.

I'm thinking:
Big Red Machine Bat
Rice Helmet
Moon mini
Gates mini
Schmitt Ball
Boggs Ball
Rayfield Wright Mini
Skyler Green mini

This is going to get nasty :)

Plus, I'll be in CT during June and I'll be up in Boston for the June show. I want a Reggie Jackson signed bat!

[mikedanger]

qft

did you just call me a name? don't make me come out there!! :p

[mikedanger]

[Cowtown]

Make that 2 HRs for Kinsler on the night.:eek: :D

[mikedanger]

what an awesome game to watch! i'd written them off for dead!

[Bryan316]

Guess that'll teach me to run off to an overcrowded GameWorks.

[Bryan316]

Let me get this straight: you work in the videogame department of TRU (you do still do that, right?), and go to GameWorks in your free time?

ITS TIME FOR AN INTERVENTION - Who's with me?Nono, I left TRU last November. Well, "left" is the term I'll use. I opted for Disneyland over working Green Friday. However, I am hopelessly addicted to games. The $10 Thursday Special at least gets me out of the house!

[Msteg45]

Anyone find any MLB 15 around the DFW area yet? My Walmarts and TRU's suck.
