you can't buy them at the door, you have to buy them from people in line or trade like I did.

I'm glad you had a good time with it. I've had luck swapping in the past, but I could deal with anyone last year. I had the Andersen/Matthews table for the third year in a row, Gload/Billmeyer, Polanco,who no one would bite on, Stues and Herndon, Schneider, Lee and Lidge. Then I paid for Romero and Francisco and Kendrick. I need some better luck this year.

Right I remember now, funnily enough I remember seeing your avatar in my PMs the day you gave it to me.

I don't know if you know the whole story, but I was studying for my medical boards that month, and I was in a pretty bad state mentally with all the stress. My birthday came and went in that month and I barely even celebrated. So when I saw the Phils Phestival was coming up I decided that I couldn't go bc I was too busy.

Then, the days leading up to it, I really regretted not going. I thought to myself that I could go for a half a night and not really lose too much studying. But I couldn't quite get myself over the mental hump to go.

Then you offered me the free ticket, and it all came together. I went to the phestival, had one of the most fun nights I've ever had graphing, and still studied AND DID WELL on the boards at the end of that month.

I actually ended up starting with 0 autograph tickets, then:
-buying a madson for 5 bucks,
-trading a guy some 8x10s for tickets to gload and blanton
-traded a chooch certified auto for a hamels ticket (the lady and her kids wanted chooch but he was in the photo booth not signing).
-then I made a series of trades madson for polanco, polanco for victorino, victorino for rollins, rollins for utley (Utley was my #1 need last year)
-That left me with Utley, Hamels, Blanton
-finally I entered the Cliff Lee line at the end of the night for 10 bucks and got him too

So I got a little lucky for sure with my trades, but I had a great time. AND I got 3 of the 5 guys on my treasured "Aces" SI, something I daresay I wouldn't have gotten done without you.

Anyways, just thought you'd want the whole story, to make my thank you more meaningful. Sorry I was an ingrate and forgot it was you.

I think we could have a pretty solid SCF contingent going.

he's done several over the last couple of years: carls, granite run, billys all come to mind. you are looking at about $50 per
