Question about caravans, when they go to local schools or hospitals, can you go and get autographs or is it just for the students/patients at those places?

 

[JSG1984]

Its usually private, unless its says open to the public.

I'll be trying to attend one of each section.

 

[mrmain18]

I'm up for a trip to Somerset, Jen. I might be able to make it to the Wheeling stop, but that would be about it.

 

[CorndogPGA]

Can anybody 50/50 any of these events? I've got some set cards I need of some of the guys listed.

 

[mrmain18]

I may be able to take some smaller 50/50s for Piratefest, but not the Caravan sicne I don't know which, if any, stops I will be attending.

 

[sugarcult2]

That sucks that they won't be coming back to Cumberland, MD. That was my stop

 

[JSG1984]

Kevin-

I'm up for Somerset as well, I was also thinking of going to the New Castle, PA and Boardman, OH stops.

Jen

 

[JSG1984]

ps I love the Nady, Sanchez and Morris are nowhere to be found on the tour.

 

[JSG1984]

Im willing to accept Nyjer Morgan 50/50s. I'm at home for Christmas so off the top of my head I'm not sure of cards I have for players. Once I figure that out, I'll post on here, who I'm willing to take for 50/50s.
