They did this last month at the Pro Bass Shop in Mobile, Alabama with similar players and it was very hard to get everyone within 30 minutes. I had to go to the dinner to get it. Bo Jackson ,Will Clark, Ryan Klesko where the only people that I didn't see on this list that where in Mobile.

Its organzied but crowded.

I could also use some help from this event.

I need Kevin Brown and Kenny Rogers on card each. Will also pay some $$$ to anyone who wants to help.

19Braves77 - did they do 1 line for everyone or were there several different lines? thanks

Is that the Doug Johnson in the 97 or 98 SP set as a Devil Rays farmhand?

 

[19Braves77]

At the Bass Shop it was lines with one or two at a table and then they add some doing interviews and other activities to raise money.

At the dinner and auction ,it was one celebrity per table and you had to know who you were looking for...

I see they added Ryan Klesko to this also

i was able to mail my card to the event.i got ahold of the guy running the event and asked if it was possible.he told me to send a donation check to the macon rescue mission and he'd make sure he would get my kevin brown card signed.

There was a single line and not all that many people in attendance. Brown and Rogers sat next to each other and were off and on about signing multiples for people. I had to go through the line twice ($20 each time) to get all three of my set cards done by Rogers.
