Phillies Phestival: June 13, 2011

[Skizzick]

I think Stutes, Bastardo, and Kendrick are ROMLB worthy is they are are the best guys you get, which would suck.

 

[BergerKing22784]

A Phillies fan would think that the are worthy but I dont think most of the rest of the collecting community would agree.......

I agree with KenJ, we should add our ticket numbers to the spreadsheet and meet up when they post who is where at the stadium. It will be easier to make trades in person.
As far as things to get signed, cubed ROMLB's are sold in Modells for $12-15. I have picked up mini-helmets in BC Sports and Pro Image in Montgomeryville Mall in Landsdale also, kids like them.
Personally, I get McFarlane Sportspick action figures signed because I collect them and it is different, and the players reactions are classic when they are holding their own action figures to sign.

I was fortunate enough to grab a Halladay ticket and was hoping someone here could explain to me how the photo booth works. Do they print the photo on the spot? What kind of quality is the photo? Do you have the opportunity to get a digital copy? Any info would be appreciated.

 

[rickphils1]

When the photo that was taken is printed, they stick it in a matting that has already been signed by the player/manager in the photo. They don't sign the photo itself. Some apparently have had success getting other items sign but I think that is the exception rather than the rule. If the line is relatively long, they will try to keep it moving and the player will tell you sorry as they make you move out.

Advice for the photo booth: don't go right away. Towards the end of the day, when most people had already gotten theirs taken, both Roy and Cole were signing.

Just went through the whole roster (and DL) with people who I could use and who I absolutey need to get rid of. PM me if you need (in order of perceived value):

1. Placido Polanco
2. Brad Lidge
3. Raul Ibanez
4. Jose Contreras
5. Ryan Madson
6. John Mayberry Jr.
7. Danys Baez
8. Scott Mathieson

I know theres only a few semi-stars on there, but it is what it is. Potential trades that would interest me (trying to make them as fair as possible, no I'm not perfect with matching players values together, but it should be close):

Polanco for Victorino, Hamels, or Oswalt
Lidge or Ibanez for Hamels, Victorino, or Blanton
Contreras or Madson for Romero, Valdez, or Francisco
Mayberry for Orr, Valdez, or Bastardo
Mathieson or Baez for Stutes, Romero, Bastardo, Kendrick, Martinez, Orr, or Gload

Or I could package any of those guys for as many Rollins tickets as possible (need around 3). PM me if any of these players or potential trades interest you.

I would do a Lidge for Victorino or Blanton if you want to do that.

 

[FlaccoFanatic5]

I'm definitely down for that...If you want to PM me your number, I'll mark it down next to his name on the sheet I have with every player and what I need signed by them. I'll send you a text whenever the list gets announced if I have a Lidge (or send a PM on here if it's before the day of the event).

 

[Skizzick]

Ok, I will update this list later but the guys I'd like are:

1. Jimmy Rollins - Absolutely Positively need him and would trade anybody for him
2. Ryan Howard (TBD)
3. Placido Polanco (TBD)
4. Jose Contreras - One of my faves, and would like to have him again.
5. Shane Victorino (TBD)
