Not sure how many people on this website are from the Pittsburgh area....but here is the annual winter caravan. I am going to hit the autograph session in New Castle on the 30th (as I do every year) and I may make it to the Steubenville mall signing also.

I would be interested in any of the signed Pirates postcards that the players give out while signing the other items if anyone goes and gets extra.

Also...is anyone going to Piratefest this year?

If anyone is going I have cards on these guys I could use help with in a 50/50. Sepcifically Torres, Walk, Whener, Wilson and Duke.

I can't do any of those...but if you have some extra Gonzalez, Jose Bautista, or Matt Capps.....I might be able to help out.
