Man is Jim Rice cashing in. Nobody is going to need him post-induction.

On the other hand, Rickey has been mostly MIA.

Yeah I saw Jack Berke Shows has him but the prices are high as you would expect. Anything other than a flat or baseball is skyhigh. I don't think these promoters like Schwartz, Tristar, MAB, or CSA want to risk the financial bloodbath from Rickey's guarantee in this economy. BY the way MAB is advertising Rickey baseballs for $99. That's a great price

Here's the only Rickey appearance scheduled for the foreseeable future:

Rickey's still being Rickey. Otherwise, the rest of the show has a great lineup. A free Tommy John auto with paid admission is a great deal for anyone in the area.

You want a great price -- how about Jim Rice autographed 8*10 photos for $9.50 each ? Sure Shot Promotions - Memorabilia (a very reputable company) has them for that. Why pay the $59 or so they're charging now, plus probably a $5 for the photo ? I just bought 20 myself today.

Sure beats the $69 you'd pay for a Jason Bay 8x10!

I'm tremendously excited!!! I just got the okay from the wife to book us a room at the Hilton Americas from June 25th-28th, so I'll be at the Tri-Star show that weekend!! We're also gonna go to the Astros/Tigers game Friday night. It's considered our anniversary trip because our anniversary is the following weekend. I'll have to treat her to a shopping trip while we're down there to justify my "hobby weekend." I can't wait!

sweet, I need Robinson and Williams. I'm really considering getting Ripken on a jersey in addition to a baseball, wonder how much he'll cost?
