I went to Tigers Fest today. Very cold, and to many minor league players imho, but still a good time. Wish I would have brought extra money! They had some really sweet game used items for pretty cheap! Polanco uncracked game bat for $80, Magglio for $100, Pudge for $100 just to name a few. Anyway, I paid for myself and 3 others to go with me so I could get as many autos as possible. Here are scans of the guys I got:

Had a team ball from 2008 TigersFest. It had Jim Leyland on Sweet Spot, also had Gene Lamont, Andy Van Slyke, Jeremy Bonderman, Clay Rapada on it. Today I added to it. Brennan Boesch, Audy Ciriaco, Brent Dlugach, Bobby Seay, Ryan Strieby, and Jacob Turner. Pretty much made it a single A Erie ball!

Then I got JAcob Turner on a Sweet Spot. I was told he was the 9th overall pick in the draft out of High School. I trust Dave Dombrowski's judgement since he usually drafts great pitchers!

Got Brandon Inge on a Sweet Spot. VERY popular in Detroit!

Got my first UD Masterpieces auto. Hopefully first of many!

And I added to my Allen Gionter auto collection.

And got 4 copies of this card:

All in all a little disappointed about having 4 people waiting in lines for 6 hours and having Inge be the biggest auto, but knocked out some needs.

Also picked up thes in trades here, and ebay over the last couple of days:

Looks like a great haul, especially considering some of the horror stories I've heard of previous Tigerfests. Even though you didn't get any of the big names, knocking 6 A&G off of the sets seems pretty good, considering the unpredictability of the signing groups.

Yeah, that is the thing. There are very few players that have A&G carads, so getting the 4 Dontrelle's, the Scherzer and the Inge was big. I happen to like the Masterpieces signed! Not as much as the A&G, but it is my second favorite set for autos.
