Anyone going to the tristar show in San Fran?

[CollectorsCorner]

Just bought my plane ticket at $100 higher than I could have gotten it for last week (stupid not making up my mind)

This will be my first "big" show experience.

I'm not too far but I doubt I'll go, those autograph prices are insane

 

[CollectorsCorner]

Hopefully the card prices arent

Man, should be great, SF is a real fun place to visit...

Looked at the site and the advance ticket price is $10, but has a handling fee of $5. I suppose it's a deal if the day of tickets are $16 or more. WTF does is cost $5 to process an order?

Yup I'll be there.. Been pretty excited the last couple weeks and having a hard time waiting. I rarely get out to shows and even more rarely have a large amount to spend but I have been penny pinching and saving whatever I can over the last couple months so I will be able to go out there loaded for once.

I was interested in a few autos but they are VERY expensive and I will not be getting any from the people signing, although I did want Tyson but I can get a nice certified one, possibly even with a piece of his glove for about that price. hope I have luck picking up tons of autos from vendors/tables though.

Plan on going Friday afternoon.. Don't think I'll make it back out during the weekend. Other than missing the signers, do you guys think there's any real downside to only going on Friday?

I would think that would be the best day to go. With no signers there would probably be less people, only downside I could see is dealers less likely to haggle as much Friday vs Sunday

I will be there Friday at dealer time through close and all day Saturday

Flying solo?

I might find my way up there to check it out. I'm in the market for some '53 Bowman Color slabs, but I'm not sure that'll be a good deal there.

I'll be there on Friday - it's the best day in my opinion to pick up cards and trade.

I am flying solo I suppose. I am meeting up with a couple friends down there that are setting up.

If anyone who is going happen to be also be stoners or rap fans, HempCon is also going on the same dates as the TriStar show at the Cow Palace and will feature performances from Too Short, Baby Bash, and Paul Wall.

Wouldn't be surprised if Berner showed up too.

OK, I was wondering y Lincecum wasn't signing at the TriStar show but that explains it

Tomorrow is the day! If all goes well with my flight and ride I will be shopping in 21 hours!
