Not the best, but it will do. This defiantly saved the day at TigerFest.

The early entry passes were a waste. I got in there at :10 then waited in a line. It was Avila and Brookens, which was a waste. Switched..and... Al Alburquerque?!?! Really? One guy and it was a AAAA guy? ::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::

Next line was Worth, Perry.. Didn't need

Then it was Inge and Oliver which I got 1/1 Inge on his replica glove and a card for Oliver (who was surprisingly nice BTW).

Lastly I went to the kids line (I'm 16 but look younger) and got Jackson. It was really short. Should of thought about it before. 3 rows of lines and Jackson was there but he had only 15 minutes left. He was nice enough to sign for everyone there even though he did go over the time. He signed his debut ticket (5x7) and put MLB debut.

Any ideas on how to frame this? It's a little over 5x7... Maybe a 8x10 frame?

Also came home to this....

I went for the last few years to Tigerfest, but after last year I told myself I wouldn't do it again. And, I'm glad I made that choice.

The event is run poorly, you are out in the cold all day(unless you are in the 1 or 2 areas that are "inside", and you are standing on concrete for 8 hours-which gets old fast.

It's just pretty bad-and you never know who you will get, which is stupid. You should be able to go and wait for Justin Verlander for 5 hours, if you really want to.

That AJax stub is sweet, I have one of those too-but not a season tix one-just a plain stub type of ticket.

That is a great looking Austin Jackson. His IP autographs look like they should be on certified cards, and vice versa.

That sounds like A-Jax. I have met him several times and all that guy does is sign. I am sure he is different now, but that does not surprise me that he won't over the time limit lol. That is one nice ticket stub you got there. :)

I've gotten him before and it was just like the ones on his certified auto's. I think I got his good auto because 1. It was a sit-down signing, 2. It was a cool item.

Also, thanks everyone.

How much did the Castellanos Green set you back?

I payed 60 for it. The foil on the bottom (as you can kinda tell in the scan) sucks but it's for my personal collection, and I honestly don't care for those little things even though everyone else does.

You could have Beckett grade it and slab it for you. I plan on doing that with my Lincecum debut ticket.
