I have sent email messages to the promoters pleading for decent guests. I even provide a list. I just want a reason to get out of the house and risk my life on the beltway. Granted, there are new collectors that join the autograph side of the hobby each year but if you don't already have Dawson, Boggs or Garvey you are just not trying hard enough. Those three don't move the needle for me. Back in the day of guests selling out, I would preorder tickets but have not preordered in well over a decade. I buy my tickets day of and if the ticket number received is over 100, I say the guest drew okay. I would be surprised if a day of ticket for a flat or ball for Dawson, Boggs or Garvey is over 100. I guess I will have to wait until the October show. Last year, CSA brought in Edgar Martinez, Jim Kaat and Mariano Rivera. Now, those three got me out of the house and I even spent money at dealer tables purchasing a 1958 AS Mantle and a pennant! Come on CSA throw the baseball collectors a bone! Heck, CSA gives the wrestling crew the Undertaker! Baseball gets Dawson, Boggs and Garvey..........ho-hum, bury me undertaker, bury me!
