  Did Mounted memories sell out? Looks like the website moves towards a Florida based company called Fanatics Authentic..Its kind of a weak website and absolutely NO info on upcoming shows!

  Fanactics bought Mounted Memories in 2012, I believe. The show information for MM is under MM-Shows LLC.

  Fancy new website, and it looks like new show locations. I don't see Richmond listed anymore, but it looks like upcoming shows in Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.
  
  
  
  In the Chicago show lineup they listed numerous athletes as exclusive as well.
  
  
  
  Looks like big changes.....

  The Richmond show was, IMO, a real dud. You were there, you saw the lines. Very limited action. And the vendors didn't appear to be getting any traction whatsoever. Doesn't surprise me that was a one and done.
  
  
  
  Baltimore and Philly, trying to stay on the East Coast...I like that move.

  You are absolutely right. It was not the best show, but it was not in the best location, and it was advertised very poorly. The wedding convention that was going on in the same building was advertised much better than that was. That is a part of town that is often avoided, for many different reasons.
  
  
  
  for a smaller show, they brought in very strong names.....Jim Brown, Dr. J, Ray Lewis, John Riggins, Jack Youngblood, Reggie Jackson, etc. The free Redskins on Friday was awesome.
  
  
  
  I was hoping they would come back to Richmond, but use a much more inviting venue, such as the raceway complex. Easier to get in and out of, and there are many events that are held there with much success.
  
  
  
  I do like that they are trying to stay on the east coast with Baltimore and Philly shows.

  I also like the thought of these shows coming to Philly, Baltimore and don't forget Boston. These are all good markets. Tri Star, at one time, ran shows consistently in the Boston area and did well. They stopped only after they were no longer bringing in guests that were good draws. Baltimore and Philly markets speak for themselves. The Philly shows never made it because of the poor lineup and lack of advertising. Mounted Memories won't have a problem with talent in their lineups, so we should all look forward to these shows.

  Wow Reed was $50 2 weeks ago any item free inscriptions

  It is refreshing to see a newly elected Hall of Famer offering a Free HOF inscription. This should be something they would want to put with their signature.

• Fanatics Authentic

  armydad101 > 04-15-2014, 02:57 PM

  Ray Guy had a free inscription at CSA this past show as well.
  
  
  
  I am always quicker to buy tickets for guys who offer a free inscription before the ones who don't. A guy like Randal McDaniel has an inscription few and Dan Dierdorf doesn't? I would think if someone was charging an inscription fee Dierdorf would be the guy to command it.
  
  
  
  Having said that, I hope Dierdorf doesn't cancel in July!

  Did anyone make the Boston show?

• Fanatics Authentic

  stabilio > 05-18-2014, 11:27 AM

  I considered making the trip for this show based on the guest list - until they released the pricing. There were probably 10 guests I was interested in. But only 2 after I factored in the pricing. And those 2 were scheduled for different days. Made it a non-decision for me.
  
  
  
  Their Chicago show was never a consideration for me to attend but their pricing eliminated any chance of me doing mail order for that one - I think I had interest in even more guests at that show.
  
  
  
  Haven't heard good reports on attendance from either of these shows and quite frankly I hope they fail miserably until they adjust their prices. Seems they have the MAB model in place (obviously they are somehow linked with this new Fanatics ownership), where a pulse is all it takes to merit you a $29 autograph ticket price. The only guests they have that are less ($19) are the ones that typically sign for free at any other appearances they make. And all of the HOF or other "show regular" guests are at premiums over other shows. Doubt I'll ever be a customer for this promoter.

  hmmmmm....$ 29 price is something to complain about?...really?....wish everyone I ever go to see was $ 29.....lol..I'll report back as to how the chicago show is...but in my opinion...prices are not out of the ordinary

  They had a good number of autograph guests that were far from big names in the $25 to $29 range that have been fairly frequent signers elsewhere in the $10 to $12 range -- guests like Tommy Harper, Jim Lonborg, Ken Hodge, Steve Grogan, Rico Petrocelli. To me, $29 for Jim Lonborg was a bigger surprise than $199 for a big name like David Ortiz afer his World Series win.
