  they did this for the 1994? national in St Louis all you have to do is stand to the side and offer $10 for who you want...... plus a lot of people will just trade off who don't give a flip about auto`s .... it`s an east fix to get who you want

  Perfect I'll just keep buying admission tickets until I receive two Bob Lilly tickets. I'm hopeful he will only cost a hundred a ticket.

  Sounds like they may have reached out to a Marketing Consultant.
  
  
  
  Maybe they'll just put a $10 slot machine that spits out tickets at the door...

  They have time to change the promotion...hopefully they understand how silly it is not to let people choose their free signature, as supplies last..then, while not random, some people may have to "settle" for a second choice....
  
  Or, maybe Mollie chats with them...

  I agree but what are you going to do? it does not effect me either way I have someone getting Perry in the back that's allI need ... BUT everyone gets an auto ticket at least 60 % of the people walking in don't care about auto`s ...
  
  
  
  also a spoiler odds are you will not know who the ticket is for until your at the auto area .... most likely will be ticket A = Kingman ticket B = Perry exc exc
  
  
  
  good luck guys

  Richard Petty added by MAB. Slow on announcements, but that should change now that the Hurricanes are over.

  For me to make the trip they need to add dierdorf or slater. CSA October show is weak very disappointing

  Keith Hernandez and Spud Webb Added. I asked MAB if they were thinking about maybe adding Fred Dryer and a few other players who have never done a show in Chicago. They e-mailed me back that those players werent on the list because they just had them recently at another show. MAB is bringing in Joe Greene (3rd time this year at Rosemont, Illinois) Joe Montana (2nd time this year at Rosemont, Illinois) several other players appeared recently at other MAB events, so dont give me this Crap about not bringing in players because you just had them at another show. If you dont want to bring in a player because you dont think they will sell, then say it. I understand you're running a business, as of Right Now this show is Crap. the CSA show doesnt look much better. I hate to say it folks but I think the end of these big shows may be near.

  I completely agree with the end of the large shows are coming to an end. It's basically the same athletes on an autograph circuit. What is the logic of not booking an athlete in different regions of the US? The marketing and thought process within this industry never ceases to amaze me.

  Well guys, it looks like GTSM is gonna be pretty busy over the next year, especially next Spring, just when it seemed like they were leaning towards maybe just doing the NJ Shows (and maybe Santa Clara) going forward.
  
  
  
  They've added 2 small shows focusing on the immediate regions (one in Nashville and the other in Alabama), not for me but something different. The big add seems to be their re-entry into the D.C. area, as they have a show scheduled in Sterling VA, for March 23 - 25.
  
  
  
  Then they've got a show in Houston (likely a small one) April 13 -15 and of course the NJ show April 27 - 29.
  
  
  
  Lastly they have a Santa Clara show August 31 - September 2.

  Its different but all the guests are the same. To reiterate what others said some different guests would be great. Not om player on the gtsm site was a new huge guest. The only player that got me to go dowm to nj last year was randy johnson. They need a name like a george brett to get me excited

  I wouldn't make too much of those guest lists at this point, as I don't think many (if any) are confirmed yet. Unlike most promoters though, at least they give us an idea of who is on their radar several months in advance. It seems Ray Lewis will likely be at least one of their shows next year, which I would say is pretty exciting. But of course he'll be signing in Canton (and likely The National) next year as well for sure. Also, if you look at one of the names list, it seems that Sterling Sharpe is on their radar as well, which is another one you don't see too often (and if Terrrell Davis is HOF worthy then maybe he should be too).
  
  
  
  Needless to say GTSM doesn't do a lot of baseball guests but that might be changing, Their Houston show earlier this month was very Astros heavy. George Brett is probably a long shot though.
  
  
  
  Personally speaking, the chances of myself attending the show in VA are slim to none. I actually like GTSM, but that drive totally sucks, not even so much the distance but the route I have to take. Throw in the fact that the weather could still be in winter mode around that time, and it would take someone REALLY special for me to plan on making that trip.
