I went with my son and a friend to the NFL Experience on Saturday. Crowds were large, but not that bad. Lines for all the games (field goal kicking, passing etc...) were 20-30 minutes. The prices in the NFL store were outrageous. $43 for a Steelers T-Shirt, no I don't think so. The card show was billed as the biggest football card show ever, which is the biggest overstatement ever. There were probably only 20 dealers there total though some of the dealers had a huge amount of stuff! Deals could be had. I picked up a sweet Steelers Mini Helmet signed by Bradshaw, Noll, Swann, Stallworth, and Greene for my PC. Also pulled a 1/1 Autographed Hines Ward Printing plate out of Playoff Black box.
I also bought a Donruss Super Bowl Factory set which each card is numbered out of /250. I broke them up as team sets for Ebay. (If anyone is looking for anything special let me know)

The funniest thing was the autograph guests. All they had were Bucs players with the best being Derrick Brooks. The lines were pretty long. I brought my HOF helmet and picked up a white panel football but there wasn't anyone worth standing in line for IMO. I've got the whole week off and plan to hit a couple of golf tournaments as well as a few free signings. Also my son and I are doing a Bowling tournament for charity on Thursday. The initial list shows 30 Hall of Famers...I hope that's true. I will report on the results with pics if possible. On Friday the Gridiron Greats are having a signing at the Seminole Hard Rock casino. More $$ to spend, but I need a few of the Hall of Famers there too. All in all it should be a fun week.

Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
cards. At this event they won't get that...hardly seems worth it.
