Hey Mollie
Feel better!
Here's a few other names that I think you should consider for Sunday. Let me know what you think of these:
Jim Abbott - only Yankee no hit pitcher to not circulate much Mike Stanton - former relief pitcher of 90s teams Gary Sheffield David Justice Steve Sax Randy Velarde Danny tartabull Chuck Knoblauch
Thanks as always.

Guest,
The thing is MAB has been doing all kinds of different unique things and we are looking to expand into cruises, with different collaborations. Like come sail with the Yankees on a country music cruise with heAdlines, members of the band Alabama. All kinds of things. You have to do the same thing but change it up a little.
It's worked for us and thank God bc of the amazing team I have we grow every year. I love the Yankee show and all jerseys shows but I did so many for so long, I felt like taking five years away and doing two or three a year was the way to go for a while.
BTW, Graeme Lloyd is confirmed for the 28th.

I think Lloyd will do very well. Many 96 piece collectors have been after him for awhile. That is a solid add. Kenny Rogers is another guy that people have been screaming for. GTSM just added Soriano to there football show in April...once again MAB ahead of the bell curve. I got Clemens a few years ago at your show and yes the lines were long...glad he did well. I'd get him again if you bring him back one year.
I'd love to see Mo at a future show. I think his 299 a piece price point aggravates the collectors who have been getting him at a cheaper price points that steiner rolled him out during his prime years but I guess it is what it is.
By now you probably know about the Trout signing going up against the Saturday portion of the show. You might want to stack Sunday with anyone you bet big on.
A few other names to consider
Jose Vizcaino Ryan Thompson Andy Hawkins (Yankee no hit loss)

They sold a 1000'tjckets in one dayb. Son I graham Lloyd for me . That's why I was suggesting Sunday.

Thanks for putting together another great show, Mollie. Hope you feel better!
I know there was talk about A-Rod last year, any chance on getting him on Sunday this year?

I didn't know anything about mike trout. Where is he Its not local - its all the way up north by Lake George. But the prices are terrific and a lot of people are making the trek, myself included. So I won't be in on anything added for Saturday (I would have also liked to have gotten Lloyd but that's life). If anyone I need is added for Sunday, I'll go but so far not enough for me. I would advise not waiting for the HOF announcement to announce any other potential new HOF guests if they are going to be on Saturday. Do what Tristar did with Bagwell and list him in advance noting his appearance will be contingent on election.

I posted a few days ago when someone asked why Griffey doesn't do shows so I will reiterate what I said before. Everyone is throwing out these names of guys they want to see without ever considering that the reason you're not seeing them is they don't want to do signings. Lou you asked for Ichiro. Great choice, I would also love to see him. His net worth - 120 million. Guess what? We ain't gonna see him. Mollie gave us an example that Dick Tidrow won't accept $15.000. The guys that will do shows for a reasonable price are the guys that we've all seen. That's probably another reason why she's not doing as many shows. Only the same guys will do shows and they don't sell. I'm a long time collector going back to the National Pastime shows. I remember a show every weekend, and sometimes going to two shows in one day. Those days are long gone. Many players you have made 100's of millions have done shows who don't need the money obviously . Roger Clemens barry bonds Alex rodriguez david Ortiz doing Chicago this march cole hamles shaq peytsn manning. John elway magic Johnson Most recently Mike trout so don't say we can't see ichiro because of his net worth

Ichiro is exclusive to mill creek sports in seattle. He has not done a public for them and he's been exclusive to them for over a decade. You're certainly not going to see him do a public signing here

You're certainly not going to see him do a public signing here I know chuck that he's mill creeks . That means nothing as far as Mab or Steiner or gtsm from stopping them for bringing ichiro over here. The only player at this time that in my mind that isn't happing anytime soon or maybe ever is Griffey jr. That mother F'er turned down probably some of the most money anyone has ever been offered to sign from every promoter out there and he won't even blink an eye. As far as ichiro he has done multiple private signings, where's Griffey hasn't done anything. So I have faith that ichiro will be out here. Who brings him in will be the question.

BTW, Graeme Lloyd is confirmed for the 28th. Mollie: Glad to hear your feeling better, and glad to see you reading the boards (I was a little skeptical if I am being honest). I'll be coming to the Sunday show for Alomar, Ralph Terry, and Candelaria. I collect Mets, so I always keep me eye open to this show to see who you get you were part of both clubs. I wouldn't object too hard if you were able to get Robin Ventura Since you are down to only a handful of shows locally a year, have you thought about making one a Mets weekend like you do with the Yankees every year. I know Seaver and Mays are done with shows, but you have Piazza, Pedro, Glavine and several current Mets as exclusives. The show you did in November 2015 was great (and the last Jim Hickman show ever, RIP), and I got at least one from almost everyone on the line-up. But it was only the one day. Its been years since you had a two day Met event like the old days, and a lot of the guys 1962-1973 aren't getting any younger. The 1986 Mets have been flogged a bit of late (Steiner and JPRS) but surely a healthy show could be put together without them. How about it Mollie...throw us a bone! Cheers, Jim

John elway magic Johnson Most recently Mike trout so don't say we can't see ichiro because of his net worth You're missing the point. I didn't mean ALL guys making that kind of money won't do shows. My point is if they've never done a show it's obvious they don't need the money and they have no desire to do one. Sure it's possible but unlikely. Why do you think Jeter doesn't do them? He just doesn't want to and probably won't change his mind. Which btw how many of you passed on him when he did his first signing for $7 ?? Yes, seven dollars. He was a Yankee minor leaguer and he did a show for Howell BB Cards. My logic was I'm not paying $7 for a guy that's never played a major league game. Wise choice.
