I haven't but it's right around the corner from my office. Driven past it multiple times. Is it better than your average card store or something?

If you do make the trip, I'm going with you and we're getting drinks afterward.

It's honestly one of the best in the United States. Their online store is basically THE place to buy cards. I will absolutely go with you and get drinks after wards. I'm going to have tons of fucking time on my hands this summer. I've already got 31 hours of comp since last thursday and it's only going to get worse. |

www.mlb.com/pirates/fans/piratesfest-The kids and I already have current team sets for autos and I just purchased some cards for some of the alumni...Sid Bream, John Smiley, Bill Madlock and I found a card that has both Hebner and Oliver. A small part of me wants an Atlanta Braves Sid Bream card...for the ironing.

I didn't even realize at first but that Hebner/Oliver card is an RC.

I got myself a nice Vlad patch/auto a while back and a triple auto card with Alymedes Diaz/Matt Carpenter/Stephen Piscotty
Little did I know that two of them would be off the Cardinals that off season.

I have Ozzie's auto on a hat.
My dad was on the same plane as him and got it when they were in between stops. Said he was a nice dude.

Cards are a pretty solid gift.
20 bucks can get you a lot.
I sold a Orlando Arcia card I pulled from a blaster box of Bowman ($20) for $180.

Holy smokes those autograph sessions for Piratesfest sold out quicker than a 2009 Phish show. I was lucky to grab one for the Taillon/Kingham/Brubaker session.
I realized I don't have a Brubaker card, so I'm on ebay now.
