Went to the Detroit Pistons crew member party last night they had for season ticket holders. This time, the Detroit Pistons let in the half season ticket holders to this event so I was able to get in. Well from the collectors that I talked to that went to these events before, they mentioned of how they post what player will be at what spot signing autographs in the arena. Of course the one event I go to, they did not have any of that posted this time around. It was a basic guessing game of where the one player you wanted to get would be at. Of course I decided to give this event a go since that I can have a good chance to finally get one player that I have left to get from the 2004 World Champs team and from the team this season. Of course the one player that I am after has most of the crowd at this event going after him to. More to come shortly. Anyhow here are the results:
Pistons Crew Member Party 4/10/07 (Season Ticket Holders only event)
Pistons
Dale Davis 2 cards
Ronald Dupree 1 card
Jason Maxiell 8 cards
AND FINALLY........................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ............
Rasheed Wallace 1 card!!!!! (Holy God did anyone think that I would ever get this jerk ever in my life??? I been after this player for 3 years since the Pistons won the NBA title. I can't believe I managed to get this guy!!! This time he stayed for the entire hour to sign autographs unlike the other event that they had earlier this season where it was reported he only stayed 15 minutes. Yup he was talking only to his family signing away and being his usual self trying to ignore what the fans wanted to say to him. I am very very happy with getting this guy!!! At least the handler of Rasheed items at the Rasheed booth gave him my Blue Sharpie and he did my card in Blue Sharpie. Unlike other situations where people wanted Rasheed to do their basketballs in silver paint pen he just took a black sharpie they gave him and signed it with that. Wow what a jerk and his attitude did carry over to this season ticket holder only signing.)
That is all I have to share result wise with this event. Other stuff I should share; knowing that this is an event for half season-full season ticket holders only I wanted to get the other stars of the team but the problem was that their lines were way to long and plus I got them all before so I was not to worried about having to get them again lol. The longest line obviously was the Rasheed line and just about 75-90% of the crowd at this event just went to have a chance to get his autograph. Luckily I arrived early to this event with the same thing in mind obviously. Once I got in line I met up with a group of collectors that are also season ticket holders to. Once I got talking with this group, I found out most of them were here for the same reasons. So I went into this group of about 5-6 of us and we followed one another to try and find Rasheed. Well we agreed to a spot of where we all thought he may appear at. Well once we all saw signs appear everywhere of what player is there, we saw the Rasheed one. Once we all saw the Rasheed sign, I bolted like a rocket with no hesistation with the group to go and get into his line. Well when we got in his line, they were starting to move people up since the line got crazy for him. luckily they started moving people up and they cut it off right behind us and we all were able to stay. Now 15 minutes passed, and 20 minutes and before we all knew it we all got his auto!!! Rasheed stayed the entire hour but he sure has an attitude about signing. I am looking foward to hearing what all you guys think about me being able to get this jerk since that I have heard plenty of stories about this player in the past. Thanks alot for looking!!!
