    I got on line yesterday at 1135, it was about half a block away. No more than 125 peoplle. Things moved on-time but it took two hours to get to the store. The setup was amazing once you got in but we could see plenty of flippers coming and going.
    I saw one guy leave with 11 poster tubes and no idea if they had multiple in each. Stacks of pennants going and letterman coat sold out one hour in.
    But not everyone was flippers, just a few. Most people were there to buy stuff for them or a friend coming later.
    By the time I got there, two hours later, everything was restocked and I got everything I wanted: posters, shirts, stickers and cards, and even a letterman for a friend (looks great btw, authentic stitching on back and cool patches on arms). Only a couple lack of sized, that's it. No hassles once we got in.
    Delays were mainly due to people getting in there being overwhelmed with options and/or buying multiple options for friends, but I understand it's nerve wracking in the moment, feel pressure after waiting so long. But some of it was: let me try that on, see that one again...oh,no, the other one. No 2xl? Ok XL? That sticker that Cards Etc.
    I had a list and was only getting stuff I wanted.
    It'll be crazy wait times this weekend but at least they'll have multiple stands. I would guess whatever supply they have by Sunday maybe limited that day.
    Good luck!
    Ps: it's crazy to pay fir anything marked up online right not unless you're really that lazy, but don't support that instead.

    I thought yesterday someone said the limit was 2 packs per person OR you could still buy a whole box. Just not more than 2 individual packs. Could be wrong though.

    Good to know... thanks for the report.

    How's the fit on the letterman hoodie?

    Hoodie fit great. They were out of the larger sizes by the time I got there and got an XL and whike it's not for me it fits like a real letterman or heavy hoodie.

    For those that attended the 1st day of Fenway Park merch shopping, did everyone come out happy?

    Definitely. Would've loved some cards and the Mark5 poster, but got enough other stuff to scratch the itch. As much as I dig the posters, that Old Timer t-shirt is my favorite design.

    They're pretty cool if you were a baseball card collector. Design is modeled after the '91 Topps set. The packs and box art are similar to that era, too.

    I will say, though, that anyone dropping serious loot on the secondary market will likely be hit with some buyer's remorse. Once you tear into those packs and have a stack of sorted cards, I think 1k+ is gonna be a tough pill to swallow.

    I would really love that Thomas poster.

    If anyone can pick one up for me, I will trade both the 2016 MSG 1 owl poster and the 2016 TOR 2 Blue Jay poster straight up.

    No cash, these two for the Steve Thomas Fenway poster. My two posters are in mint condition, I would expect the same for the Thomas.

    I live in the Boston area and could meet Sunday afternoon at the show or any day next week.

    Pm if interested.
