Just curious when everyone thinks prices will go out for WWU. I thought they had a chance to be out by now, because unlike last year we don't have to wait to see if a big free agent was going to re-sign or head to CA.

I would hope sometime this week since the auto tickets go on sale Dec. 19. They may not have the signing days and times until a couple of weeks before the WWU.

I am in the same boat. My daughter's birthday is also on the first day of WWU. She will be 8 and loves going to caravans, but I do not think she would like the waiting in lines at WWU. Hope the guys I want will be Sunday or Monday signers. Craig, Wainwright, Carpenter, and maybe Yadi will be my focus this year.

Those are long lines to wait in. My main focus is getting a GU Furcal bat signed, and I would like to get some of the young guys. This is my 3rd year going, how long have you been going to WWU?

This will be my fourth in a row, the first time I will not have to pay for tickets myself. My mother in law bought them as a xmas gift. Will be nice to have some extra money to spend on autos. I try to get the young guys at caravans or minor league games. Had great luck with Taveras and Wong this year in Springfield.

It's kind of hard to believe but this will be my ninth in a row. I went to my first one when I was 15 with my grandfather and I've been to every one since.
I have a few jerseys I would like to get signed, but the biggest things I want to get signed are my Matt Holliday batting helmet from the 2011 World Series and my Trevor Rosenthal workout jersey from spring training last season.
Of course my favorite part of WWU is getting there early to get in the Team Store on the first day.

That's an awesome Christmas gift. My Christmas gift this year from my mom is going to be an autograph Holliday ticket. Nine in a row I'm jealous. The Holliday helmet would be awesome to get signed. How is the team store? I have never been there that early

Can't go wrong with a Holliday auto. This will be the first year I plan on spending a lot on the autos. Other than a $15 Lance Lynn auto last year, I have never paid for any of the autos.

That was a good purchase last year. Lynn will most likely be more this year since he was an all star. I love seeing which of the former Cardinals will be there, you usually can give them at a good price. Brian Jordan is one of my favorite Cardinals of all time.

I like the mid 1990s guys to. Ray Lankford is my favorite player. For $5-10 per auto, you cannot go wrong.

Yeah I agree. I bought a GU bat of his with the idea of getting it signed at WWU

I was able to get in a little after 9 this morning. Other than the system only allowing me to check out with 1 auto at a time, it was pretty simple. Thought about getting Freese and Yadi to resell, but did not. Ended up with Chris Carpenter, Matt Holliday, Allen Craig, Oscar Taveras, Matt Adams, Mitchell Boggs, Jake Westbrook, and Scrabble.

That's is a nice haul. We almost thought the same way. I got a Holliday, Carpenter, (2) Craig's, (2) Taveras, Adams, Rosenthal, Wacha. My doubles are for Christmas presents
