I love big events in sports, especially ones that have an attached fan event. Each year, baseball has the All Star Fan Fest that runs simultaneously with the All Star Game, much like the NFL experience that runs along side the Super Bowl. This is one of the biggest sports memorabilia shows of the year for MLB, and with it, comes a lot of fun giveaways.

Here are some of the more interesting things you can pick up:

2015 Topps All Star Game Chris Sale Die Cut Auto

2015 Topps All Star Game Johnny Bench Commemorative Patch

2015 Topps All Star Game Todd Frazier Fan Fest Set

2015 All Star Game Fan Fest Mr. Redlegs Bobblehead

2015 All Star Game Oyo Minifigure Felix Hernandez

Last year in Minnesota was a big deal for me, as I loved chasing down all the Twins themed items like Bobbleheads, manu-patch cards, and posters. Some of the cards ended up being quite the desirable item. It looks like Topps really wanted to have a repeat performance, as they brought back the card giveaways, and complete sets that have special cards.

Topps Bunt is also getting involved, with All Star themed cards for the next week, some of which are already out for the players participating in the game. There will be dozens of ASG themed releases, which should include player signature cards, legends, and Fan Fest themed sets.

If you are in the Cincy area, I would definitely go check out the show, as it is worth it just to see all the booths that will be set up. From what I saw last year, its more than just cards and memorabilia, it should have some element of All Star History as well.

When you do attend, Ill be happy to get any of the Topps Digital stuff you arent looking to keep! Shoot me a tweet if you would like to make a deal!
