Fan Packs
|
|
Fan Packs are usually made up of promotional items such as pocket schedules, stickers, pictures etc, although I've also received things such as bobbleheads, hats, t-shirts, video tapes, and even autographs.
You can request Fan Packs by: 1)writting to a team and requesting one. 2)contacting a team through email and requesting one.
I first started requesting Fan Packs around 2003 and usually send 1 or 2 requests per team, at the beginning and end of every season. (When teams are clearing out items from the previous season)
It would take up too much space to list every little thing I've ever gotten from teams so if you would like to know exactly what I got in a Fan Pack from a specific team, Email me and ask.
Below is a list of teams I've recieved fan packs from over the years.
