Pens ROOT Sports Auction/Duffle Bags

[PensHckyFan79]

I think they did this last year too and sold out before the end of the 1st period if I remember.

A total of 2,200 Penguins Auction Prize Bags will be available for purchase while supplies last - 2,000 online at http://www.pittsburghpenguins.com, and 200 at CONSOL Energy Center for ticket holders.

Did anyone do this last year? Is it work $250?

EDIT: better link http://penguins.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=76550

From the page:

Each Bag contains:

(1) Duffle Bag
(1) Autographed Puck from a current Penguins player
(1) Mario Lemieux “66” T-shirt
(1) Penguins Baseball Hat
(1) Penguins Yearbook
(1) Penguins Autograph Book
(1) In the Room DVD
(1) Penguins Media Guide
Mystery Item (ONE of the following):
Autographed jersey* from a current Penguins player or Mario Lemieux
Mario Lemieux or Bryan Trottier autographed puck with wooden puck stand and engraved plaque with Hall of Fame induction year
Civic Arena Ornament

*125 randomly selected Penguins Charity Prize Bags will contain an autographed Jersey as the special mystery item.


So it sounds like 125 of the bags are worth over $250 and 1875 of them are worth around $75 at best.

We loved our duffel bag last year. We didn't get the jersey, but our puck was signed by none other than Le Magnifique himself (an extremely pleasant surprise). Got a bunch of other cool goodies, really liked the melted Mellon Arena water, complete with the specks of rubber and dirt. Definitely both something we will cherish.

I bought one...there were some nice things inside. My autograph was Craig F'n Adams

[relantel]

I think we may have to get one. Just hope to be home in time.

I would assume most that buy these don't really care what's inside, that they do it for charity, and if they end up getting something really awesome, IE something signed by Sid or Mario or Geno etc, they look at it as icing on the cake.

If i get home in time, I will be buying one of these. A jersey would be nice... Could always use another to wear to the bars.

This statement to a T.

[relantel]

I got one. Just have to wait 7-10 days to find out what the mystery item was.

[Stevens25]

Apparently I had 34.90 on my paypal account, news to me, so it only cost me $215.10 than I don't really have. Gonna have to watch the next 2 games at home to balance this one out.

These should have been free to season ticket holders.....

[jwest21]

I got a rock....er, Tyler Kennedy's autograph

[OutofFoil]

We got an Engelland signed puck, and another signed puck by 66. Good haul for a good cause.

For those of us who missed out on the bags, post photos of said cool items.

[Stevens25]

They said 7-10 days for delivery when I ordered it. So we're looking at Next tuesday at the earliest. my phone takes pictures as well as a potato, but I will attempt to upload pictures

How many of these will it take to get Chara?

[relantel]

Got a Fedex shipment notification email toady - picked up 3pm hour in Pittsburgh. Probably Monday delivery.

[relantel]

checked tracking later tonight - shows tomorrow as estimated delivery. Not too shabby for ground (and being in VA)

[FreeCandy44]

Definitely fill us in.

[relantel]

Fedex says its delivered already.... So now I get to wait until I get home to find out what the mystery was!

EDIT: And hope it is still on the porch when I get home.
(Had a UPS package stolen off the porch in October 2006 - had a white Malkin jersey in it)
