As we have already emphasized in our latest Gateway Newsletter, Gateway is on a serious mission to raise serious cash. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT ALL THE SECTIONS ON THIS WEBSITE FOR MANY GREAT COMMEMORATIVES. To stimulate activity during our time in Texas, and to help you “catch up,” we are perfectly willing to extend the discounts offered last winter. It was those robust sales during that period that enabled us to reach out for Roger Clemens at a time we otherwise could not have. Another period of liquidating tied up inventory will enable us to do the same with other older projects. Because the following discounts do not apply to new issues of the last few years, now would be the perfect time to fill in some of the hefty autographs we’ve acquired for you. Maybe you have wondered why certain titles come up in black, others in blue, and others in green. It all has to do with how long we have had those products in stock and what price levels they may have reached due to market conditions. As you know, Gateway is ALWAYS the fair price leader in this industry, and you will find some remarkable bargains up and down our product lists, based on our stated policy of attempting to make the entire Gateway collection affordable to all who wish to add to it. As time goes on, we find ourselves with product in stock that needs to move out. Such is today.

Here are the discounts you can receive. The BLACK issues are the oldest issues, where discounts can go up to 30%. There are NO discounts on the issues listed in the May 2010 Newsletter and Showgard Albums. You can take the following discounts from anything on our website COLORED BLACK. Here is the discount breakdown: $300 - $600 (minimum 3 items) - take a 10% discount; $601 - $900 (minimum 3 items) - take a 15% discount; $901 - $1500 (minimum 3 items) - take a 20% discount; $1501 - $2250 (minimum 3 items) - take a 25% discount; $2251 and up (minimum 3 items) - take a 30% discount.

Place your order on our website by filling out all the information on the SHOPPING CART. When we receive your order Rose will confirm the order with the correct discounts to be applied and the total amount applied to your credit card. You can also choose the items you want by adding them to the shopping cart, then printing the page, subtracting the discounts and sending a check or money order by mail. Remember to check out the ALL STAR, SOLD OUT, BASKETBALL, HOCKEY, FOOTBALL, AND WORLD SERIES catalogs since they contain great autographs not offered in the BASEBALL catalog. Remember also, many All-Star and World Series participants get there as a pathway to the Hall of Fame. We at Gateway anticipate those possibilities when acquiring All-Star and World Series autographs, and by looking back over our 33 years of production history, our anticipation has been pretty good.

Some of the tantalizing names you will find our website includes many great deceased players that you will never be able to acquire at better prices. When Robin Roberts & Ernie Harwell passed away we did not increase the prices in our catalog. You can find these and many others such as Eddie Mathews, Larry Doby, Ray Dandrige, Johnny Mize and even a few Ted Williams!! There are also many great football, hockey, and basketball players that can be added to your collection at very low prices even before any discounts. Take a few minutes and see what you may have missed and would like to add right now!! There are several issues such as Eddie Mathews, Bill Walton, Bill Russell, John Wooden, Kirk Gibson (Fantastic Home Run To Win Game 1 Of The 1989 World Series), Lou Boudreau/Ken Keltner 50th Anniversary Of Ending Joe DiMaggio's Streak, Andre Dawson 400 Home Runs, Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman, Franco Harris, Howie Long, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Steve Young and many more. You can also find some GREAT issues in the SOLD OUT Catalog such as Charlie Gerhringer, Early Wynn, Bill Dickey, Whitey Ford, Lefty Gomez, Jim “Catfish” Hunter, Warren Spahn, Bill Terry, Joe Sewell, Mario Lemiuex, Gordie Howe, Brett Hull, and many, many more At Great Price BEFORE The Discounts!!!

To order any of these special offers, please go to the website and order from there, OR write down you list and either call it in or fax it. Remember that NO NEW ISSUES in the MAY 2010 NEWSLETTER ARE INCLUDED IN THIS SALE EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY RECEIVE THE NEWSLETTER IN BLACK. Please remember that NO ISSUES IN GREEN are part of the sale. Rose will take the appropriate discounts off the web orders and let you know what your charge will be to your credit card.

Thank you for your time and get comfortable before you sit down to go through our Website. Also, remember the WHAT’S NEW CATALOG always lists the newest offerings first and then the issues offer in the last newsletter before going into the alphabetical listing. I will be working on getting everything done for your ease but it may be after the delivery I will start tomorrow and while I am in Ohio.
