And Twins! (The Twins talk and pick-up thread).

[Musial Collector]

I know its kinda late in the season, but do any of you Twins/Minnesota Team fans want to do a Secret Santa thingy?
Keep it to the posters in this thread, maybe limit to the first 12-15 that post they want to participate?
If so, we can then agree upon eBay value range (thinking $25-50?) and when we would have to mail by (Jan 15th?, that gives a month to do your buying/trading). Then everyone can submit their info to me (by Friday Dec 14th?), I will do the random drawing and send the secret santa info to each party via PM.

If we do so this, Rule number #1 will be, if you eff someone over by NOT holding up your end of the agreement by sending, I will request that you are banned from this site forever. This secret santa is not about seeing what you can get for nothing, this is for a bunch of guys/friends/common themed collectors to help each other out and enjoy a great holiday season. There will be no pissing, moaning, XXXXXing, whining, this will be for fun so please keep it that way. I believe in Karma, so if you eff with Karma, Karma will come back and eff you!!! ;-)

Thoughts?

Totally understand Zach, just a thought though, you could try and trade for wanted items too, its not strictly about buying. Just didnt want you to be totally left out if you didnt consider this angle.

 

[clarkzac]

I'm all out of tradebait :lol: sold the good stuff to pay for Christmas gifts lol

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I'd do it, but I can't afford it either.

Otherwise, I'd love to participate.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

I'm in.

 

[wolfmanalfredo]

I'm already picking up a few things if it happens or not. If we can't get enough people, probably do some Twins thread giveaways

Worst case Andy, Ill jump in and you me and Greg can just do it, would be fun IMO even if it was just the three of us and we knew who each other had

Mail that was waiting for me when I got home from school today

Mail that I had waiting for me today when I got home. I also got in 9 2012 Ginter minis for my set and 3 2008 Ginter cards for that set as well. Here's today's goods-

Non-PC- Ian Kinsler RC auto

PC mailday- The Mauer Tribute suffered from autocrop. The Span auto is my 30th card auto, 29th that is recognized by Beckett(his Etopps auto isn't recognized)

And now the second favorite piece in my collection! It's listed as "Game Issued" but it has some wear and a lot of Twins stuff is listed as Game Issued. I'll quit with the rambling now :lol:

Denard Span "Game Issued" hat

 

[Lally1]

Nice stuff! Good to see you guys still picking his stuff up

 

[clarkzac]

I plan to keep picking up his stuff. I'll be more willing to go for the Twins cards, but I'll grab his Nats stuff too, even though he looks kinda goofy in the red hat :lol:

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Got some Perkins in today!

Couldn't be happier.

 

[jszczech]

I am trying out a scanner that a friend of mine gave me. Gives me a good chance to show some recent pick ups off.

 

[devin]

sweet jesus love that dual!

 

[wolfmanalfredo]

Kirby's sig on that dual has the perfect oval.

 

[jszczech]

Thanks guys. I am going to start scanning more of my stuff now that I have a working scanner again. Here are a couple more things. I love the 2005 absolute sets.
