Is Luke Bard going to be good? I was digging through a case worth of 2012 Bowman Draft and found a red border 1/1 of his.

this is the first year that i don't have anything planned ahead of now for the signings. i need to get some 8x10s, OMLB, Cards. years past ive had my 16x20 of opening day to work on and the 2010 Target Field cards to get done but i am now complete on the current players for both of those projects i really wish i could get a set of the 2009 Metrodome Cards to get those signed. i have a jersey that i have about 10-12 signatures on that i might continue to get that signed. its of mostly of people that i didn't have anything for them to sign when i got to their table. i wonder if there will be more wristband players this year like Molitor and Carew?

I personally dont think that Molitor or Carew would garner enough interest for there to be wristbands
Mauer and Morneau will be it

PMing you on another thing

 

[yrocks2001]

I don't know that there will be enough interest in anyone this year to warrent wristbands except for Mauer. On a side note, Mike Pelfrey will be at Twinsfest according to Dustin Morse, a Twins employee's twitter account

Last year I hit it pretty big with 40+ autos on one day.

Budget is going to be fairly tight this year, so I'll mainly be doing cards on the free line.

I'd also like to see if I can get Perk on something, and I want to get Goltz and Quillici on OMLBs so I don't have to ship them TTM.

I will also bring my Mauer 16x20 on the off chance I get a wristband.

Caravan is where the fun is going to be for me this year it looks like.

 

[devin]

got this today

 

[jtrinaldi]

This year I really have no plan, If they do the wristbands, Ill probably try and get Mauer, otherwise I will be hitting the dealers tables up hard.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I got in a 2007 Topps Turkey Red Glen Perkins GU card.

It's actually my first copy of the card.

Happy New Year Twins fans! Some of you have sen the PM of the Twins Collectors Rolodex in your inbox! Use it for good, not for evil! If you haven't sent me your personal info to add to it, (UMich92, I'm looking at you) Please do, and I'll send out updates.

Just put two and two together on the calendar, and have figured out that I will miss Twinsfest this year because I will be on a trip to Nebraska with my son and his scout troop. I already have my tickets printed! (I get them from my brother, a season ticket holder, so I'm not out any cash.) My wife says she'll have to go for me this year. We'll see if that plays out! So I'm bummed to miss the Hubert's get-together and standing in line for hours. I'll have to live it through your stories. Also saw that Willingham will NOT be coming to Baldwin, Wisconsin for the Caravan later this month. :evil: Looks like DeVries, Hendricks and Blyleven. Have to re-think that trip.

And I got my Gaetti Leaf buybacks in. Will post scans in a bit!

 

[Greg Cleveland]

Guess I need to keep my eye out for a silver/20. Glad there's no autos to hunt for. All the Leaf autos are numbered to a player's uni #, so 8 autos would be scarce!

 

[showoff]

I should be able to help at Twins fest. Looking to take future stat or photofile photos only.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I can't wait for Caravan...

Just need the details.

 

[flightposite]

This one is probably heading to eBay, not a fan of Sweet Spot cards.

 

[jszczech]

Awesome cards Bo. Love the Morneau super.

 

[devin]

love the super now if only i can land one

 

[TBTwinsFan]
