2015 Twinsfest
Well, I haven't been to one of these events since 2008 (or posted here in about that timeframe). At the 2008 Autograph Party (I think...it's been awhile...memory is getting rusty), I picked up a GU Torii Hunter bat for what I recall being a pretty good price (since he had just ditched to team... -

A few minor additions to my HOF Auto Collection...
Thanks everyone. Great to see some old faces! You know, I pulled the slab from the display, read it, got sidetracked and have completely forgotten. I know it was for a dress shop in Manhatten. But, I'm getting old, and my memory is fading. I'll take a look tonight... -

A few minor additions to my HOF Auto Collection...
Thanks guys. Been a long time, and I really have not been active buying or selling. Been years since I went to TwinsFest as well. I have most of the key pieces of my collection on display in my home office. Always wanted a Ruth and it bugged me to this day that I didn't have one. So, I saved up... -

HOF announcement in a couple of minutes
Sigh... Shoeless Joe was banned from baseball. But this did not exclude him from the baseball HOF. He was on the initial HOF ballot in 1936 and got 2 votes out of 226 ballots cast (0.9%) and fell off the ballot because he didn't make the 5% cutoff. In 1991, the HOF voted to officially exclude... -

Is Topps always this incompetent with redemptions?
I re-read my initial post and realised that I forgot the most important part. They sent me a Scott Elbert auto as a replacement for the Rios card that I never redeemed. -

Best Autos in Baseball
A few that come to mind... Roy Campenella's pre-accident auto is a thing of beauty as well. -

Is Topps always this incompetent with redemptions?
Hello all. Some old-timers may remember me. Haven't collected in ages (but have kept my collection intact-see sig) but I have bought a few blasters of 2010 Topps 206 (kept pulling on-card autos so I kept buying...I had forgetten the addiction of ripping wax). Anyways, I pulled a redemption for... -

Twins PRE-Game show to start at...2am???
Just heard this at the end of the Twins telecast. Tomorrow is the first regular season game at Target Field. Yes, this is a big day for Baseball in Minnesota. Yes, I'm excited. But a 13 hour long pre-game show? Seriously? The Super-Bowl pre-game isn't that long. Checked the schedule...slightly... -

A Call For Opinion regarding On Card Autographs.
I don't rip wax. I buy what I want off the secondary market. So, none of those issues affect me in the slightest... -

A Call For Opinion regarding On Card Autographs.
For me, just another band-aid. Cuts of deceased players, different story. -

A Call For Opinion regarding On Card Autographs.
There is. I stopped buying. When companies charge $100+ per pack (forgive my ignorance...haven't been in a card shop in ages), then they can co-ordinate some stuff. They need to figure out their release schedule in advance and design/print the auto cards first. Don't see why thats so hard when... -

A Call For Opinion regarding On Card Autographs.
I stopped collecting because I only wanted on card autographs, and they were no longer being produced. I guess that's a compromise. For the price of cards today, they should be able to give us a quality product. For me, this just looks better... That said, I do have a bunch of Sweet Spot... -

Compact fluorescent lamp and Autographs...
In 2012, old-fashioned incandescent bulbs will start being phased out in the US, with all 40-100W incandescent bulbs being banned by 2014. The idea is that this is more eco-friendly. I'm not posting to make a "green" debate. I am posting because I am concerned about how this will affect my... -

Green Diamond - Ted Williams autographs
Yep. But, if my memory is correct, his son is responsible for a large number of the fakes on the marketplace. I would recomend extreme caution in buying any Williams auto...
