Well here's a quick look at most of what I got done at TwinsFest. I got a few guys on a fry helmet from a game that I went to over the summer. If I remember correctly there were 12 autographs on it, with most of them being the minor league guys or guys that have very few cards.


First start, the Allen and Ginter cards. All but two of these were signed at TwinsFest. The Carlos Gomez was a purchase, and it was the last Twins card I needed signed for the 2008 Ginter set. The Monte Irvin was given to me by a buddy who is getting out of collecting signed cards and he knew that I'm a fan of signed Ginter cards, especially the HOFers. And the Twins 2014 Ginter set is complete. Fairly easy with there only being three guys, plus a Killebrew Senators card.



Now the rest of the cards for guys that didn't have Ginter cards. Looked for Heritage cards of most guys that I could. Some of these will be available, but not all.



8x10s-







ROMLB, also got a Jose Berrios on a ball with a Futures Game inscription, but that was for somebody else on here. The Oliva is for somebody on here as well. The Denard Span was part of a trade I worked with a friend that I met up with there






Game Used locker tags. Dozier thought it was really cool that I got it, and that I drove 11 hours to get it signed. I didn't get Phil Hughes done, my sister did for me. She said that he thought it was really cool and asked her where she could get one. I wanted to get it signed myself, and I probably would have told him that I would work a deal with him lol.

Nice haul!

I've picked up several Index cards recently, particularly players that are no longer with us and for some reason I really like them. I don't know if it's the ability to add a little note with a date or years played, something personal that adds to the sig's story or how they just seem to have a vintage/timeless feel to them. In your experiences, are players more or less likely to sign index cards vs. baseball, etc? Just curious as I'm sending some out either way. Particularly for those less common, cup of coffee types
