It has been awhile since this thread has been active, hopefully we can get it going again leading up to TwinsFest in January! Haven't been posting many updates with my pickups as I have a Denard Span thread where all of that will go, but here is some of what I've gotten over the past couple months!

I attended a Brian Dozier apperance at the Mall of America towards the end of the season and came away with these!

Also towards the end of the season I went to an Angels vs. Twins game and was able to add Casey Fien to my 2014 Team Yearbook.

Found out last night that Paul Molitor would be appearing at the new Sports Authority downtown today. Came away with these!

Picked up the 1988 Smokey's Fire Prevention Color-Grams featuring the Minnesota Twins on eBay for essentially $6 recently. As a Puckett collector I was excited to cross that one off of my list. It seems it only appears on eBay a handful of times a year, and I probably benefited from a misspelling of "Minnesota" in the auction listing. I'm guessing they're not really that rare, but does anybody know how common it is to find these fully intact? Were they a stadium giveaway, or something sent to schools? Are there many other teams featured in these booklets? (There's an Oakland A's edition featuring Jose Canseco on eBay)

That's really cool! Love that oddball stuff. Now you need to find another one to pull the 2 KPs out to have singles;)

[MENTION=12668]MatthewN[/MENTION] Is that bound together like a book, or are they in individual cards? If they are individual, I would love to buy the Gaetti from you. I have the postcard--detached. would love to add a complete specimen to my Gaetti collection.

Throughout my collecting I've been through a few different scanners, resulting in my PhotoBucket pic's coming in all various sizes and quality. I've begun the tedious process of re-scanning my Santana's in an attempt to spruce it up (better quality scanner that hopefully lasts). Anyone else working on any projects over the winter?

Not many projects going on but I really need to do the same thing you are going to do.

Anyone have any of the clutchfield cards they gave away in September this year? I still need a Puckett.

Through my brother and his season tickets, I got two for Sunday. Still thinking about getting one for Friday. Torii Hunter is a Friday only signer--so far.

Winter Caravan is coming to Eau Claire this year. With Mauer, no less--so far. We'll see if that stays the same.

Hey Twins collectors! I'm new on this forum, but would love to get into the mix. Some of you I might have had contact with on ebay for some Puckett cards. I'm currently working on a twins checklist, and trying to fill in some of my Joe Mauer and Jacque Jones collection. Buying a few Puckett's when I can. Didn't collect for 20 years, but finally got back into it. Looking forward to sharing nice pickups and learning about different Twins cards out there.
