2015 Twinsfest

[pander69]

Just got an email announcing ticket sales start tomorrow. Anyone here looking to go? Did you go last year and are changes you would like to see?

Personally I hope they find a better space for the card show portion. That was such a dismal space for it. Also, closer autograph locations would be nice, at least don't put them in the basement.

 

[devin]

i hope to go. i love going to these

 

[hrbek14]

I'll be doing my usual Friday visit. May do more depending on schedule but I doubt it.

 

[pander69]

I always go on Saturday. I know it's the busy day, but if it's like last year, busy is relative.

 

[hrbek14]

I'm expecting it to be busier with guys like Hunter and Vargas there, but we'll see.

 

[AmishDave]

I just can't get motivated enough to go since it's not at the Dome.

 

[pander69]

I wonder if Santana will be there now. Nolasco was supposed to show but missed/skipped his session last year.

 

[pander69]

I just can't get motivated enough to go since it's not at the Dome.

I miss the dome too, made things a lot easier.

Expect Torii Hunter lines to be HUGE. Buxton, Vargas, Mauer, like always will be busy. Maybe Mr. Gordon will be added by Febrary.

 

[hrbek14]

Yep, not planning to get Hunter at this point. We'll see what the schedule looks like but will plan to focus elsewhere.

 

[MrMet]

Can anybody hook me up with Big Pelf?...on a Mets card obviously

 

[Musial Collector]

If you wait until Sunday to get Mauer, you will be able to go thru it multiple times. Last year I got Joe on the 2 items I wanted and then went thru it with a buddy who had a **** ton of stuff to get done and we did (he had 7 items). Joe is losing his mystique at Twinsfest IMO. If anyone collects say the Ginter series of Mauers and needs them done, you will have no problem doing it this next Twinsfest.

 

[UMich92]

I plan to go on Friday as usual. And I may try to go again with the kids either Sat or Sun.

 

[TGutta]

I will likely go on Friday and Saturday again this year, same as last year. Main want is Torii Hunter so I'll try and knock him out on Friday depending on what the schedule looks like. This might be my first year not getting Mauer on anything since I don't need him on anything.

 

[hrbek14]

I mean, yeah. If Hunter is in the first session and can get him early by lining up outside the gate like Buxton/Mauer last year then I'll go for it. If not, I have other priorities.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

I got Hunter on things I wanted/needed before he left, so I'm good there. Looks like I'll be going on Saturday this year for sure, Friday and Sunday are uncertain. I've always loved going Friday night, but my brother's tix will likely be for Saturday. Still may go Friday anyway to case the joint. Hopefully they will improve the location of the card show.

 

[Kid4hof03]

If anyone would be willing to look for Phil Hughes game used items I would really appreciate it. Glad to pay a finders fee to help with your time and effort.

Thanks!

 

[clarkzac]

I'll be going Saturday for sure, and possibly Friday. The two main things that I want to get signed are my game used locker tags of Phil Hughes and Brian Dozier. I still need Mauer and Hunter on quite a few things, but I won't plan on spending hours in line for Hunter

 

[Pine Tar]

I have some base Ginter cards of Twins from 2011? And 2012 2013 I could sell someone lol

 

[Greg Cleveland]

I bought the 5x7 Topps set online on BF for 1/2 off (or whatever it was) and plan on having them signed. Also just got their 87 Twins 5-card set-for the Gaetti, of course-and they will make for good autos too.
