And Twins! (The Twins talk and pick-up thread).

[TGutta]

Haven't posted my pickups in quite awhile. All of my All-Star week stuff is in my TTM/IP thread, but here is some recent Twins stuff!

These are from an Oswaldo Arcia autograph appearance today at Sports Authority in Richfield.

And this is my 20th Twins 2011 Topps Hope Diamond /60. Below is my remaining wantlist from it if anybody can help out!

2011 Topps Hope Diamond /60: 54 Brian Fuentes, 109 Joe Mauer, 253 Jim Thome, 272 J.J. Hardy, 281 Kevin Slowey, 366 Joe Nathan, 390 Danny Valencia, 501 Tsuyoshi Nishioka, US177 Rene Tosoni, US279 Trevor Plouffe, US311 Drew Butera

Some new Santana's from last week.

Triple Threads Relic Combo /27



My first Sterling booklet /10

Very nice Santana's! I only have 1 auto of his in my collection, an IP signed Allen & Ginter that I got pretty cheap. Nice to see the Twins finally call up Trevor May to start tonight. Will be tough against the best team in baseball, but I would be pleased if he could go 5-6 IP with no more than 3 runs and limiting the walks.

Anyone interested in this?

Thanks!

I am anxious to see how May does tonight. It would be great to see him do well and stick with the club for the rest of the season.

Hi. I heard the Joe Mauer Game worn Cedar Rapids Kernel jersey auction reached $1000. This is from a 2nd hand source.

Anyone going to the game on Saturday and will have an extra Perk bobble? Let me know!

Photo from back in May. Had Everyday sign a Seattle Mariners lockertag that I picked up from GUU. He absolutely loved it.

Not Twins related, but here is a baseball I got done by John Anderson sometime in June. Arguably the nicest person I've ever met. I spent more time talking to him about his hockey career at HCC rather than his baseball success with the Gophers.

 

[TwinsWin]

Nice TBT haven't seen you all summer

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Also got to visit TF (on a winning day, which was nice).

I also made it to the Erv back in April to watch the Gophers, since it was a lot closer than driving to Siebert. Caleb Thielbar played his college ball here.

I've been busy and haven't had anything to contribute, since I've pretty much given up cards.

Still trying to do IP, but I'm just trying to keep it local, which means slim pickings.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Does anyone know of any signings happening on the 20th?

Might be heading to the metro, not sure.

20th is Vargas/Santana at HQ but it's sold out. Shaun may have some day of tickets though, if you want to get there early and wait it out.

A couple more of my recent pickups. Always nice to add a Span minor league card that I still need!
