TwinGnats · Dec 13, 2012

I picked up Kevin Correia's Ultimate Collection Gold RC /35 on comc.com that I'm going to get signed.

UMich92 · Dec 13, 2012

I hope Jeff Clement is added to the attendee list. I would like to get a few things signed for my wife's nephew (same hometown).

TwinGnats · Dec 13, 2012

They usually have the new additions there, probably put it in the contract.

AmishDave · Dec 13, 2012

How much was Mauer ? I'd like to get one for my wife and one for my daughter, since my wife would rather be with him than me, lol. $9 tickets too now. I'll be there all three days. Wooooo !!!

A lot of people, myself included, really liked the wristbands. It gives people a chance who don't want to waste 6 hours of their life waiting outside in winter weather just for the chance to pay those prices to get their autograph. Everyone has an equal chance and the odds are that if you go all 3 days that you'll get 1 or both of them anyway. This makes it fair for everyone.

for me i dont like it because im making a trip to the cities only for 1 day

Lally1 · Dec 13, 2012

Might have to make a trip home from school to make it..last year was the first year i didnt go in the past 4 or 5

That's understandable then, you could guarantee yourself him if you get there early enough. I just never would have gone that early just for an autograph. I was there all 3 days last year and me and my girlfriend just chose different color wristbands each day. Didn't get either the 1st day, I got Mauer the 2nd and she got Mauer the 3rd. I personally hope they do the same this year because if they don't and Mauer and Morneau don't happen, I'm not sure there's any other autographs that I would pay for. Will probably just hit up the prospect lines all weekend.

TwinsWin · Dec 13, 2012

Me and my parents go. Last year we choose different colors and had Mauer and Morneau each time. So I really liked the wristband idea

AmishDave · Dec 13, 2012

I'll be wearing my JJ jersey all three days, so look out for me (probably have a scraggly beard by then as well

)

wolfmanalfredo · Dec 13, 2012

I'll be making it this year too hopefully. Didn't go last year, I'm not missing it again. I expect them to add Tony O, I have a card I bought specifically to get signed at twinsfest.

Same here, got lots of prospect images to get signed from guys passing through Beloit the last 2 years. Probably going to be hitting up the dealers tables/Twins team store hard on Friday. Going to be going up with my brother for Friday/Sat and coming back home to WI Saturday night.

That's why I like them. I get one day, and I can't get there at 11pm to wait. Last year I got a wristband for Morneau and I was happy.

TBTwinsFan · Dec 13, 2012

This year is going to be really light for me. I plan to attend one day (Saturday). I'm looking for Mauer on the puckdrop 16x20, Perkins on something, and then the rest of the time is the free lines.

I won't be snagging the 40+ autos I got last year on Saturday.

wolfmanalfredo · Dec 13, 2012

I don't really go for the auto's as much as I like to talk with sellers and hopefully grab some nice cards.

AmishDave · Dec 13, 2012

Friday will be searching / other auto's. Saturday prospects. Sunday Mauer. Told Theresa she'll be taking Naomi to wait in line for Mauer to get a 8x10 photo personalized to Naomi & get her pic w/Naomi with Mauer.
