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

That Torii Trilogy auto is an awesome card! Also love that Spiderman inscription. Man I miss watching him play in Minnesota.

Any Koskie collectors on here? I am debating starting a collection of his. I loved him when I was in college, and I can't see it being terribly expensive.

I've thought about it too, but I think I accidentally just expanded my Thome pc from pictured as a Twin to pretty much everything. I enjoyed watching Koskie play, and was unfortunate how his career ended. Overall good guy.

Corey Koskie, the Brewers Killer.....

I still have a lot of nice Hunter cards, he was definitely one of my favorites, and couldn't blame him when Anaheim offered him Monopoly money. Better get to scanning...

Still have Koskie pulled aside too. Saw him on the floor with his kids years ago at Twinsfest. Busy being to be a dad like the rest of us. Nice guy, good glove, always hate to see a career end from an injury.

I was at the last regular season game at the Metrodome and Koskie was tossing batting practice to his kids on the field, except he didn't have a glove so he borrowed one from the fans.

I liked him too.

I got a PM a couple days ago from an FCB member asking about a Glen Perkins card.

He is trying to build a set of 2007 SP Rookies 1996 autographs, and he said that Perk has a certified card in the set but he has never seen it.

Card looks like this but with a sticker autograph on it...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-GLEN-P...0481503377?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item5896770091

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has seen a copy of it or knows anything about it?

Also, does anyone know what the Twins shop has for Perkins GU stuff? I might be in the market for some pretty soon here. Interested in anything (bats, balls, jerseys, gloves, hats etc). Not really looking for issued stuff (unless it's obvious that it was used)

Apple Valley - Nada, was in there this past weekend
Roseville - Nada (called them)
Minnetonka - Nada, was out there a few weeks ago
Target Field - Stars and Strips cap 2012 ($40) Banner ($20) are listed in their book, they are going to see if they can track them down and get back to me, LMK if you are interested and I can pick up for you if they have them.

They will restock with 2012 stuff soon, from now until up to Twinsfest is what I am being told.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Chris, I am interested in both. If you do decide to grab them, shoot me a PM and we can talk.

How much will a 2012 jersey cost? Will they be $300 or are they keeping the $150 price tag?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Twins picked up Tom Bolseka, who was with F-M last year.

 

[AmishDave]

If anyone is looking to get rid of rarer Hunter's, I've actually put a double of JJ up for trade towards them (just because it has an incredibly hot player on it):

Just throwing that out there for you other Twins fans

My guess is they will start them off around the $300 mark for Perkins

Waiting to hear back from TF on the Perkins stuff, I will LYK what I find out.

Nice quad!

Sounds good! Thanks!

I will probably get the banner signed, would gold paint pen do the trick?

Man these cards really are amazing in person. I stumbled upon this card and hit the BIN as soon as I saw it. Relatively cheap, and it was listed by Burbank actually. Rare to find a good card at a cheap price from burbank. I can see why people fall in love with these because I want the raindbow now.

Anyways, this is what is changing me from a Twins Thome collector into a Twins and 90's insert thome collector. Pucketts early retirement meant that he wasn't ever a part of the amazing insert sets of the late 90's. Now I will compensate for that by going after Thome.

Anyways, enough of my rambling. Here is a scan, and like everyone else will say, it doesn't do it justice until you have one in hand:



Looks gradeworthy too

Great Thome ! Love the Crusades (I think I'm in the minority here, lol).

I got my Baker banner in Blue and it looks amazing. He signed it very big.

Do you happen to have a pic? I'd love to see it.

I love those banners...

I have one of cuddy on my site that is signed in silver, not the best pic, but the banner is over 7 feet tall

Do you know of any other banners they have? If not no worries. I don't want you having to do any work to find out

Yeah, I'll take one Saturday and put it up. He signed it approximately in a 2 foot by 3 foot area
