How's the Valley West show? I'll be home in MN for the next one and I might check it out.

I don't go very often, maybe 2-3 times per year so I'm not sure I would be of much help. I usually never buy any Twins stuff there unless it is a Span that I need since mostly everything is way overpriced. I go there to try and finish up some sets, get supplies, and maybe buy a few packs. If I'm not mistaken I'm pretty sure Musial Collector goes there.

I'd love to head to the garage sale, but it won't be happening.

I'd be interested in an item or two under $20. GU.

Thanks. I think I'll try to stop by if I can.

Chris goes a lot.

I went once, probably won't attend it for a while unless they get good auto guests.

I think they had Tom Kelly last month. Not 100% sure though. I thought about going but decided not to.

I'm a Kelly fan, but he signs TTM for free, and I got him at the Stingers opener.

When I went, it was John Gordon and someone from the 1980 Hockey team. I got them both.

TG, I will be at TF (hope to be in line by 11) and VW tomorrow, so I may run into you.

If you happen to see any Cuddy stuff (jerseys besides 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2011, no bats needed, but if they have a locker plate or batting helmet, those are my primary wants) at TF, will you grab and hold onto and shoot me a text, that is if I dont see you in the store, I will do the same for Span if you want, just let me know if you do want me too.

As for the Valley West Show, I typically go to get autos of 80s Olympic Hockey Team and look to fill set needs, plus talk to Mudd and Hoag and whomever else I run into out there. This time I will be bringing stuff to try and sell though, we'll see how that goes. Only time I ever sold out there was to Warren (the Mauer Silk from '11 Ginter), but I havent seen him out there the last couple of times.

Most Minnesota team stuff if always overpriced, but sometimes you can find a diamond in the rough. Its tough to make deals out there with some of those guys cause they know if what they have doesnt sell this month, they will be back there next month and try over again, wash, rinse, repeat.

I found a Perk finest auto 9.5/10 that the dude couldn't even give away. I got it for quite a steal.

It's a good show IMO.

I'm going to try and get there right when I can at 10. I will keep an eye out for a Cuddyer helmet, locker plate, and jersey from the years that you need for you. If I find something there I'll go ahead and grab it and hold onto it and shoot you a text. I honestly have no idea what the prices are going to be like, especially Span since he was just traded, so I'm not sure what I'll necessarily be looking to get. I think my cap is at about $150 so I'm not going to be going for much, but I might see if I can get a super cheap GU jersey, GU hat, locker plate, etc. I've got his batting gloves, turf shoes, and a bat so those aren't needs for me.

I need any Perk nameplates.

I can probably pay back within the next month though, but I don't want to spend more than $200 or so.

I hear ya, I dont have a ton to spend either. The other year jerseys are at the bottom of my list, however if they are on the cheap, I will pick up. I have one locker plate, but having a TF or Dome one would be nice. From the Twins facebook posting, the say the hats are Team Issued, but hoping for you they have some GU ones. I will text you when I get to TF so you know that I am there and we can put a game plan in order if need be. Thanks for watching for stuff for me.

Anybody who's going willing to look for some lowend stuff for me? As Tgutta, I'd be looking for Span but my budget is way less. I have $50 that I could put towards it but if there is something there for an absolute steal I wouldn't mind chipping in a little more

Sounds good. And no problem at all. Taylor, I'll keep an eye out for cheap Perkins stuff for you as well, but I don't have a ton of extra money to spend.

I think most of the hats the Twins pass through get listed as issued, but I could be wrong.

If there's any small Dinkelman stuff--nameplate, hat, can't afford a jersey--I'd be interested.

How much are the name plate thingies usually?

TG,

Thanks!

I change my mind, my limit is going to be $100 (give or take). That I know I can afford.

Those of you that I have cell #s for, if I find anything that you have requested, I will text you with info.
