Good evening all. Made it back to school about 30 minutes ago. I'm exhausted from the long car ride. I don't wanna go back to class tomorrow, but I am glad to not be in the car anymore. I had quite a bit to unpack, but I'll get my TwinsFest auto haul posted here for you guys

Here's my Allen and Ginter collection that I got over the two days. The Monte Irvin was given to me while waiting in line by our very own [MENTION=1953]Musial Collector[/MENTION], which I can't thank him enough for. Then The Carlos Gomez was a purchase, and I didn't want to spend the money on it that I did, but it was the last one that I need for the 2008 Twins team set. [MENTION=4648]TGutta[/MENTION] was nice enough to alert me to the Carlos Gomez card while he was looking at the card show.

Now the rest of the cards for guys that didn't have Ginter cards. [MENTION=4648]TGutta[/MENTION] was nice enough to get the Gordon signed for me, which I appreciated greatly!

ROMLBs- I had a Jose Berrios with a Futures Game inscription, but I worked a deal with somebody to get it signed for him to help save me some money. The Tony Olive is supposed to be for somebody else as well, just waiting to hear back from him. The Denard Span was part of a trade I worked with [MENTION=4648]TGutta[/MENTION]

Game Used locker tags. Dozier thought it was really cool that I got it, and that I drove 11 hours to get it signed. I didn't get Phil Hughes done, my sister did for me. She said that he thought it was really cool and asked her where she could get one. I wanted to get it signed myself, and I probably would have told him that I would work a deal with him lol.

Then I also added Caleb Theilbar to a ball that I got signed IP in Denver by Kurt Suzuki, Brian Dozier, Eduardo Escobar, and Chris Colabello. I wasn't planning on making it a 'team ball' but when I got it signed by Suzuki on the side panel, I figured I'd add guys as I can with it not being my top priority. Then I also had a fry helmet that I got a lot of the minor league guys that I had nothing of. I can't recall all of the guys off the top of my head, but there were 12-14 autographs on it at the end of the day. For it being my second TwinsFest, it was great, even if I did blow my budget, which is why I had extra cash along in the first place since I knew there was a chance of me being able to get more stuff done than I planned
[MENTION=4428]MrMet[/MENTION] I didn't scan your Pelfrey in, which I hope is okay with you. I was going to get you the 2011 Ginter signed as well. My sister went to the table that he was at on Saturday and she couldn't find the card. It slipped out of the sleeve she had for it and it was gone :(

Thanks for the comments fellas! I don't have a picture of it, but I also got a mini helmet that they use for garlic fries signed by 12 guys (it was washed don't worry.) But it is mostly guys that I didn't have a card for. The names that I remember that are on it include Neil Allen, Cole DeVries, Mike Pelfrey, A.J. Achter, Tanner Vavra, Eric Fryer, Max Murphy, B.J. Hermsen, and Jason Wheeler. I spent way too much money getting autographs, but the fact that it goes to charity makes me feel better about it. It was essentially Christmas for me since I was given money by most specifically for TwinsFest. I believe that before TwinsFest this year I needed these guys on Ginter cards- Joe Mauer x8, Torii Hunter x4, Ervin Santana x2, Jordan Schafer x1, Mike Pelfrey x1, Rod Carew x1, Bert Blyleven x1, Tommy Milone x1, Oswaldo Arcia x1, and Ricky Nolasco x1 for a total of 21 that I needed. I had to pick and choose which ones to get done for the guys that I had multiples of, with priority going to 2008, 2009, and then 2013. So I was quite proud to get 12 of them done, and then getting the 2 as pick ups was just icing on the cake for me. Either later tonight or sometime tomorrow I will be updating my signature to include the 2 new recent HOF additions
