I'm planning on going on Saturday. I think I'll be going after Mauer this year. Last year was packed and we ended up getting snubbed out of an auto due to the long lines.

Didn't last year Bob Feller and Chuck Foreman set up at tables and sell stuff and you could have them sign stuff for a fee?

Feller for sure did, not sure about Foreman. Look back a couple of pages in this thread to see my pic of Feller signing.

Looks like he will be there again this year on Friday and Saturday.

Yes both Bob Feller and Chuck Foreman were there. I got a OMLB signed by Feller. The fee was $25. My wife and I waited until there was no line and went over. Got the autograph, talked about the museum, and got to listen to a few stories. Well worth the $25 fee.

My son Nick with Chuck Foreman. He doesn't know who he is, but knew he was a Viking. I think we paid $20 for an autographed picture of Chuck for Nick. Chuck had various items for sale, too. I also got a Feller auto.

sweet! How is the selection for cards? current,vintage,hof? Mainly looking for high end autos.

There's so much stuff, it's hard to say. It's very Twins heavy, obviously, but you'll have some tables that are strictly vintage, asome places with only new stuff, some don't have cards, but carry magazines, photos, bats, balls, other memorabillia, whatever. I like looking through $1.00 boxes. Oddly enough, I have never found a Gaetti auto to add to my collection at one. Maybe this year.

Everything under the sun. There are probably over 200 tables to plow through. Lots of Twins stuff obviously but plenty of other cards/autos/memorabilia to go around.

Same here. I'll be plowing through them on Friday night and will take a closer look Saturday.

Here's one more before I head off to bed. This is me and Bert about 3-4 years ago. Minnesota foks will remember Victory Sports Channel. They were sponsoring "Circle Me Bert" Bobbleheads. The head and the arm (holding a pen) bobbled. Proceeds went to a charity that Bert is very involved (escapes me at the moment) and he would sign them as you bought them. Couldn't go wrong, in my book.
