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

Here is the flyer for the show (long list of guests it looks like for Saturday). Just no prices shown for tickets. The TCSCC's site won't load so I can check prices.

I was right... the Morton show is the same weekend. Sunday's are really weak there so I can go on Saturday and go cheap bin hunting:

If I am not able to make the Valley West show, can I ship my jersey + correct cash to someone to get it signed?

Blyleven or Liriano?

Liriano.

I would cover all fees, the jersey + inscription fee + shipping, but I don't know how much that costs.

Couple of pick ups via a trade with IUjapander.

Mauer is #/50. Weird how the Puck's stripes are different from each other. Wonder what year jersey/pants they're from?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Finally got the info on the Liriano signing that I needed. $45 bucks for an auto and inscription for 4 words. Very do-able, but I don't want to make the trek into the cities to do it.

I will still ship the jersey out, but not to just anyone. I can provide something for the time and effort.

I don't know what they would provide for pens, but I would want a pen that would stick to the number on the back, but would look nice with the jersey. My inscription would be something regarding the no-hitter.

It would be crazy to add 2 no-no pitchers to my collection within a month...

TB I'm out of town right now so posting on my blackberry. What day and what time is Liriano? I may be able to assist.

October 2 12:00-1:30.

If you can help out, let me know if you need anything tossed in.

Quick question, were Mauer Bowman Heritage autos inserted into 2011 Topps Series 2?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Here is the Jimenez and Parmelee stub that I am going to get signed. He belted #2 today, and I thought about buying the stub, but, well you know...

I am thinking a double matte with a 2007 Topps RC for a photo at the bottom, maybe something different.

Second straight 3-hit game by Dinkelman! Gotta stick with the big club next year!

Dink been one of the few bright spots for this sorry ass team. Any new Dink pick ups. Maybe his showing in bigs will get him a look with some team next year that will give him a legit shot.

Anyone get a Nishi redemption. I'm gonna wait until real things hit ebay. See what kind of graph he puts on them, if he does in fact sign.

I am going to wait until I can dig 3-4 of them out of the dollar box to buy them.

I am going to start stocking up on Robb Quinlan cards for IP at the dome this year. If anyone wants to do a 50/50, let me know. I can take 2-3 cards per game. I just ask that you don't send me numbered cards, you prep any glossy cards, and you send SASE. I don't know what this year's schedule looks like right now.

He doesn't have a ton of cards... as far as base, this is what I know.

-2008 Heritage
-2008 UD
-2003 UD
-2000 Bowman/Chrome
-04 Topps Total
-2000 Best
-2009 Upper Deck
-2004 Fleer Tradition
-2005 Diamond Kings

He has a 2009 UD jersey as well. I can also take photofiles or team issued 8x10s.

I don't have the schedule, but I am going to try to make it to senior day. You can go down on the field and the players and coaches are very awesome about signing.

For anyone wondering, he is now one of the coaches for the Gophers and played a few years in the Majors. Not a major player, but I still want to get some stuff signed.

Nothing of Dink since his Bowman Chrome stuff back in 08. If no late issues, I'll have to hope he makes the cut for 2012 stuff. Then the fun will really start! Hope he makes it to Twinsfest this year.

I am just curious, why are you a fan of Dinkleman?

He is a good ballplayer. I hope he goes far.

Not Twins related, but local autograph scene:

http://www.healtheast.org/classes/s...ul-diabetes-lions-club-waffle-breakfast-.html

St. John's Hospital in Maplewood is having Lou Brock speak on Saturday, 9/24 about playing with diabetes & then he will sign autographs after. There is a waffle breakfast prior to the event with a $7 charge.

It's only a couple blocks from my house, but I'm in a wedding that day so I can't go

Kyle Rudolph signing at FanHQ for $15 a piece, anyone going?

 

[Slette]

That's not a bad price for Rudolph.

Dinkelman is from my hometown, Centralia, IL. (like Gaetti) Brian's mom works in the office of a friend of mine from high school (who is a vet) so she is my insider for news and hopefully a major league debut ticket one of these days.

That's awesome! I was impressed by his performance when I saw him this weekend. I hope to get his graph one of these days. I hope he is at TwinsFest.
