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

Twins World Series Champs/ Killebrew Corn Maze

Where is this at?

Champlin, MN

We took our boys to that one last year. Very cool maze, and a lot of other stuff to do there, too. Great place to go with your family.

These are not new pick ups, but I've been meaning to scan these and show off.

I bought a Benson like that last year out of a cheap-o lot on the old Topps boards.

Nice Parmelees! I have some Chromes I want signed.

If you'd keep your eye open for any Chad Greenway 1/1's and Donruss Elite parallels from 06, it'd be much appreciated!

Greenway Elites or Elites in general?

I can do that. I can almost guarantee that they are going to be 150% too high though.

Just Greenway 2006 Elites, please - he's in a Hawkeye jersey on them.

Thanks man

No problem. It is a decent sized show IMO although we are going to be competing with Valley West so some of the biggest dealers won't be there. I noticed that the when I was at Valley West and Earle Brown, and the last Jackpot show. A lot of Minnesota collectors rotate between them even though there is some distance between them.

I am mainly going to look for signed 8x10s. The last thing I need is more cards lol. Plus I need my money for items for the Wanderlei, Sherk, and Larson appearance.

Nice Flight drive by with those Kirbys.

First Nishi marquee auto to hit.

Thanks again man. If you come across any, I can send you PayPal right away. Is the show held right at Jackpot Junction? I can't imagine a worse combination for my wallet - a card show and casino.

Flight, nice Kirbys!!

Parmelee with another two hits yesterday. Hope it's not fools gold, Morneau at DH might be the only way to salvage his career.

 

[matchpenalty]

You can't really put a lot of stock in Sept #'s.
I'm just hoping we get major changes this off season. Even if we have to eat some money, deal Morneau.

I'm afraid that's becoming more of a possibility. If not with the Twins, someone else may take him.

Good, makes Cuddy more of a valued commodity on the Twins
Well, at least from this fans perspective.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

I think the Twins have proven they can put anyone in at first--Cuddy, Hughes, Mauer, Parmelee, anyone else? Going to be an interesting off season for the Twins.


And Dink had better show up at Twinsfest!

Alright! Sounds good. Yeah the show is at Jackpot Junction ha, nice place, although I can't go into the casino for another 5 months yet.

I won a sweeeeeeeeeet charity auction a week ago Friday.
I have a game used bat that I know Cuddy hit a HR with
I now have the HR ball that he hit

IMO pretty freaking cool to have the bat and ball HR combo
I will post pics tomorrow of both

There probably aren't too many of those combos (minus special homeruns)

Can't wait to see some pics!

On top of the above, it just happened to be a game I attended (June 9, 2011), so I saw the HR too. Bought the bat on a whim at Target Field at the end of August while at a game. Looked up the halo # when I got home that night, and found out it was from that game, pretty sweet. Then Im looking at the Cheerful Givers site (an organization that Cuddy supports) and looking thru their stuff up for auction and see a ball, click on it to look at it and low and behold, it is that HR ball, #8 on the year, and Cuddy even inscribed it, its pretty freaking sweet IMO.

So at the game, see the HR in person, luck has it I buy one bat of many from the pro shop at TF and just happens to be this bat and somehow end up looking at the cheerful givers site and luck has it this ball is up for auction. Unreal circle of events. Now if somehow I get the jersey from that game, I may just go into :shock:

Truly awesome story. I can't tell you how much I love hearing these stories especially from another Cuddy fan. Stoked for you man. Sounds like great display opportunities. Still have the ticket from the game? I know a few season ticket holders that might still have their tickets. Lmk if you need help finding one.

That is very awesome! Now all you need is the ticket stub, batting helmet, jersey, pants, cleats, and batting gloves :lol:

That's crazy, Chris.

Got a buddy going up to the Morton show he will be having 4 tables selling there since the Valley West show didn't have any spots open.

Oh and Check this auction out.

That's cool. I thought about building a complete run of Twins sets but I don't know where to start.

Has anyone ever tried this?

I used up my ad for this week, but I am going to put a classified ad out there next week for a lot of 25-50 Newer Twins cards just to see if anyone pops on it. I may try to buy and sell junk cards through the classifieds too for cherry picking after I get rid of some of mine.
