Nope, don't have any Valencia 1/1s.

Twins lineup for opening Spring Training game, wonder if it's going to be the same or any changes for Opening Day.
1. Denard Span, CF
2. Jamey Carroll, SS
3. Joe Mauer, C
4. Justin Morneau, 1B
5. Josh Willingham, RF
6. Ryan Doumit, DH
7. Danny Valencia, 3B
8. Trevor Plouffe, LF
9. Alexi Casilla, SS
(Pitching: Carl Pavano)

 

[Musial Collector]

Only changes I see are:
Morneau not being able to shake the effects of concussion syndrome
Cant have 2 guys playing SS so Casilla will be at 2nd
Revere may be starting in LF over Plouffe

Other than that and barring any injuries this ST, that will pretty much be your opening day lineup

Is Parmelee going to be the backup to Morneau if he does have more effects from his concussion? Seems like Plouffe will probably get more at bats throughout the season than Revere if the OF stays healthy, but Revere coming in often on defense late.

Working on scanning a couple things, but thanks a great member here, I was able to land a great piece for my Puckett and Blyleven pc's in 1:

Awesome! Is that an entire box or just the front panel?

Is there a market for old Wheaties boxes? Not old yet, I've got one from Garnett winning the title with his Celtics uniform in a pretty nice display box.

Figured Minnesota people would be interested in the signing, or if they go to Fan HQ on Thursday would wonder why there's a line wrapping around the entire mall.

No its the entire box.

I have a few 87 wheaties boxes just for nostalgia, but couldn't pass up one with Puckett and Blyleven. Got it for a fair price, and it'll be in my collection for a long while.

I'm not sure if the cereal boxes are really collectible or not. Other then 87 WS champs boxes, I've got a wheaties box from the 90's with puckett on the front, and unopened with the cereal still inside.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I think to the right people they are. I have a couple '87s too and my friend had one signed by Steve Lombardozzi.

 

[TwinsWin]

When ever people here I collect twins things they always say that they have the wheaties boxes and homer hankies

 

[TwinsWin]

i was going through a couple boxes at home and found this. i had pulled this from a hobby pack of upper deck in 2010.

Definitely a great find, with how rare those are, those are some great money.
