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

Good pic of Drew. How was the turnout? Was Sal there, too?

 

[Guest]

No Sal, long line at first, probably 150-200 people, wrapped down and back, they had a seperate VIP line which took a while to work into the other line, but only waited 30 minutes once he started

Here are a few more of my recent pickups. Finally was able to land one of the SP Authentic Span Auto's. He has a couple other Dual/Triple Auto's so those might be challenging to get as they're all numbered to like /10 or /15.

You've got one of the SPX patch auto's, right? And if you've got any dupe autos, I've got an extra Chicle on-card auto if you want it

 

[TGutta]

Yeah I have one of the patch auto's. I actually have all of the Chicle Auto's as well too. All except the 1/1's .

 

[Lally1]

Looks like Duensings prices are rising - I am glad to be sitting on 13 Threads Autos, 2 Bound For Bejing Auto/Jerseys/ 2 Topps Chrome Blue Ref AU's, a Topps Chrome Gold Ref Auto, a 2007 Donruss Elite Collegiate Patch AuTO, and a USA Patch Auto. All were picked up for next to nothing!

Another ugly start by Liriano.. Didn't see it mentioned anywhere but Young was placed on the DL and Rene Tosoni is getting called up for the first time. Hopefully he'll get a start tonight with it being a DH and he can show what he's got! Anybody have anything for him? I know he has a Chrome Auto in 2008 so I'm sure some of you have something of him. This is it for me..

I have a ton of chromes that were given to me. No intent on selling or moving though

Good to see Tosoni get the call.

Let the Gypsy Queen quest begin. I know Span is in it. Not sure about Cuddy. Some nice short prints to go after. Saw a Thome leather mini out of 10 on Ebay and Morneau.

I'm pretty excited to grab some of the Span parallel's, especially the mini's. The only thing that sucks is I finally was pretty happy the other day to get above 60% of non-1/1's and now Gypsy Queen brought me back below lol

 

[matchpenalty]

Cuddy is in Gypsay and 1/1 plate is up

Sweet shot of Cuddy in throwback home jersey. MC you gonna go after the Cuddy Gypsy rainbow?

I wish I could find Gypsy at retail. Saw none at two Targets today and Hobby boxes are going way up in price. Anybody bust any? are base cards like Ginter and gonna real good for autos ttm or ip?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Anyone get VIP tix to the Cuddy, Thome, Perkins (glen, not the restaurant) breakfast? They are all sold out as far as I know. Good price too, $60. Regular ones are still up if I am correct.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

Pretty sure Chris was going--or thinking about it.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I might try to go if there are any regular tix left. They wouldn't let me graph, but I could at least see Perk, oh and Cuddy and Thome too

 

[Musial Collector]

The Cheerful Givers thing, yeah, I was going to go, but I screwed up and didnt get my $60 tix in time ::facepalm:: so I will be skipping it, unless I win the have breakfast with Cuddy auction

As for will I go for the Cuddy Rainbow in Gypsy, I will not break the bank for this stuff. I have prices in mind for the plates and such, so if they stay below that, I will be on them, they go over, so be it.

I was at TF last night and the players wives were doing some fundraising for the community fund. They had autographed 2010 Target Field Opening Day Homer Hankys and the Playoff Push ones too, for $10 each, they were in ziplock bags so you couldnt see who you were getting, they said all of the players where in there. So I decided to take a shot and the first one was Joe Nathan, not too shabby. So I said what the heck, do another, had one of the wives pick for me, she pulled a Thome. Takes the sting out of missing the Cheerful Givers breakfast and not being able to get a Thome that way.

If you go in the next few games, they are stationed behind homeplate. They have the hankys and cards for $10 (all players), OMLB balls for $25 (all but Mauer and Morneau), and Mauer and Morneau for $100. IMO, not bad prices for the hankys, cards and non Mauer and Morneau balls.

 

[Musial Collector]

Oh and TB, they had the Perkins Jackie Robinson Day GU Jersey in the shop too, for 2 bills, steal IMO.

That's cool! I will have to go check that out. Won't be going until the 19th of June though (IF I go)... I know Neshek was sent down in San Diego, but I am going to try and see him if he comes back up in time for the MN trip

 

[Greg Cleveland]

Need a scan of that Thome hanky. Sounds fantastic!

How long is that going for? Next game I have tickets for is May 14

 

[TGutta]

Had a pretty nice couple last days again and still waiting on a couple more cards, but didn't want to wait any longer to post them after today's mail (see sig)

Orange Reflectives /5

Blue Refractor /199

First Tsuyoshi Card (bought 2 team sets, busted one for the Span and Nishi and keeping the other sealed)

Topps Attax, Topps Team Set, Topps Triple Threads Sapphire Auto/Relic /10

Thanks for looking! Super excited that I completed my 2nd Span Rainbow (Topps Chrome and now Triple Threads minus the 1/1's)
