Went to both shops, the one at the mall sucked, terribly overpriced and only maybe 3 boxes that weren't from the 1990's. Spent $40 at the other one, bought a nice Rick Ankiel 1/1 sketch, 2 packs A&G, 2 10 Chrome, 09 Score Inscription, 10 Score, 2 10 BDPP, 2 packs Topps baseball. Didn't get any hits,got a A&G back SP Miggy Tejada, Count of St. German mini, Sanchez rookie /999, Freeney gold /299, Stanton Chrome, Kvasnicka rookie, Arencibia refractor. Then went to Walmart and got a UD blaster, Tolbert jersey, Hughes, Mientkiewicz, Guerrier, Swarzak, team checklist, Casilla 163 hit, Cuddy A&G, Capps Update. I'll get pics up soon.

Did they still have the Span Bowman Red AU at the shop in the mall?

I don't think they did, didn't pay too much attention to the higher end stuff, had a Valencia Sterling auto for $50 and some other stuff for very expensive

Do you know if they buy there? Could make a killing selling them some of my Kubel stash

I wish I could sell the stuff at the prices they have. They were selling the same Mauer/Liriano dual auto I bought for $25 for $80

The mall shop is very hit or miss. I probably should have said that...

Glad you made it to the other one. I apologize for sending you to the mall during crap-season.

Do you live up by Brainerd? Know of any good places for cards between there and Bemidji?

I like the ALCO in Pine River. I kill on their mix-pack boxes. I also hit up the antique shop but they never have anything worth buying.

Some shops like that will give you half of what they sell it for. Usually when its Twins stuff, half of what they sell it for is somewhere right around what you can get for it on the secondary market or more. If they sell Kubel chrome auto's for 30, I'd give 15 or 20 for 15.00. Still have a few in my collection. along with all the refractors and x-fractors

Found the sketch sitting in a box with other inserts, not sure if it was priced as a 1/1 or not

I was at the game last night and it was a lot of fun. It wasn't looking too good early on but the inning that we scored 4, capped by the Plouffe HR really got the crowd going. The ball actually bounced off of the foul pole and landed about 5 rows in front of me in LF. Anyway it was a good way to get started on the 2nd half of the year.

Also, is anybody planning on going to any of the upcoming signings? I feel like there is a lot coming up for people in the cities. I was debating whether or not to go to the Valencia one today but finally decided to just go. I'll also be at the Kubel Fan HQ signing tomorrow, and I'm hoping to hit up the Revere and Nathan ones next week. Anyway here is what I got, plus some mail..

Got the Span and Liriano for less than $2 DLVD on ebay which was really nice (2nd Span Copper Ref RC), and the Freeman which was from my Bowman box earlier in the year. Haven't decided yet whether to sell it or keep it PC. I know I could flip it for some nice Twins cards, but I'm slowly starting to realize that I have a nice little Braves collection haha

 

[Musial Collector]

Kubels on rehab assignment, will not be at FanHQ tomorrow, get on their mailing list so you are informed about stuff like this.

Was the Valencia signing busy?
