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

You don't happen to have an extra base auto of them to sell or anything?

None of those guys. That was my first Kvasnicka and I only have 1 base of Rosin and Knudson. I have 2 parallels of each but I'll probably hold them to possibly flip later on.

If you flip, look my way first. I am trying to get 100 of each base autograph.

Also, Rosin signs TTM very well if you wanted to get some base cards signed. IDK about Kvasnicka. I sent him just about everything I had :lol: and Knudson probably would. He is one of those guys who will sign for anyone.

I will definitely let you know first. I will probably send a couple base to Rosin. Haven't ever done a TTM before so it should be interesting.

Contact him via facebook and ask him if it's ok first (I am kidding).

I sent via his team and filled it with a bunch of Gopher stuff. I think I said Coach Anderson is a great coach, and things like that.

Got them back pretty quick.

I am going to try Knudson TTM here pretty quick.

Sent you a PM TB.

Anyone going to the signing Saturday morning? How early would you expect to be there to get in line?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Anyone else going to the service tonight?

I will be there.

I am NOT selling my programs though. If I pick up a couple extra, I might give them away to some members on the board for shipping costs.

If you do happen to pick up a couple extra keep me in mind. I want to go but have a softball game at 615 so I probably won't make it..

An update on Saturday's autograph session:

MINNEAPOLIS -- An autograph session will be held before Saturday's game at Target Field to raise funds for victims of the recent tornadoes, the Twins announced Wednesday.

The session will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. CT outside Gate 29 on Target Plaza, and all donations will benefit the Red Cross tornado relief efforts. For $10, fans will be able to get a variety of autographs, with a limit of one from each player.

Among the players scheduled to take part in the autograph session are pitchers Matt Capps and Brian Duensing and catcher Drew Butera.

$10 is okay for autos, but look who you're getting. I can't make it into town for it, but I do hope they get a good turnout to raise money.

And I would say, have a good time tonight, TB, but that doesn't sound right no matter how you say it. Just tell us about it when you can.

Ya I wish some big names would sign up for this to draw me there. I've gotten all three of those guys at free signings already this season.

I've gotten Capps and Butera already, but I might go just so see if Burnett is signing to get the Chrome plate and gold /50 that I have signed

A couple of things to remember:
1) the funds that are raised are going to help the residents of the tornado damage, so I think of it this way, I will make a donation for relief and the autos are secondary to me. Some will say, no, you are paying for an auto but I disagree. Im going to make a donation and the autos are a "freebee" to me
2) by the wording, it says "among the players appearing are" so more than Capps, Butera and Duensing should be there, if not, seriously its $3.33 per player if you are looking at it you are paying for an auto.
3) to answer someone elses Q about what time do you think one should get there, I am guessing by 8AM at the latest, JMO. I think there will be a great turnout for this.
4) TB, if you can pick me up a program, I would greatly appreciate it, thx, if not, not biggie.

Damn, that early you think? I was thinking about around 11 if I went

 

[Greg Cleveland]

When it comes to Twins fans and getting autographs, always expect long lines! Especially with it benefitting tornado victims, there will be a big turnout. Go early, wear comfortable shoes, and make a day of it.

 

[Guest]

Well, I'll plan on not going then unless they add some other players to the auto list

 

[Musial Collector]

It starts at 11:30 though, runs for an hour, its $10 for at least 3 players, if not more of them.
Just my opinion. I could be waaaaaaaaaaaaay off, but Twins fans are diehards typically. Yes they are having a down year, but I have a feeling it will be NNFC. I mean in 60 minutes, how many autos can you sign? Maybe 180, thats one every 20 seconds as people lay **** down, bs with the player like they are a long lost cousin, etc. My opinion, if you think 11 is good enough that you think you will be 180th or less go for it, otherwise Ill stick by my 8AM guess.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Chris (and TGutta), I will do my best. I can't guarantee, but depending who all goes (if it is just me and my dad, or my whole family) I will spend some time looking for a few. Since I know you guys won't sell them, I will be sure to send one to each of you if I can get my hands on them

If I get any more, I will do it giveaway style on the boards. There are a lot of people here who are Twins/HK fans in another state or who can't attend. I will do one here, and on Neshek's board, (so I would need a total of 4).

It doesn't seem right to sell them, because that would be profiting from his death and I just can't do that.

 

[Guest]

If anyone's interested, you can probably get this for $30, I had a $30 pending offer but let it expire because I found a different dual auto I like

Man that is a nice deal Twins are putting on for Tornado stuff. I look at it the same way MC, for a $10 DONATION YOU GET 3 sit down autos. First class al the way.

Lots of Twins game used stuff in the Mother's Day auctions on MLB.com. Kubel, Pluffe and Morneau have cool writing on them for Mothers....Cuddy, Span, Valencia, Tosoni are also up

I am back. I am going to make a thread about the experience. It was awesome!

TGutta and Chris, PM me your addys. Twins, I should have a few extra (I needed 3-4 and I think I got more than that. I should have kept picking them up, but I didn't )
