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

[TBTwinsFan]

Any good signers on the last day of a series?

Revere and Tolbert were signing, and Nishi and Casilla gave a bat to fans

Awesome!

I will have to get some graphing supplies this week for the game.

Plan on having everything of the position players, and very little chance a pitcher signs, I try to get down to the gate on the line

Yeah. I will probably grab a team set or something and use that, and then grab a Revere card, and some Chromes of the guys who don't have a Topps card.

I will be more focused on the visiting side, but, if I get a chance I will swing around to the Twins dugout.

Yeah I actually thought about it before this year and decided to try more for the visiting team. Figured you can always get Twins auto's since they're the home team, so why not try for the others. Also my seats are on the visiting team side so its nice and easy to just walk down from my seats. I've gotten these so far this year. Oakland has RP Jerry Blevins and one other that I wasn't sure who. The Rangers has OF David Murphy and SP Matt Harrison.

I think it's a really fast Ryan Sweeny sig. Sweeny and Rosales are the only 2 on the active roster that would come close.

Thanks for the info! Our seats would probably be in the middle, directly behind the dugout in one of the Home Plate boxes, and I am going to try for Kemp to sign, but I will have an item for anyone on the team to sign because I don't want to lug a ton of cards around.

Where are your tickets at?

Thanks. I thought at first it might have been Rosales but couldn't figure it out. I'll have to try and compare it to others. Also my seats are Section 126 Row 18. Have a 20-game plan. Have Section 305 last year but wanted to try and upgrade to lower level this year. For the visiting team side the best spot that I can think of during batting practice is as close to the dugout as you can near 3rd base. I haven't really checked to see if the visiting team signs at all during warmups as I only usually try during BP. Hope that helps.

Just have to share this crazy sale with you fellas............

So I picked up this card (3/10) on May 8th for $34, see link
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWNX:IT

I'm a geek when it comes to numbering, so when the 5/10 came up for BIN of 39.99 on May 18th, I bought that knowing I could sell the above one for at least the $34 I spent.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWNX:IT

So I waited to see how the one ending on June 11th would close for before listing mine, here it is closing for 58.75
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWAX:IT

So I listed mine for 7 day auction, starting bid of 49.99 with a BIN of 59.99. Opening bidder killed the BIN, look at the final results, card has been paid for, insured and shipped!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MESOX:IT

Now it begs the question, do I do a second chance offer to the second high bidder offering up my 5/10 and hope to find another one someday, or just keep my 5/10? Hmmmmm....

I have to say, an almost 5x flip is the best Ive ever done!!!

 

[matchpenalty]

Way to crush on that sale MC. Gypsy stamp cards have had some just crazy high sales. Such a cool product. If it were me I'd do second chance and count the $$$, but I guess you never know when another one would hit the market. Just depends on how attached you are to the card.

I saw that one, it was an insane price. Did you list the red /5 and the other refractors that ended a few days ago too?

We will be in 118 or 119. Being that it's the third game, I doubt there will be any BP, but I will still try. I am going to push to get in around 10:10 or so (when the gates open). That means we will need to leave around 6:30 in the morning or so (since he hasn't been there before, he will have to figure the parking ramps out).

It should be a fun game in all, regardless of who wins. I like going to games with him because he knows so much about baseball.

Yes, the red and the gold that you may have seen are duplicates. I have seen 2 of the 5 reds and have purchased them both, second one I picked up was the 5/5 (imagine that), so I guess with this one not selling, I will either bring to a show around here and see what I can get for it, or just go after all 5 of them. :lol:

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Here is a Rosales (why someone would PSA it, IDK). Only thing that changed with his sig is his number

Here is Ryan Sweeney:

Hope that helps a little bit!

Shouldnt be that hard to figure out, you were at the state high school basketball games, right? TC is right next to TF, there are tons of ramps right there, so I would suggest those, being you will be at a weekday game, probably your best bet. Unless you want to flat lot parking and walk a little ways, then you could get off cheaper. But being you will be with your grandpa, parking closer may be better for him.

We actually walked from our hotel to TC via the skyway system. That was a really cool experience. I am sure we can figure out the ramps. They don't look too hard, and some are fairly close to the field.

Any suggestions to a specific ramp? Close to a skyway would be best since we can go over the road instead of waiting for the lights and going across.

My suggestion would be the Block E ramp, right across the street from TC, where the HRC and Hotel are. You can take the elevators up to skyway level, walk over 1st Avenue to TC, walk thru there, will bring to the skyway thats between TC and TF, take a right, walk towards the ABCD ramp, you will be overlooking the Plaza, exit the door, walk down the stairs and there you are at TF. You are only 2 blocks from TF. I have parked there for a night game and IIRC it was either 10 or 12 dollars, so it will either be the same for a daytime game, or slightly higher.

If you need an image of the description above, LMK and I will PM you one later tonight.

That Cuddyer sale is crazy. Justin Morneau's did the same thing. I paid 35ish for mine and one just sold for 128.50. Makes me think about selling mine too.

 

[Guest]

Are the stamps the same now as the 2010 Chrome gold autos /10 and the Topps blacks, one or two guys are going for the set and driving up the prices?
