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

[Musial Collector]

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?

My buyer and the second place bidder look to just be an overall Twins collectors, possible that they are each going for the Gypsy Queen Stamp set of the Twins I guess.

I know of 5 for sure Cuddyer sales, so there are 5 still out there that have not hit eBay, so its a risk if I were to sell the 5/10 and hope for another one to pop up and get it on the cheap. Decisions decisions as I want to complete as much of the GQ set as possible, however on the flip side, if I were to sell the other one for 150, those two cards alone would pay for 67% of the pink Mothers Day bat of Cuddyer that I just bought. Ugh...

Heres an older one that sold for 71.99

Cant find the other sale, but IIRC it was right around 75-80ish

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.

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.

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.[/quote:9zf4chur]

An image would help.

Thanks Chris!

Makes me tempted to sell my Mauer GQ stamp. I love Mauer, but I'm not wild about the card.

Might grab some tickets on StubHub and head down to the game tonight, still deciding though. Anyway here is my stash so far of 2011 Bowman. Only scanned the Chrome Prospects and Span but will list all of my others. This is my first real attempt at getting as many different Twins from every product and it's been a lot of fun trading for some of them.

Blue /500: Valencia, Revere
Green /450: Young, Valencia
Orange /250: Revere
International: Liriano

Base Prospects: Arcia x12, Salcedo x11
International Prospects: Salcedo x2
Prospects Purple: Arcia
Prospects Blue /500: Arcia x3
Prospects Green /450: Arcia
Prospects Orange /250: Arcia
Chrome Prospects: Arcia x14, Salcedo x12

Denard Span

Oswaldo Arcia

Adrian Salcedo

Nice stashes. Salcedo run looks cool. You going for his red and orange chromes. Arcia prices seems pretty high. Have either guys supers been seen? I know little about Arcia. Has nice stats, but my guess his stuff will drop some. Salcedo seems like cheaper buy in for colors.

If your timing is right and you get two heavy hitters going for it, you're probably not that far off, if at all.

Nice MC. How many Cuddy rainbows have you done. Getting all 5 reds would be amazing feat. You do non chrome bowman version

It would be nice to get his Orange and Red, Red might be a little out of my range though. Arcia has really nice numbers but he's been hurt for about the past month and a half, not sure with what though. Haven't seen either Super yet either. I think Salcedo has some nice potential though. He doesn't have the huge K numbers, but he has good stuff and has been very consistent this year for Beloit, plus he just turned 20 years old.

I did and I was one of the two offers.
I was at $30 for my offer and not knowing what the other person offered, I just bit the bullet and hit the BIN.

Did anyone know that Kyle Carr is playing for the St. Paul Saints now?

Does he have chromes? I might have to send TTM to him.

That is crazy! No doubt the best Cuddyer collection. I would like to finish a Span Rainbow sometime but have only seen one 1/1 and it was too late (2010 TC Super). Closest that I am is with the 2010 TTT.

Are you on Nesheks Board? About six months ago a game used 1b glove of Cuddy was traded away by Pat. Might be able to sniff out some real game used stuff if that interests you. Shaun at FanHQ gets some stuff in his shop too but I have a buddy that works there and he usually snags it up pretty quick. Be fun to meet you at Cuddys signing if you'll be there. I got All Star tix so i'll be in the Pic with him there. -Mike

Not a member over there, but maybe should be.
IMO, I have the best Cuddy glove out there, its the game 163 first basemans glove, picked it up at FanHQ.
If your buddy is the one that is the Cuddyer fan too, well, he and I had a chat and I got the glove about a day before he was going to have the funds to get it himself, but he did get one of the other 4 that they had around Twinsfest time.
I also have 2 Mothers Day bats (2009 and 2011), 4 jerseys (Miracle, AAA/Rookie year #16, 2007 road and 2010 Jackie Robinson Day), 2 balls (cycle night and one from a game I was at against the Tigers last year that he got a hit with), batting gloves and a batting practice hat. Always looking to add jerseys, havent really decided if I want to add spikes yet.

I will be at the signing with the Pink Bat, so I guess I will be easily noticable. I am also planning on having a ticket signed from his 1,000th hit if my buddy gets it to me intime as promised.
