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

[Guest]

Tosoni & Rivera are heading down to AAA.

Delmon Young is returning & Trevor Plouffe is being called up ( )

I really like Tosoni, I hope he gets his swings in down in Rochester.

About time Plouffe is getting called up again. Have 2 base Elite autos, 4 /250, 1 /100, 1 50/50, and an uncirculated plate, plus a few other autos.

Yeah I have a stack of various elite autos as well.

Any of the /25 or /10 ones?

ill take 3 out of 4 on a division rival all year. good win today. im still suprised to see how poorly Adam Dunn is playing

Well, this time, Mr. Plouffe, keep you head about you, and keep hitting. He's been a "prospect" for a long time. I'm hoping he can really make it stick this time. We've been awaiting/dreading this to happen: everybody starts getting healthy, and the front office has to make some tough decisions. Tosoni and Rivera aren't tough decisions, but when Span and Kubel come back, the outfield will get pretty crowded.

Deal Young and Morneau, then you can have an OF of Revere, Span and Kubel (Repko), with Cuddy at First and Thome (Kubel) DHing, seems obvious to me.
Twins wont do it, but wish they would.

How can he hit 2 for 60 vs. lefties? Isn't there a point he becomes a switch hitter, hard to do worse than that sitting crosslegged on the plate.

Gibson... Gibson... Gibson... ::facepalm::

Work it back now...

Figured we needed more scans in this thread... I have very few cards that I would pretty much never consider selling (another I just sold to Musial Collector a few months back, so take that for what it's worth), but this is probably #1:

Scans rule in this thread. Reason why no other team thread touches this Twins one. Sick Mauer sketch. Have any other Twins got 1/1 Ginter sketch treatment. Always cool to see a peak into Flights Twins vault.

And heres what you get when you open Flights vault and are able to make a purchase out of it.

 

[Guest]

Flight, what do you have of Denard Span?

 

[TGutta]

Yeah! Let's seem some Span! I would love to see something that I haven't before haha

 

[matchpenalty]

I'd like to see even some of Flights blast from past cards he had. Like the 5 Tosni 9.5 reds pictured together.

I haven't even seen what all Twins are in 2011 Ginter. I know Mauer has auto. Not sure if we got any other Twins autos in it.

Ginter Checklist

http://www.sportscardradio.com/index.ph ... -checklist

Quick scan and for Twins it looks like, Mauer, Morneau, Young, Liriano, Pavano, Revere, Span. Granted it was a quick glance through, but didn't see Thome, Kubel, Valencia etc. I need another Thome in Twins uni.

Speaking of Thome in a Twins uni, there is a Huge card I'm going to go after the seller to get. Can probably guess what it is. If I can get a reasonable agreement on it, I'll bite the bullet

Thome #204
Kubel #224
Valencia #344
Cuddyer #128

GL on the Thome, that is a big card.

Really want to get to that Ben Revere signing next Thursday afternoon

 

[TBTwinsFan]

It seems as though I have won the Kevin Slowey t206 Blank Back 1/1 as well.

Now I have to pay for it.

If any show up later on, I might go for the team set since I have 3. I need the Kubel, Cuddy, and I think I need Liriano? Possibly Mauer and Morneau?

IDK who is all on the checklist.

Oh I am so gonna be there! About 10-15 minutes from my house too. I'm trying to decide if I want to hit up the Valencia signing on Friday yet. I want to, but not sure what to get signed. I have a OMLB from Twinsfest and an 8x10 from a previous signing. I'm thinking maybe a Topps Heritage from this year or maybe if I'm lucky to get my hands on one soon an A&G.

Well here it is, my best mail day since I have been collecting. I have picked up some more stuff that I needed the last few days but was waiting for this day to make it complete. I will start off with what I have gotten previous to today:

Denard Span International, Denard Span Green /450, Francisco Liriano Orange Refractor - A couple Spans that I needed and the Liriano was a filler in a couple trades. These were all from trades that I made.

Now a non-Twins pickup that I got the other day but didn't post here, got it for winning a contest:

Jose Bautista Gypsy Queen Auto

Now for the Top 3...

3) Denard Span Topps Blank Back 1/1 - I've now gotten all of the Span Blank Backs this year except the Bowman.

2) Denard Span Topps Magenta Printing Plate RC 1/1 - Special shout out goes to Lally on this one. Negotiated a deal for it and definitely one of my favorite cards now in my collection. Cool to get a RC plate since the odds are I won't see any others.

And for the big one...

1) Denard Span Topps Chrome Superfractor 1/1 - MY FIRST SUPERFRACTOR!!!!! NEED I SAY MORE!?!
