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

[TBTwinsFan]

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!?!

Awesome! I am glad you got that.

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.[/quote:2n336pjn]


Unfortunately, its looking like we're not going to be able to get a deal done. He's not really in a rush to move it, and as of now the bare minnimum is still well above what I consider to be reasonable. Maybe another day

Couple more cards in today's mail...

showoff got the Salcedo for me this weekend in Beloit, so thanks go out to him for that one. Also got in a lot of 75 Base BDP Eddie Rosario for only $0.10 per. Really like how the kid is playing so far. Isn't much of a risk that cheap!

Great pick up on Span super TG. Rainbow in sig looks sweet.

That Salcedo IP auto looks nice. TB ever try him ttm?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Anyone know if there are any signings in the Brainerd area for the end of July-beginning of August? I am heading up there and there isn't a ton to do. I might have my own vehicle this go around and can probably make one.

On Boston sport show, they brought up that one of players Sox are targeting in trade is Cuddyer. Twins could probably get a decent prospect from Sox for him. If Cuddy does get moved I hope it it to Red Sox. Get him a WS ring!

Is that the one in the mall? I will be hitting it up pretty quick here. They usually have a hard to find Perkins or two.

If you mean the one by the old water-tower, I haven't been there in years.

NVM SCC is the one in the mall. Is there something you need from there?

Agreed. Twins aren't going to kick a guy out with that talent who can play all the positions he can for a prospect.

That's forgetting the fact that he is a fan favorite.

While I agree, I would find it hard for us not to trade him if we absolutely fall out of the race in the next 2 weeks. That being said, I don't think we will and if we gain some ground who knows, we might end up adding a piece or two.

I forgot, they are both SCC. I haven't been to that one in years. Sports Card Connection in the mall is my favorite up there, but it gets really crowded sometimes. They have good sales on wax every so often and their staff is pretty friendly. Some even make deals on certain categories of cards.

Yup. They carry a lot of Twins stuff there. Last few times I was up there I got some Perkins stuff that I can't find anywhere else. I can remember they had some Span and Cassilla prospect stuff as well. Not a lot of Vintage, and their $1 boxes are always fun to dig through.

However, it's been a good year since I have been up there.

Sounds like I'm going there tomorrow then. How are they for packs and stuff, or some nicer autos of Twins? Not big into vintage at all anyways

Packs are hit or miss. I have been up there when they have had the newest products a day or 2 after release, and some days I have been there and it's older stuff.

They do have some nicer Twins stuff usually. It's been a year or so since I have been there, but they have had some nice items. Like I said, they have had stuff for my collections that I haven't seen anywhere else.
