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

Seeing all of your guys' pickups made me want to buy something...

I don't have this one and it's an on-card. Some really nice stuff showing up for Perk on eBay right now...

There was a TON of Perkins stuff at the monthly Valley West show in July.
Im sure it will all be there in Aug, you should bring your wallet and buy up all their Perkins stuff.

Yeah, I should hit that show up again. Is that the one at the Heritage Center? That show usually has a few needs that I can't find anywhere else. If I am not out of town that weekend, I should hit it up.

Valley West show is in Bloomington off Old Shakopee road just west of France Ave. Its in the Valley West strip mall there. Its not as big as Heritage Center card shows but thats only once or twice a year but its bigger then the one in Mounds View, Maplewood, and Har Mar Mall.

Here is my Thome mailday from yesterday(the green tint), just need the black /62, and the red tint. If you guys come across either, lmk, and there might be a finders fee to go along with it.

Anyone got any Liam Hendricks chrome autos? Looking to buy or trade. Currently got 22 incoming

Dang! Are you stashing or collecting?

Just a side note, I got the Gibbs in, they look awesome! Thanks.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

Getting sick of seeing the autos you guys get at the appearances and such. Stuck over here in Cheeseland.

Love the Thome photo, TwinsWin! Is it 8x10? Looks like an 11x17.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I wish I could meet Thome. It sucks being stuck here in Redwood Falls... there is absolutely NOTHING... the Caravan stopped here one year but it was a private tour for the players (The scoreboard at Target Field was produced here and in Brookings, so I suppose that is why). We used to get a few player appearances every year, but not anymore.

Anyone know if Thome has any appearances throughout the rest of the summer? I would love to hit one up and have him sign something. I won't meet him at TwinsFest I know that much.

just got this back from a FanHQ signing, gotta say this might be my favorite piece until i get my opening day picture back from the Kubel signing.

Very nice. One of my favorites. Here is mine I got at Twinsfest.

Umm Im probably holding the autos for another year then will sell. He is doing amazing and I do not get why he does not get more love. He's 22 and dominating double A and now triple a. I will keep my game used jersey for sure. For $4.25-$5.50 a pop you can't beat the price.

Wow, that's pretty good. I don't follow a lot of guys in the minors though. Basically just the ones I collect.

So far this year, outside of Twinsfest, Thome as been at the Cheerful Givers breakfast (paid event with Cuddy and Perkins for $60 a head, not sure why you didnt hit that one up) that was "public" and then did a "private" signing for FanHQ at a starting price of $150 a pop if Im not mistaken. Good luck if you think he will just be at a Best Buy, or Cub Foods, or even the Pro Shop to do any kind of free signing, just aint going to happen. You want a Thome you will have to paid dearly for it IMO. Highly doubt he will be here next year.

Today's Nathan signing. It's been a pretty fun week. Started last Friday with Valencia, and now Revere and Nathan this week. Now I just have to wait to find out when the Kubel Fan HQ signing will be made up to get my BP ball signed.

How bad was the line compared to yesterday?

I couldn't go. All the auto tickets were sold by the time I heard about it, I had no money, and I think my dad was busy that day so he couldn't drive me into the Cities. That sucked because I had a scheme to get everyone's auto on "one" item.

I know he doesn't do any free signings... he is too big of a moneymaker. I will have to follow FanHQ to see if he is going to attend that anymore...

I would assume about the same amount of people. Line wrapped around the store and even went a little bit outside. I got there at 10 and was about #50 or so in line.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Needless to say there won't be any Perk pick-ups for a while ::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::

Sorry, I just had to "vent" a little.

IMO, unless there was a demand that FanHQ couldnt meet with the first private signing last month, they wont do another of Thome this year, wouldnt make sense.
