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

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.

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.

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...

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.[/quote:2j6xhhvo]

That sucks. I hope someone has one in the next few months.

Ya but Mounted Memories will be trying to promote one when the time comes he hits 600. When there is money to be made I bet they at least try to do one more but the tickets will go fast and it won't be cheap. The inscription price will be almost as much as the auto ticket i'm guessing.

Nope. I smashed the back glass on my vehicle (on accident). I will have to pay for it now. I am actually more interested in him now because so many cool cards are coming through for sale. Can't wait to add a few to the collection

I did get a Perk card in though...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWNX:IT

I love these cards. I wish I had more

Took a while to ship though

That's awesome

What are you going to have him sign?

 

[TGutta]

I have no idea haha. Maybe an 8x10 and a card. Might seem weird but I actually haven't had him sign any cards IP before. I've gotten him on a hat, OMLB, Game-Used Batting Gloves, and a Ticket Stub from his 3 Triple game, but no cards or 8x10.

 

[Guest]

I'll definitely have to go to that one. Gotta get my other plate and an 8*10 signed

 

[TwinsWin]

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.

16x20, im now looking at framing it i just dont know how i want to get it done yet

Just a suggestion, go to Michaels, whether or not you decide to have them do it, and mess around with the frames and the mats and see what looks best with your pic. I did that with my signed PGA pin flag and I couldnt be happier. Just make sure that you get a 50% off custom frame coupon before committing to getting it done there, again, if you choose.

Just duct tape and tarp it until you have the funds. Get a rear window for dirt cheap until you have the funds to put it what you want. Remember its just a vehicle, and you more then likely will have a different one in a couple years. Doesn't have to look pretty, just transport from A to B

Finally got the Plouffe plate uncirculated slab opened- still in a closed sleeve so nothing changed with it, so hopefully he'll sign it today or in the other 4 games I have in August
