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

[TBTwinsFan]

Nice stuff Mud. Cuddy say anything about the pitching photo? That looks sweet. The game used bat with Twins TF logo ball transfer is about as good as it gets.

Who would have ever thought we would be getting reports Perkins is getting a little more fan friendly. Looks like he had a bad game tonight. His numbers this year have been great. He probably knows he has chance to get paid this off season.

I know Perk had his attitude problems turned around from the first day I met him. He was joking with the fans and whatnot.

You gonna post your Perk scores TB?

I wonder with his sucking, Nishi would still pack the house if he did a public at FanHQ?

Man it seems Cuddy is really popular with the Twins fans. With all his signings and being so good ttm. He gets overflow crowds where ever he signs.

I bought another Cuddy game used bat while in line for the Bobbles since they were only 150$ and you got a placque with it free that they usually sell for 120$. already sold the placque to get some of my money back. Well here is some of my successes from today. My other Cuddy Gamer bat will be for sale now. I like this one much better. Oh and my extra John Gordon Balls will be for sale or trade if anyones interested.

I'm pretty sure I was right there sitting in front of you. Do you remember 2 people sitting on a blanket?

Ya I do actually at the game waiting for bobbles? All those people near me were from the Neshek boards. I would have been more cordial if I knew you were from these forums. 3 of us standing there ended up getting Cuddy gamers that day haha

Yeah I thought I recognized you but after showing off your Cuddy bat I realized that it was you. I actually got one of those same plaques that you're talking about just the other day when I bought my Span Bat.

Nice stuff GB. Pretty cool Span did his full name auto for you on photo. Didn't someone here get him to do that on a Ginter card? can't remember who.
One of best parts of signings is always seeing what people are getting done.
TB you get any video or pics from Perk signing.

I got him on a T206. I saw a lot of people around me at Span just getting base 2010 and 2011 Topps signed.

Were the gamer bats $150 or $200? The lady there said $200 for the Spans. I was hoping just for some batting gloves for $50-$75 or something

Guy quoted me the Cuddyer, Kubel and Span bats to me for 150$

In the past when I planned on buying one they were always $200-$225, but when I was there the other day they had several for $150. The one that I bought was $200 because it is barely even cracked (literally). I'm not sure that I have ever known of them having Game-Used Batting Gloves there. I got mine about a year ago for $25 from a guy who works in the clubhouse and had Span sign them at TwinsFest. He knew they were his right when I handed them to him.

Not sure then how she got $200. Do the Twins proshops around here sell game used batting gloves or bats? I know FanHQ had some stuff in their case on the left of the counter, was slightly unorganized so I didn't look for too long, there were GU cleats of either Crain or Santana for $50 I think

Still know him? I'd buy them all day for $25. How do you go about asking them for batting gloves, since she said they give them away. Before/after, wait for him to ask/ask him for them, etc?

Got the Morris and a Crain Platinum jsy/auto today. Maybe will get a scan tomorrow if I'm more awake

No it was actually off of ebay. I messaged the guy about them who had them for sale and we talked about them for awhile. He knew the clubhouse guy and was selling them for him.

Ya he liked it. Picked it up and looked for a bit before signing that. Told him i'd give him a copy of it at his next signing. My wife was having that signed or I would have chatted with him more about it they were really trying to get people through the line.

Had a couple more successes just now.

Buddy helped me out at Nationals and just called me. This purchase of mine passed PSA/DNA

Won this auction tonight. The auto is a refractor /500

It was quite sad waiting in line for the signing, the people were trying to figure out who Erickson, Morris, and Gladden were. The dad didn't know if they were current or old guys, and the kid in front of them said Gladden was a pitcher in the WS ::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: :benson:

Pics are taken, getting them on PB. Nothing seen is FT except for the Matt Bashore base card :lol: :lol:

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Here is the puck. Judging by the 8x10s the guy had, I don't know if it's an official puck or something he had pre-ordered. Signed in gold ink, looks great! I might try to find more and add guys as I go along.

This is a piece of the Dome roof that was given away at Metrodome tours. I got it for a good price. I either plan to frame it, or get it signed by someone and then frame it.

Pretty self explanatory...

2006 Just Limited/50. Sticker is sealed still. Been wanting this one for a while.

The only other Perk autos I got at the show. Only got them because they were cheap, and I said I would stock up on these.

These are the base cards I grabbed. The 2010 Heritage got dinged, but I can use it for IP or something.

IP - 2006 Rock Cats, 2007 Red Wings, 2008 Goudy, 2007 Heritage

Random Crap. Bought a Grab bag that had the Bashore, Hamilton (Patterson on Back), and the Refractor auto. The Valencia I got for a buck and am going to get it signed.

Couple grabs for the '58 set. Robin Roberts and Larry Jackson.

I saw this for cheap and nabbed it.

Just because it looked cool...

 

[TBTwinsFan]

1/1. I know these aren't anything special, but for a buck I think it's cool.

First Span cert I love the Ballpark Jersey autos.

Jesse Crain Aspirations Die Cut Auto/20. I know he isn't a Twin anymore but I figured I better nab it.

I did open 3 packs, but got nothing. I also have 2 cards that aren't too important (a random Gold Rush card and a Just Minors Revere) that I misplaced in the vehicle.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Oh, a good share of the stuff in the pics with price tags I got discounted. I think the only thing I paid full sticker for was the Perk/50. Got it from the guy with the TV. He was awesome to talk too. He had Knudson minor league cards.

 

[TGutta]

Awesome stuff TB! I remember walking by and seeing that Perk BGS. I wish I could have stayed longer because I'm sure there was some Span stuff that I need but I'll go back another time. Should hopefully have my stuff up in a minute..

Thanks TG! I wish I had more money. There were so many other things I wanted. A few Perk autos I didn't have. I tried to keep away from stuff I had this go around.

I will be back in October for the show

You should upload the Span vid. That would be a cool one to see.
