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

Nice breakdown TB. Does look like Perk does do a lot of tweaks in his graph. Yeah, those sticker autos are from old signing with Topps. Probably see more of those. I like the new version where GP are combined. Show the ones you just got done at Best Buy off!
Perk got the cheap win last night, but had blown the hold to get it. 3 bad games in row now for him.
Nishi with a big hit last night. Maybe the tide will turn for him.
Slowey back up. I always liked him. GC you think Dink will get another look with the big club this year?

BIG props to Joe Nathan, all time Twins saves leading. Lets see your Nathan auto stashes!!!

I have one Joe Nathan auto... not scanned. It came in a care package from an FCBer. One of the coolest I have ever gotten.

What is Nathan up too this weekend? I overheard on the 5 (morning) news he was doing something interesting.

I don't think Perk has any other autos in 2010 or 2011. In fact, the 2011 auto is his only card that I know of (I think there is a parallel but I am not sure). Of course, I have 7 IP examples from 2011.

I liked his older signature the best, but it seems to get tight on the edges on IP cards that are regular view and not landscape. His new one centers just nicely on a lot of stuff:

These cards look beautiful in person. The Just Minors is probably the ugliest :lol: but it's his first ever card so I had to have it signed. I was going for the set at one point so I had my buddy get this signed for me at the Caravan. He was pretty upset because he couldn't get Perk on his bat, but I took him to TwinsFest and we fixed that.

That's something I have to do is show you guys some pics of his bat. It's not something I would have done, but it's really cool. It's a promo bat from 2006 that he got almost filled up with signatures. He actually got on the News (Fox 9 at 9) for his bat. What happened was I showed him who Jim Kaat was and he wanted his signature (Kaat was done signing and just hanging around) so he went to Kaat, and then the handler, who said "I don't care." Dawn Mitchell was there and she wanted the signing on camera.

:lol: sorry for the ramble...

Any scoop on what Clyde and MLB authenticators scored from Nathan save record last night. I would think they got the final out ball and Joe's jersey for Twins displays in future. He has a good chance to get in the Twins little HOF bit hey have going.

I got Arcia, Hendriks, and Benson. I totally forgot about Sano, and I thought Hicks sucked so I didn't consider him.

Based on our current roster and prospects, what will the Twins infield/catcher look like in 2013?

This is for the Gopher fans. He talks a lot about Minnesota in it. Also talks about Eric Decker and Kirby Puckett.

Really glad he made it to the pros/NY-Penn AS game. He is a really cool person. His dad is awesome too. I can thank him and his dad for getting me so interested in Gopher baseball. Any word if he is in EEE? He only has 1 pro card.

I got all of the players right, just not in the spot that I thought La Velle would have them. If I were making a Top 5 of those players it would go..

1 - Sano
2 - Benson
3 - Hicks
4 - Arcia
5 - Hendriks
