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

[TGutta]

Here are some of my latest pickups/endeavors:

Ben Revere Blue Refractor /99, Miguel Sano Green X-Fractor, Alex Wimmers Platinum Auto

Denard Span Diamond Giveaway Factory Set Limited Edition - Got the whole team set for $4.99 shipped on eBay so I guess that's good

As I was talking about with Mudpuddlehuddle earlier I was on the field after Wednesday night's game as well. Here are a couple pics that I got..

Also went to the Joe Nathan signing at Fan HQ on Thursday night. Possibly his last time being with the Twins so there may not be too many of these inscriptions, which I thought was pretty cool.

Gardy wants Nathan and Cuddy back on the roster. I still have to meet them both before they go away, although I wouldn't doubt it if Cuddy frequented TwinsFest after retirement.

It's crazy that he has been on the team since either '01 or '02. He played in the first ever game I went too and is the only current guy on the roster to do so.

Mud's buddy has 2 Valencia Sterling Plates.

Morton show is bleak... Absolutely no wax, and no memorabilia. Saw Mud's friend and the Valencia GU bat.

I managed to sell 3 cards for $5. I bought 30 or so for $7. Most were quarter and dollar cards.

My best sale was a Topps Chrome Toby Gerhart RC for $3.

Slette: Didn't see any of what you need
TG: PM me your addy.

Taking a break before heading back to sell more. My buddy made $15 on his Verlander sparkle and 2 manu patches which isn't terrible.

Did he have his Bowman Chris Parmele Refractor auto out there? Curious what price tag he has on that. Otherwise I can just ask him later.

Parm doesn't have a BC auto that I know of. He had a regular Bowman Orange for $30. He had a Star Wars sketch card that my friend bought

Went back one more time... made a kid's day, I sold him a Jason Heyward Bowman Chrome RC logo for a buck.

Someone brought out the Vintage... there were a TON of well-conditioned Fleer and Bowman cards. I also saw a TON of Joe DiMaggio autos, a Mantle and some others all on 8x10s. My friend bought an Earl Weaver and I will frame it up. The people that had them are locals so next show they will have them again. I want to buy a DiMaggio.

I bought 2 packs of cards and found a Perk high end auto that I didn't have so I bought it. Otherwise, the show sucked. Absolutely no deals because the dealers like to charge a "Local" premium, and it was mostly football. I barely got any play on my prospect cards... one guy bought a Paul Goldschmidt off me for a buck, that that was it.

Yes they were auto'd, I assume he was trying to move them since he had them there under a display case.

The only problem is that I cannot accept paypal payments until tomorrow afternoon so anyone who wants something won't be able to pay me.

We are going to try tomorrow as well... tomorrow will be crappier and I probably won't even bring my wallet.

What were his prices?

No clue. I can ask tomorrow if he is there, but Saturday is the best day for these shows. Sunday is when only the locals hang around.

Bert loved signing the HotFoot inscription. He told me some good ol stories while people behind me were getting angry at me for holding up the line. Berts a good guy. He charges a bit much for his autos but still a helluva fun guy to chat with.

Bert Blyleven Bat from Valley West signing, guy was hilarious

Ben Revere Bat - FanHQ private signing (No dropoffs for this one)

Jim Thome Gypsy Queen

Bert Blyleven 1987 Fleer for set

Allen Anderson 1987 Fleer for Set

I found my Chris Parmalee IP card that I bought for a dollar a year or so ago.

Here is my haul from the show. My friend did WAY better but he spent all of his money...

Cards Sold:
2011 Topps Starlin Castro/2011
2011 Bowman Chrome Paul Goldschmidt
2010 Topps Chrome Toby Gerhart RC
2010 Bowman Chrome Jason Heyward RC logo (this was an interesting sell)

Total: $6

Cards Bought:

2002 Bowman Chrome Denard Span x2 (one is going to TG)
2002 Bowman Denard Span
2007 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection Rookie Signatures Glen Perkins auto/299
1997 Donruss Studio Brady Anderson Hard Hats/5000
1997 Donruss Studio Scott Rolen Hard Hats/5000
1997 Leaf Donnie Wall X-Axis Die Cut
1985 Classic Mark McGwire (RC)
1999 Topps Tek Vladimir Guerrero 13a -P20
2000 Fleer Focus Star Studded Edgerrin James
1967 Topps Ken Holtzman

Total Spent: $13

Packs:

1-1990 Pro Cards
1-1997 Donruss Football

Total Spent: $3

I guess after everything gets added up, I spent $10. Most of the cards I brought home are going up for sale. I need the Perk, the Span Chrome and the Span Regular and the Holtzman.

My buddy ended up buying a Star Wars Sketch card and an Earl Weaver 8x10 that I am going to frame for him. The lady he bought it from had like 5 Joe Dimaggio autos (8x10) and some were also signed by Dom... She also had some crazy (and I mean, crazy) vintage in awesome condition.

One guy had a really nice '48 Leaf Babe Ruth too.

How bad can Panini's CS get that they can't ship a card that's in stock and been made a long time ago- Wimmers CP auto- in 7 weeks? Topps seems to ship anything they already have in 2 weeks, even if their signature confirmation shipping can take more than 2 weeks

 

[Mudpuddlehuddle]

Sorry my bad. Ya the Parm wasn't auto'd just habit. 30$ is about what I thought he'd have it for.

Wasn't sure if he meant the Valencia plate autos or the Parmelee

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Which Parm?

He had one of these marked for 30. I would have bought in a heartbeat if it was $15 but $30 was too steep for me.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-BOWMAN-PROSP ... 19c91ed480

He had a Pirates GU bat too that I forgot to ask about. I was interested in the T.Gardy bat but he wanted $100 for it.
