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

[TBTwinsFan]

I just bought, yesterday, a JJ plate for $10 + shipping.

Price isn't ideal, but with unsigned plates, I have to get them or never see them again. Seller rejected my offer of 10

Oh, I know. Any plate under $20 dlvd is solid !

More mail from this week:

My original post on that thread was "Since Shako single-handedly ruined the first Twinsfest thread, I feel that version 2.0 is needed". I also had 3 other posts in that thread deleted within minutes because a Mod was power-hungry. The basis of the 3 posts that got deleted were that the mods encourage childish behavior on the boards, and the quality of posters will not change until the mods stop encouraging childish behavior, and prevent the board from going "pg-13". He replied to me on Facebook saying "we cannot ban anyone for this behavior" to which I replied "I am not asking you to ban anyone, I am asking that you send a message to the people who feel the need to ruin every thread, to get them to stop" He said he cannot do that because it would offend the person . My brother and I have deleted our account on PN because it is obvious that the board is sinking, and if the "Active mods" don't give 2 XXXXs about the site, we shouldn't either.

so your saying i dont give 2 XXXXs about the board?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Let's not argue in the thread about the other site.

 

[cgilmo]

Just to be clear. You guys are pitching about a different board and not fcb right?

 

[devin]

im not trying to get a huge thing going here its just the fact that he is butthurt over some guy that will troll but the fact that he said the mods (which i am on the site) dont give 2 XXXXs about it just kinda pisses me off

also i have the convo you had with that mod on facebook

"Justin Rinaldi
c'mon let me speek my mind on the boards, its not PG13

9:00pm
All it would have done is start an argument.

9:05pm
Justin Rinaldi
then ban shako for troll
or make me mod and Ill do it"

and this is were i end this discussion on this

and yes gilmo its about a different site we are not XXXXXing about fcb

Yes. It has nothing to do with FCB at all.

TB,
Nice Perk collection. I got a Sano collection building up but I know that I won't be able to keep up with market rate on his stuff. Congrats on sticking through with Perk.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Thanks!

The collection is coming along nicely. I will start grading some of my 1/1s and rarer stuff here shortly.

Good luck with your Sano collection. It's always tough to collect a player who doesn't have a ton of stuff out

 

[devin]

speaking fo your perk collection id love to see everything you got of him, you got a bucket with the scans?

If he doesn't have a photo bucket I would start a flickr or slickpick. I can't see PB holding up much longer. I personally prefer slickpick. Unlimited uploads and you can blog, etc.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I have a bucket but it hasn't been updated in a few years as far as the Perkins collection, and the scans are quite crappy.

I can bring up a few if you are interested.

Speaking of my Perk collection, I located a Perkins hat today (while totally looking for something else). I requested the hologram # to see if it's GU or GI, but either way the price is right there for me, so I will be bringing that home within the next couple weeks.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I got some info back on the Perkins hat... It's kinda weird.

It is his hat, and it is authenticated, but I noticed 3 things about it.

-It's authenticated as game issued, but shows use (I know that's not totally uncommon, as the authenticator has to see it used to classify it as used)
-The authentication date is September 11th 2009, against the A's. MLB teams wore special hats, and this one is a regular hat.
-Perkins was also demoted at the end of August for the rest of the season, so he couldn't have worn it at the game.

I'll still buy it, but it's going to take a little investigating to figure out what the deal is.

 

[devin]

if it says gi the hat may not be from sep 11th maybe a earlier game

 

[clarkzac]

My thoughts as well Devin. I'm guessing that it was in the clubhouse after he was demoted so they marked it as GI. I had a Duensing hat that was GI but it was clear that it game used with all of the sweat stains.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

This one is definitely well used.

I will be getting it within the next couple weeks. It's my first Perkins hat, and I believe my 3rd overall. I will probably leave it unsigned.

My goal is to someday put together a locker display with my Perk memorabilia.

Just thought I would share these with the Twins collectors..
