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

[TBTwinsFan]

Got the 2010 Topps Twins Set Glen Perkins today, now I need last year's 2 versions and this year's Target Field version before I pursue more team setters.

(Thanks TGutta)

No problem. I will let you know if I pick up the team set with the Target Field stamp. I have been planning on picking up one while I can to grab the Span.

Ahh. That would be awesome if you sent me the Perk. I have an un-opened 09 HHH Dome set, but those were hard to get and I have it in the original packaging (I am that much of a nerd...) so hopefully someone, somewhere, busted their set and can send me the Perk (and the Dome card for that matter).

I will keep an eye out for Span's for you.

Perkins sent down, with BF coming in. So Loek Van Mil got the boot off the 40 man? is this confirmed. Isn't he the 7 footer? do we still have the shortest guy in Milb, can't recall his name off hand.

Wicked Nick on hill today. I hope he finds his late season magic again and gives Twins a few good starts down the strech.

 

[matchpenalty]

Wicked Nick back in Black burn!!!!

Saw his line. Looks like he is back. Show'em if you got em.

Pavano with tough loss today. Even with losing road trip still sitting up 4.5 I believe on White Sox.

So does it look like Loek Van Mil era never took off. Is he off the 40 man? Only got 1 card of him Ref chrome auto I think I paid 99 cents for.

My 2010 Twins Ginters of tougher ones so far...2 Kubel mini no #'s and one is bazooka back /25. Duensing autos I used to scoop up for $1-$2 now they jumped up a little. I do see Kubel redemptions are now live. Gotta get a few of those...

Good game today! Best regards, David

 

[TGutta]

Figured I could show off my mail today, should be getting some more REALLY nice stuff in the mail this week so look forward to that

Nice Span and Gibson...Span certs can be so cheap. I got a couple of those UD. Seen people get some cool web gem inscrptions from him.

Went to Pawsox-Red Wings game tonight. Did some graphing afterwards. Pretty big crowd. Neshek was great as usual got 3-3 and got Kyle Gibson on BP ball. Wish I had something better for him. I was surprised he was traveling with team still, knowing he is shut down for year. He signed for a bunch of people. Was hoping to get Dinkelman, but he went straight to bus. A few people had their Perkins cards ready. You know outcome those guys got. Nada...He just blew by as well. No surprise.
I'll post some pics tomorrow. It still amazes me how much Neshek signs. One guy I'm pretty sure he 3-4 pages of cards for him.

Few things from the game. Fox pitched really well. Perkins got rocked in his 2 innings, his fastball was mosty 86-87. Plouffe made a nice play at SS to bail him out. Jose Morales is a terrible catcher in the field. He has hard time keeping balls in front of him. Dinkelman has really good arm. I can see why Red Wings never win. They have no bats. You know your in trouble when Dinkelman is your #3 hitter and Brendan Harris is your clean up guy.

That is why they need to send their cards to.... MEEEEE!!!!!!

Perkins ticket out of town is punched, cant wait for the DBF to be out of the Twins organization.

Nice recap of the game. It's nice to actually hear something about the game instead of having to just check box scores all the time. I think there are quite a few players that could have been September call-ups if only they had been on the 40-man this year. Maybe that will change going into next year. Also thanks about the Gibson and Span, I had tried to win the Gibson a couple weeks back but glad I didn't, as I got this one for half the price.

P.S. If anybody happens to watch the game tonight I pulled off some tickets last night off of the twins website and I will be in Section 3 Row 3 wearing my Denard Span jersey

 

[Greg Cleveland]

I'm going tonight too. I have my brother's tix (Section 314, Row 1) Looking forward to the Twins doing some crushing this series.

Also got my scanner working, so I'll be posting pics of the auto collection. Maybe not today, but tomorrow for sure. Two of my boys finally head back to school tomorrow!

Here's a preview of scans to come. This was already in my Bucket. My Brian Dinkelman collection. I think all I need is the Orange/25 auto to complete the rainbow. If anyone finds one, (or if there's another variation I don't have) I'm interested!

 

[matchpenalty]

Nice Dinkelman collection! How did you score the super, have you had it awhile? I'm up to 3 Dinkelman autos, 2 reg and one ref. For $1 you can't be price on his stuff. So you have a red?

 

[Greg Cleveland]

I got the Super via Flightposite. Really miss seeing him around. What you see is what I have. I check every so often for the Red, but only see a lot of Reg. autos and Refractors. We'll see if he gets a cup of coffee later in September.

 

[matchpenalty]

You would think reds are out there somewhere. Always funny seeing the 3 people selling off the BGS 9.5 red Tosoni's on Ebay. You would think after 50th time trying to sell them for so much they would drop them. I would guess in normal auction those would fetch $50 on a very good day.

If you guys get a chance at Target Field check team shop and see what game used selection they have in and any prices.

I will try and check for you as I'm going to try and get there right when the gates open. I have a 20-game plan up in the 3rd deck but scored the 3rd row seats so I am going to see if I can get a couple auto's.

 

[matchpenalty]

I'm just curious if they have any 2010 game used jerseys out yet and what kind of coin they want for them. Probably a lot right now. Best time to get gamers cheap is once they traded/released. Then they knock prices way down.

Good luck on scoring some autos. How is Target Field inside for them. Do you see many players signing pregame?

There are always a handful of guys that will go down the first base line past the dugout and sign. My friend and her daughter went last weekend to the Angels game, they went down after the gates opened and Capps signed her ticket, first IP auto at a Twins game for her at the ripe ole age of 5. She was excited.

I will be at the game tonight and will see if there are any gamers at the shop and let you know. I do not recall seeing any at the shop there in past games, then again, I wasnt looking, but the pro shops in Roseville, Apple Valley and Minnetonka always seem to have plenty.

Yeah I know the last game that I was at I saw Span signing so that is my big goal But yeah I agree about the pro shops having stuff. The one in Minnetonka always has a nice variety of GU Bats, including Gomez last time I was there.

 

[matchpenalty]

Here are my gets from last night. One of these days I'll have to add up all my Neshek autos. Also got Rich Hill from Pawsox, he is a great signer. Can't wait for Gibson chrome autos to hit. I think he is supposed to have cards in Bowman Chrome or BCDP.

Span is a nice guy when he signs.
