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

Sweet mailday. Love ginter plates. The frame adds to them. I've tried winning a few Twins, my only one is Pavano. Nice color on Gutierrez Chrome autos.

On another note, one of the red Tosoni BGS 9.5's sold on ebay. Was so used to seeing 3 of them up all the time, was shocked that only two are up now. Sold for way more than I thought, $115. STILL ONE OF THE GREAT COLLECTING FEATS, THAT FLIGHT AT ONE TIME OWNED ALL FIVE AND THEY ALL GRADED 9.5.

Twins up 7-0, Sox down 6-1!

Revere with his MLB debut tonight and Thome with another homer. Good game to go to and have stub from for those who went. Nice to pick up a game tonight on White Sox.

I'm hoping my wife has the ticket in good shape. Would be nice to have Ben sign it at Twinsfest!

I was at the game and had a lot of fun. I have a very nice looking stub that I will have Revere sign at TwinsFest. I'm sure my gf will do the same haha

Debut MLB ticket stubbs are great to have. Maybe Ben will do some local signings soon.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

I have one from Mauer's first game--but can't find it now!

::facepalm::

I also have stubs this year from Opening Day, Anthony Slama's debut, Jim Thome's passing of Killebrew, and Denard Span's 3 triple game. I plan on getting Slama and Span to sign those two, and really hoping that we bring back Thome for one more year.

Dunce with another gem. Should have picked up more of his stuff when it was dirt cheap. Right now he has to be in top 3 of rotation if they make the playoffs. With Liarano and Pavano. Any word on how long Baker is out? Thome out last night. Seems they are getting hit with injuries every other day now. I read where Morneau says he will be back. Is interesting how well they play with out him.

I have the tie breaker, but I didn't go to it.

I have Terry Tiffee's debut (about the best I have been too...)
I have what was supposed to be the last game at the Metrodome...
I Have Scott Baker's 6 inning no hitter, which he blew (I have 2 and one actually has him on it. Guess who is signing it for me?)
I have the first ever game at Target Field, which I might ask Oakes and Ewing to sign it for me, along with whoever got the first hit

I don't have the first Twins game, because we had printouts... I might buy one on eBay

Got a new Gaetti auto coming into the fold. Will post scan when it's here!

Circle G style?

Anyone score any T 206 stuff yet? Pretty good selection of Twins in it. Kubel and Tolbert have autos in it from what I've seen so far. I got a Kubel on way. TwinsBB must be cleaning up on Perkins stuff in it.

I only buy the Circle G style, unless it's a certified inserted auto. (Like Topps All Time Fan Favorites--but I have that one) I went through a couple of 206 Blasters, but have only pulled base of some Twins. No minis or inserts.

Posted it in the Pick-Up thread, but thought I should show it here, too. I loved watching him play when I was growing up.

Nice Kirby

Saw Matt Fox was claimed by Red Sox.

 

[TGutta]

I really like that Kirby. I have wanted to start picking up some of his stuff for awhile now. Just got my first RC of his in the mail about a week ago. Sox lost again today to give us a 6 game lead. At this point if we can keep it there over the weekend, even being swept by Chicago would still leave us up 3 games, and I don't see that happening. It's never over until it's over, but things are looking really good for us right now. We should just focus on winning games and getting everybody healthy.

Dang, that's beautiful. When it came to the on-card stuff for card companies, Kirby's auto is really nice. When you got him IP at Twinsfest or somewhere, not so pretty. And he would autograph anywhere. I swear he always tried to sign on the dark part of a photo.


Here's my newest Circle G...

I actually like how you can see where he ran off the card with his "i" but dotted it anyway.

 

[matchpenalty]

Nice, I had to pick up Circle G Gaetti auto. They look so cool.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

What did you pick up?

 

[matchpenalty]

Will post a picture of Twins recent gets soon.

Looks like the bats didn't make it to Cleveland tonight.
