Re: 2010 twinsfest

Just got back from today. Picked up a 09 Span LVS and a 09 Duensing Jersey. Along with a Carew ball that I waited in line for and they MLB Authenticated it for me. Pretty good day overall. Now to go back tomorrow and win that 09 Mauer in the live auction.

The Pro Shop booth has a 2007 Alternate blue GU Mauer jersey for $2000. It was still there at the close of Twinsfest tonight.

You going now. Are you done ? Tell Jim Roger said Hey!

I went through his line this morning. That man can crank out his autograph at an incredible pace. Unfortunately the staffer wouldn't allow him to personalize the ball. So it won't do me any good.

Re: 2010 twinsfest

I also went to day#1 of twinsfest.But i thought the proshop had the most items i have ever seen there.But that's not saying much as like last year they had one small rack of jerseys of bit players and wanted what i thought way too much for them.And they had bases but that was it.But this year they did not have bases but they had hats,jerseys even some stars and alot of bats.But agian they were to me a little spendy for bit players.And of course no wonderkid or justin items.But there was plenty on the floor at the tables if you want to spend $3,000 for a game used justin jersey- .But then its proberly worth that,just not to me.In all in was a good show,nice turnout as fridays are usually the less busy day.But i think the hype around the wonderkid and the new stadium got alot of people there.And i just have to say i am not a big fan of thome.But i have to say it's very classy of him to attend the event as i am sure they did'nt expect him to.And it's funny as him being there took some attention from the kid.As i heard several people say they were planning to be in the kids line but changed to thome when they heard he was going to be there.I just wish my favorite twin butch wynegar would be at a show.

Re: 2010 twinsfest

I was there tonight for day #1 of twinsfest.I did not see the wonderkid signing any game used items.

Re: 2010 twinsfest

I just got back from Twinsfest. I've done the Mauer/Morneau thing enough in the past so that I don't have to endure their lines any longer. I heard Thome had quite a line as well. I hit the prospects table a few times (Hicks, Revere, etc.). Pretty decent lines for the prospects (kids and parents love the freebies). I also hit the Neshek, Perkins, Kubel and Young line (all for $15) which in true Twinsfest fashion started an hour before they arrived to sign. It actually seemed like fewer people as compared to Friday's past. I think tomorrow is going to be really crowded (last day for Mauer, Thome and a couple of other players). Sunday could be a bit slower this year.

Not much game used stuff on the floor this year. Pro Shop had its usual batch of jerseys and broken bats. Cheapest jerseys were $75, fringe players were $150 and solid starters around $200-250 (Baker, Kubel, etc.). Before anyone asks, no Mauer jerseys (no 2009s released to the public through the Pro Shops) and no Morneau jerseys.

I think the auction on Sunday should be very interesting with a Mauer GU bat and jersey among the items being auctioned off.

I'll try to update tomorrow.

Re: 2010 twinsfest

Yes you can bring a backpack as me and my brother bring one every year to it.And there is no coat check so people just leave thier coats on the stadium seats.Have fun

Does anyone know if your allowed to bring in a duffel bag or backpack? I have a bunch of stuff I would like to bring with, but dont want to carry it all around. Would like to just put it in a backpack or something.

Re: 2010 twinsfest

By the way,if you promise not to hit me for anything i might have said on here.I will be there friday with my brother.We won't be hard to miss.As we will be the only one's wearing yankees items there.

Re: 2010 twinsfest

I know you did not ask me.But my brother has been to those live auctions at twins fest.And as live auctions go the bidding goes way over what the value of the item is.You get emotions,and as you see on this thread itself you get the compititive nature of it.I think the wonder kids bat because of the hype around him now, will go for $3,000 easily maybe $5,000.I think it's funny the opening bid is $200.That won't even be the first bid on it.If i was a kid fan and had deep pockets i would bid the $5,000,on the first bid.I would go for the knockout punch right away.I have seen it done in person before at live auctions like at the car show in arizona.And if you planned on spending at least that much anyway,why not do it right away.

How much do you think it will go for??
