March Pick Ups

Love those projects, guys. And some of those Twins players look like they really take pride in their signatures. Nice to see these days.

One of the nicest '10 OD signed photos of the Twins I've seen (surprisingly, there are quite a few). That's a really nice Mauer.

I may have gotten it in hand in February, but I'm just getting around to posting. I hit a cheap BIN on ebay for a 1952 Yankees @ Senators scorecard with Mantle...price was something like $29.99.

One of the auction photos showed part of a pencil signature. I couldn't tell for sure at the time, but after I requested additional photos it turns out the scorecard is signed in pencil by Senators owner and 1946 Baseball HOF inductee, Clark Griffith.

Not too bad for less than $40.

(I'll add a photo this evening)

You arent the only hard up Mariners fan on here. I live and die with them every night during the season (mostly die) and I LOVE the plate. Even got Jack Z on there! Me and my boys are going to the last Spring game of the Season in Salt Lake City (where I played my college ball) and were going to see if we cant get some autographs. We went to one game last year and got John Jaso, Jason Vargas and Tom Wilhelmson to sign, all were VERY nice and polite which was refreshing to see!

Cool item!

Do you actually live in the Seattle area? If so, I didn't realize that. If you are ever near downtown, please arrange some time to stop by.

Yea I am an Ms fan to and its brutal. I live in Milwaukee now, so I got my tickets to see them in a few weeks when they play the White Sox. I like to brag that I get to see them before all my Seattle Freinds due to them starting the season on the road.

Thanks Rhys! - My wife and I went to Phoenix for a week. 7 days and 7 games. That was a great time! I think just about all of the Mariners were very pleasant and signed autographs even took pictures with them.

The only guy that was kind of standoffish was Guti. He kind of stayed away from all the fans (at least while we were there).

Scott - We live Downtown!

You can thank Harmon Killebrew for that. He would chew out players at twinsfest every year because the young guys had people waiting in their lines for an autograph only to get chicken scratch on their item. Look at early vs current autos of guys like Torii Hunter and Michael Cuddyer and you will see what I mean.

Yeah, I assumed so given that it's the Twins. I just don't like to being Harmon into EVERY comment I make.

OK too give credit where credit is due....RIP #3. One of the few guys I have gotten in person who was actually a joy to be around.
