1960s MN Twins items

[HoofHearted]

I thought I'd share a set of MN Twins postcards that I've had since the mid-60s. The cards were printed by the ASCO corporation. I love to pull these out once in a while and reminisce about Harmon hitting his towering home runs at Metropolitan Stadium...

Very nice, I've never seen those bf.
Thx for posting.

Asco put out 5 different photo or postcard sets - you can see examples of more in my Killebrew photo collection:

I also had a Senators/Twins type collection for a while, which I discontinued in favor of focusing only on Harmon. I still have some of those cards available if you're interested, also on my Photobucket page:

"Killer" line up of photos, Karl! Very nice collection you have going!

[HoofHearted]

And more great photos of Sir Rodney I've not seen before. I'm liking the addtions to this thread!

I'm the original owner of this unopened packet of 1969 Twins photos which I bought at Met Stadium. I just can't bring myself to open it.
This must be the same set of photos from which the last Carew photo came...

[HoofHearted]

What the heck, while I'm at it, I see some more '60s Twins stuff I can add here:

1963 and 1969 Twins autos:





and a 1969 yearbook

Yep, same set.

[FireGardy]

This one is from a later set.

Hey! Thanks for sharing the pic of the entire set! Now I finally know what's inside. I saved your image -- hope you don't mind.

Larry, I wasn't sure if you were asking me this question, but I do not have any extras of this set. Perhaps someone else may have them...

I have the complete 1965 Asco set MINUS THE KILLEBREW that I'd sell for $20postpaid - it's in apparent EXMT or NRMT shape, however the cards are slightly wavy as though they were exposed to humidity at some point (but there are NO stains or fading - just some waviness).

I'd sell just the Oliva from the 1965 set for $10 postpaid.


I also have the Oliva and Kaat from the 1968 Asco set - both are NRMT or better. I'd sell the Oliva for $10 postpaid, the Kaat for $6 postpaid.

I also have a team-issued 4x5 of Killebrew from the "1972-77" set - it's EXMT or NRMT, and I'd sell it for $7 postpaid.

I've uploaded pix to:

I was paging through an old Sports Collectors Bible and saw that there are two size versions of 3 of the blue bordered Asco postcards (Carew and two others). Has anyone ever seen these before?

This isn't from the 60s, but an interesting set.

A scorecard from a Dean Chance one hitter in MN on Sept 10, 1962.

Here's a scored program from game 2 of the 1965 World Series in MN. Koufax started, and lost, this game after missing game 1 due to Yom Kippur

Doug

[ALR-bishop]

There was a thread on CU about would you rather have Gibson or Koufax pitching...for a career, a year, a game...most went with Koufax, but some one did say that if it was Yom Kippur they'd take Gibson

[doug.goodman]

After the Yom Kippur game, during which Drysdale got shelled, a reporter supposedly asked Walter Alston if he wished that Drysdale was Jewish.

Doug,

Thanks for sharing the '62 and '65 Twins programs. I love 'em! It's neat to see how others score the games. I see you have the weather, etc. at game time. Great idea!

[HoofHearted]

In post #8 above, did any one notice that at the bottom right of the 1969 autos is a "John Mauer" over the the "John Mauer, Clinic" title? Is that any relation to Joe??

You're welcome.

I didn't actually score either of those games, I was born in 1963.

I collect scored scorecards / programs, and there are almost as many styles of scorekeeping as there are scorekeepers.

Amen. Totally agree.
