Today was the Twin Cities Sports Collectors Club monthly card show.  I have been going to the show for years but just recently decided to become a member.  A life member at that.  Dave B and his crew do a great job when autograph guests are there.  A number of dealers there recognize me from over the years and are always kind to me.  It is a great group of people!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Today the TCSCC had a couple autograph guests.  One was the Twins radio broadcaster for a number of years, John Gordon.  Gordo has been calling Twins games since 1987 and I fell asleep a number of times listening to him and the late Herb Carneal calling the games.  John is retiring after this season so I thought this would be a cool way to get some of the Twins team cards signed for my team sets I have been working on.  They were accepting donations for his autograph which went to a favorite charity of his, Fellowship of Christian Athletes.  I got there and purchased a photo and had five cards to get signed.  John was his normal, friendly self and graciously signed everything with “Touch ’em All!”  I donated $30 for the following autographs:<\/div>\n
OMLB
8×10 photo of him in the Target Field stands<\/div>\n
2001 Team Card<\/div>\n
2003 Team Card (“Oh!  This was taken at the Metrodome!”)<\/div>\n
2007 Team Card<\/div>\n
2010 Franchise History<\/div>\n
and Cami wanted a card for her to which he signed “To Camden, ‘Touch ’em All!'”<\/div>\n
That was a neat way to knock off some of the team cards I needed for my set.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Later on in the day the TCSCC also had 1980 US Olympic Hockey player Buzz Schneider signing autographs for $5 each.  Since I had the two Sports Illustrated magazines with the Olympic hockey team on it signed by four guys on each already, I thought I would get Buzz to sign them too.  He was very nice and shook my hand after signing each one.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While killing time between guests, I chatted with Mike and enjoyed talking with him and a couple dealers there.  I am already looking forward to next month when Mike Ramsey will be there and I can get him on the SI magazines too!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
