After Twinsfest 2009, I decided to change my approach to this event.  <\/font>Instead of playing catch up after not obtaining a \u201cbig\u201d autograph, I decided to go after a lot of other autographs in hopes of knocking off as many of the Topps Twins cards I needed.
I left work Friday afternoon at 1pm to get there and wait for the 4pm opening.  <\/font>I knew I was not going to attempt the Mauer line or even wait in the long Morneau line that would have already been forming over an hour and a half before he was going to start signing.  <\/font>I really wanted to try to get my 1982 Topps Twins Rookies card signed by Hrbek and Laudner this weekend to go along with it being already signed by Lenny Faedo.  <\/font>I got in the Hrbek\/Oliva line right as I walked in.  <\/font>I ended up getting the Twins Rookies card signed by Hrbek who asked how I got Faedo and then a 1965 card signed by Oliva.  <\/font>I was so early in that line that I decided to head down to field level and got in line for Guerrier\/Crain\/Baker.  <\/font>I only needed a Baker card and photo signed and when I got to him, he was nice enough to sign both.  <\/font>I got Guerrier and Crain on cards that I will offer in trade.  <\/font>I then headed to the other side of the field level stations and got in the Anderson\/Duensing\/Ullger line.  <\/font>I needed Andy on two photos and he signed them.  <\/font>I got Duensing on a baseball and a card and skipped Ullger.  <\/font>That pretty much finished the first groups of signers.  <\/font>For the next period, I decided to get in the Newman\/Manship\/White line.  <\/font>I was able to get Jeff Manship on a ticket from his ML Debut game and he signed it with that.  <\/font>It looks cool.  <\/font>I got Newmie on two cards I needed for my Topps Twins project.  <\/font>I skipped Jerry White.  <\/font>I took the opportunity to look for a 1962 Topps card of Mudcat Grant.  <\/font>I knew he was going to be there and a friend from SCN needed him for his 1962 set.  <\/font>After looking and asking at about 4 dealers, I found one.  <\/font>I then headed to Fergie Jenkin\u2019s booth where Mudcat was signing.  <\/font>He signed the card and was as nice as could be.  <\/font>What a great guy.  <\/font>I then headed to the Harris\/Koskie\/Liriano line.  <\/font>Liriano was a no show but I still was able to get a card signed by Koskie and another by Harris.  <\/font>For the final time slot, I went through the Neshek\/Perkins\/Kubel\/Young line.  <\/font>I got a card signed by Pat and asked him if he was enjoying Twinsfest knowing he does.  <\/font>He smiled and affirmed by thoughts.  <\/font>He is one of the best signers and friend of autograph collectors.  <\/font>I got Kubel to sign his 2009 Topps Heritage card and he looked at it like he had not seen it before.  <\/font>Then I got Perkins on a card and finally got to Delmon Young.  <\/font>Delmon is one of the hardest non-M & M Boy to get on the team.  <\/font>He was in a great mood as I showed him two cards and asked him which was his favorite and was going to have him sign that one.  <\/font>He said they both were and signed both for me.  <\/font>That was an awesome end to Twinsfest 2010 Day One!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
