Today Kent Hrbek was signing autographs at the Twin Cities Sports Collectors Show in Bloomington. \u00a0They were expecting a big turnout so Cami and I headed down to make sure we were there at 9am when tickets went on sale. \u00a0We met up with Joel B (brad0112 on SCN) as he was planning on being there too. \u00a0I had brought down a few items plus had a fellow SCN member send me some cards to get signed so I was hoping to get through the line twice and was able to. \u00a0The items I got signed today were:
\n1995 Twins Schedule Poster- This is now signed by all players on it with their uniform numbers including (Puckett, Oliva, Killebrew, Carew and now Hrbek)
\n11.01.1991 Sports Illustrated
\n#14 Metrodome Seatback (I had paid for 14 inscriptions to be written on it. \u00a0When I got to him he said he was there “to sign autographs and not write a novel” and that I “could write them on there”. \u00a0I was a little bummed but he did write “World Champs 87\/91” on it.
\n1982 Topps rookie already signed by Tim Laudner
\n2 baseball cards for Cami
\n5 baseball cards for Robert T (lutherlafy on SCN).<\/p>\n
After we were done getting autographs, Joel and I went to a dealer that was set up selling off a collection of really nice signed baseballs. \u00a0Unfortunately the owner ran into some health problems and had to liquidate his collection. \u00a0There were some really nice baseballs for sale. \u00a0I purchased the following gorgeous baseballs:
\nBrooks Robinson – “1964 MVP \u00a016 Gold Gloves \u00a01983 HOF”
\nCurt Gowdy
\nHal Newhouser – “AL MVP 44-45 – HOF ’92”
\nWillie Stargell – “HOF 1988 \u00a0475 HR \u00a01540 RBI \u00a0.282 AVE”
\nYogi Berra – “MVP 51-54-55 \u00a0 HOF 72”
\nAB Chandler
\nThese baseballs are near mint snow white OAL\/ONL baseballs that were stored in tubs and did not see the light of day in years. \u00a0The quality was unsurpassed by many. \u00a0I am really pleased. \u00a0My only regret was that I did not buy more! \u00a0Maybe next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
