Lots Of Twins. Three, As A Matter Of Fact

Periodically I monitor “The Bay” for any affordable Twins autographs or game used cards, and stumbled upon a lot of Twins cards up for auction that included a few AU cards that I needed, so I made mental tally and gixen’d an amount for them. Additional I noted the seller had another lot that included several other Twins AU and early Mauer cards, and I did the same. I thankfully won both.

A week later, the same seller had another lot for auction with a fair mix of Twins and thanks to the wonders of Gixen, I snagged that as well. Between the three card lots, my collection expanded with some nice stuff, and included several dupes worthy of future trades for other Twins cards that I don’t have.

Here’s the first sample, heavy on Chris Parmelee:

clockwise, from top left: 2011 Topps Triple Threads Future Phenoms #104 Danny Valencia [97/99] (auto/bat); 2012 Bowman Chrome Blue Refractor #215 Joe Benson [141/250] (auto); 2010 Bowman Chrome Draft Picks & Prospects Blue Refractor #BDPP88 Alex Wimmers [37/150] (auto); 2007 Bowman Prospects #BP121 Chris Parmelee (auto); 2001 Fleer Autographics Matt Lawton (auto); 2012 Topps Chrome Blue Refractor #162 Chris Parmelee [107/199] (auto); 2007 Bowman Prospects Orange #BP121 Chris Parmelee [104/250] (auto); 1999 Upper Deck SP Signature Edition #DoM Doug Mientkiewicz (auto)

…and some more, including my 50^th unique Glen Perkins AU:

clockwise, from top left: 2007 Bowman Signs of the Future #SOF-DS Denard Span (auto); 2005 Topps Finest Blue Refractor #143 Glen Perkins [103/299] (auto); 1996 Finest Refractor #261 Chuck Knoblauch; 2012 Topps Update Gold #US7 Joe Mauer [0577/2012]; 2006 Bowman White #164 Joe Mauer [114/120]; 2005 Bowman Chrome AFLAC Redemption #AFL6 Chris Parmelee; 2002 Upper Deck Minor League #228 Joe Mauer; 2002 Bowman Heritage black box variation #238 Joe Mauer
