"Didn't you just buy a 1971 Topps Lou Brock", you might ask. Yes. Yes, I did. But can you really have too many? This one was more of an investment I guess. I just thought it was cheap enough that I should buy it. I don't have any intention of selling it any time soon, but when I do I'm sure I'll make an enormous profit. Kidding of course.
I sent in quite a few cards for a Twins Caravan/TwinsFest consignment and only got two signed. I didn't really know what to expect. Since TwinsFest typically allows you to only get 1 item signed per line, there's not a whole lot of opportunity to get a ton of things signed. I know some people will present the player with a whole page of cards to sign, even though they only paid for one, hoping the player will sign more. Also, the Caravan events aren't a paid autograph opportunity, so you hope to get some autographs for free at those stops.
Anyway, I was able to get a 2016 Glen Perkins card signed, as well as a 2024 Topps Heritage Pablo Lopez. I paid my consignor less than the $50 fee that was posted for Lopez at TwinsFest, so he must have gotten more than mine signed there. I didn't look at the Caravan stops so can't say if Lopez attended that or not.
