TwinsFest Bobbleheads and Bat

I was able to add another 1987 Twins team bobblehead to my collection at TwinsFest.  Jeff Reardon was signing for the Bob Feller Museum.  I like getting these signed in person because the postage to ship them to and from a paid signing is about $20.  I think I paid $20 for Mr. Reardon's autograph. (I have no idea why the blog is posting the image of the bobblehead sideways).

I also had Rod Carew sign one of his bobbleheads that the Twins gave out in 2001.

I had one bat signed this year.  Danny Valencia signed a Rawlings bat for me very nicely with a large signature.

TTM Returns and Card Show Finds

The snow didn't keep us from making it to the card show in Bloomington today.  We attended the auction and bought a few things.  I bought a signed Matt Lawton bobblehead for only $11.  My younger son bought a Johan Santana placque that included an 8x10 and two baseball cards (not signed).  I also bought four 9-card pages filled with 1971 Topps including Willie McCovey, Billy Williams and Joe Morgan.  At $3 it was a bargain.  At the tables, my older son bought 22 1958 Topps cards to send out for autographs.  They were only $1 each.

I received more 1972 Topps returns today.  Phil Niekro signed his and added his HOF inscription for his $10 fee.

Monty Montgomery signed his rookie card.

Gerry Moses signed his 1971, 1972 and 1973 Topps.

 

And Dave LaRoche signed his 1972 and 1978 Topps.

I had one failure today.  I received my 1955 Topps back unsigned form Mel Roach with no explanation.  Hopefully he is doing okay.
