Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to really consider this, seeing as I have a nice Rawlings black bat that would look amazing with gold metallic marker. When is it? 25$ would be considered a premium item I assume?

The Mini Helmets were actually a drawing the restaurant had, but I usually don't get mini helmets cause they are like $30 each and look best with only 1 or two sigs on them. It would get too spendy for me. I prefer cards, cheaper and usually just one player on them, more personal, imo.

I understand totally about saving money, believe me buying Twins jerseys are not cheap and getting them signed. I was so irritated when I found out Delmon Young was traded after just getting his autograph. I'm not irritated anymore, it's still neat and he's in our division still. I'm going to start being selective whose jerseys I buy to get signed. Even OMLB's are out of the question. I'd rather buy the generic Rawlings Offical League at Wal-Mart for 2$ vs 15$ on a player like Butera.

I was reading one of your previous postings that you waited for a Granderson autograph, did you end up getting it? That would be sick.

Any future dates you have planned for the Vikings?

Not yet. Hopefully they will have someone good at the radio show next week, but they aren't going to announce it till Sunday.

No, I ended up not going because I had to pick up my younger sister from a soccer camp thing she went to. It sucked. haha

I saw those earlier. I'm not too far from plymouth today, but I already got Gerhart twice at camp and really don't need him again.

I saw an ad in the paper for this. When is it again?

Last night I went to the Lynx game. They were having a team autograph session after the game. They made it sound like Immediatly after the game you could go on the court and just walk up to the player(s) and get them to sign whatever. I guess that's what they did last year, but instead this year, they had 6 tables with two players at each one, on the court, throught the arena sort of. So they made you line up, going up the steps in the section of each table. Most of the lines were long and there was only 30 minutes. It was kind of a hassle. So after about a half hour of waiting, right as I was about to pack up and leave the players came out, so I stuck around. Here's what I got:

Lindsay Whalen 1/1 custom 8X10
Taj McWilliams Franklin 1/1 custom 8X10
Charde Houston 1/1 custom 8X10
Seimone Augustus 1/1 custom 8X10
Alexis Hornbuckle custom 8X10

Missed on:
Jessica Adair 0/1 refused to sign my photo and tried to tell me it wasnt her, but I got the pic right off of the Lynx website.
Cheryl Reeves 0/1 Head Coach, didn't sign.
Monica Wright 0/1 not enough time to get in her line
Maya Moore 0/1 same as Monica
Candice Wiggins 0/1 same
Rebekkah Brunson 0/1 same

I plan on going to a few playoff games and will hopefully be able to finish off the set then.

the oliva signing is this saturday from 12 to 2pm. also do you know where the wild have their training camps. i want to try and get some graphs but dont know where to go. any help would be great. also i know they used to practice at parade ice rink and getting the players there was awesome but they dont practice there anymore. just wondering where they are practicing now when the x has a concert

[Langers]

I'm curious where the Wild would sign. At Parade Rink were they open to public? Or did you wait outside when they were done?

NHL jerseys are too much money to get purchase and get signed, I think it would be nice to have an all wooden stick signed by the team.

when they were at parade i just waited in the lobby. as they came in they would sign and as they walked out they would sign. it was very easy to get autographs when they were at parade. not sure if they are going to be practicing again or not.

I thought I had seen somewhere that they were practicing in St.Louis Park, somewhere, but I'm not sure the exact place.

Anyone going to the free scrimmage on Saturday morning, at the X?
