Scribbles and dirty laundry

Since being introduced in the mid-90s, relics autos and manufactured junk has re-vitalized a dead hobby. Like it or not, most people are supar-mojo hit chasers(it hurt to type that..). I'd like to think I have a huge Twins collection, and just wanted to share a few of my favorites here.
What's not to like? McGwire, Puckett, 89 Upper Deck!











I'm trying to collect different player "letter" type cards to spell out my name, this was one of my first additions. Love the huge patch style on this compared to others.








My current oldest card, an original T206 that I pulled from Teddy's favorite LCS.







Speaking of Nick's, I pulled this thinking I needed it for my Topps team set, only saw the faint pen auto when I was sorting it into my team box.







Speaking of Teddy, lol, he traded me this some time ago. Cecil Travis Beckett encased cut-card. Just wish it were BGS graded.








Harmon Killebrew pinstripe card? Yeah, sure. Sign me up. Looks like it's straight from the 60s.








I'd like to find the other variations with less/more relic cuts. Apparently there's versions with one relic, two, three(obviously..) and a fourth relic with the different #/serial levels.




These Killebrew, Oliva, Carew relics all look faded, a nice historical touch. Much better than bland white squares from recent players... #ThanksTopps









Just hope this "T-Shirt" was a jersey/pants, and moreso, not from the Angels.






My first in-person autograph. Brad stayed after a game in early 2002 to sign everyone's stuff, stayed and chatted with everyone. Overall cool dude.









Pulled this on my own from 2012 Topps. My third 1/1, and third printing plate. Wish it were black like my Morneau, but I've got three of the four printing colors(have Cyan, Yellow, Black). Great day.
