Man, I stepped away for like five minutes and I missed the only offense they've had so far.

LOL same here, stepped away for a 10-minute phone call. Come back, we're on the board.

 

C'mon Twins, let's add on here!

Missed that today is National Baseball Card Day. What were (are) your favorites? 

 

For me, 1974 was the first year I was old enough to get any cards, and when my brother came home for Christmas from his first year of college, he asked me if I had a Rod Carew. He had one for me.

LOVED baseball cards as a kid. Think my first cards were '82 or '83.

 

Always was a Topps guy. That '85 Topps Kirby Puckett rookie card (I have a few of them) has always been my favorite.

I have an '84 Fleer Update Kirby Puckett, his official rookie card. My favorite.

 

I also have a '61 Topps Twins Team card, but I cheated and bought that one from a shop.

i have 12 years of Rod Carew cards. My favorite card in my collection is a mini version of the 1975 Nolan Ryan card.

Well done, sir.

 

Now do Buxton!

Can't force it. But looks like you took care of the problem anyway.

I have a bunch of those, and one in a frame.

Not my favorite, but I also have the Billy Ripken "F*%K FACE" card. And I got it legit, bought a few packs of '88 (or was it '89?) Fleer cards at Grand Slam on Lyndale Avenue. As a 13 year-old kid, that was certainly a collecting highlight.
