Went to TwinsFest over the weekend with a great friend and fellow Killebrew collector Gary. I wasn't expecting too much in the collectible department as I have almost every affordable Killebrew item and am low on funds as well.
Gary actually came down the day before and we spent the time catching up and comparing notes on the obscure items we "need". I made a big pot of chilli for dinner.
We arrived early and made our way to the Metrodome floor to begin our search. I'll never understand how people can play football on this surface, feels like my basement floor with some thin, crappy carpet stretched over it. There was an amazing display of Killebrew memarabilia, including his High School football jersey, he was a High School All-American Quarterback in Payette Idaho.
After a short time we separated and I struck up a conversation with one of the dealers who had some 60's material. Turns out he's a good friend of Gary's. As we're yakking I notice he has a 1968 Action All-Star sticker, full panel with Killebrew on it. I have the #2 panel, Killebrew is the center sticker on both #2 and #14. Here's what he had priced at $100.00;
That's what I am talkin' about!!!!
That made my day! Struck up some more conversations and renewed some friendships with dealers I rarely see anymore. Overall a wonderful time.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
