Here is a list of players I collect. They all have a Minnesota connection. Either being born there or playing college there. I'm trying to get one of each of their cards or anything else depicting them. Oddball stuff especially welcome. This is not a complete list but the best I've come up with so far. If you know others that should be added just lmk. Also a huge thank you to Zach Sand and to Chuck Bosshardt for a lot of help on this list.I have put together some want lists for some of the players. Names in BLUE will link to a page listing the cards I need for that player. Names in BLACK with no link means I have no cards for that player yet. Any help with these players will be great. Thanks.
