Looooooosiana!
This month saw two major collection milestones for me.

First, I reached 300 unique Astros autographs!

Second, after a sweet package today, I have hit over 50% of Darryl Kile cards!

So here are my Top 10 from both :D (In no particular order)

AdleshDave.jpg
Dave Adlesh, one of the hardest living players to get an auto from.  Fourth hardest living Astros player.

KnicelyAlan.jpg
Knicely, Sprowl, Heep triple.  A certain mod hooked me up with this in a trade.

GoodmanBill.jpg
Billy Goodman.  Passed away in 1984.

MejiasRoman.jpg
Roman Mejias.  The first Astros star.

TempleJohnny.jpg
Johnny Temple.  Passed in 1994.

Scans012.jpg
Turk Ferrell.  This would be sweeter if Koufax signed it too, but still a fav.

scan0011.jpg
No explanation needed.

scan0026.jpg
One of my many Berkman autos.

scan0025.jpg
One of my many Oswalt autos.

scan0038.jpg
Brad Lidge.  One of the first surprise gifts I was ever given on BMB.  Scottopotamus is the man.

And now for the Darryl Kile Top Ten:

Congrats! Out of curiosity, who are the other really tough Astros autographs? Is there a story behind them?

Living Astros?

Bob Watkins - Hates baseball. Very bitter. Feels he wasn't given his due.
Leon McFadden - Similar but slightly less bitter.
Mark Lemongello - He's a gypsy. He kidnapped his cousin in the 80s and was convicted. Has lived off the grid ever since.

I hope that isn't true :lol:

Oh, it definitely is ;) Every time I think I'm finally caught up on the current roster, they'll call up an obscure reliever who doesn't have and never will have cards, or sign veteran that rarely signs, or trade half the roster ::facepalm:: Then again, maybe that's just the Pirates...
