Therion's All Time Astros Autograph Collection (1,020 Reached!! 44 To Go!)

[MrMet2.0]

It has been a long time since I have updated this. Life went completely loco this summer and baseball had to take a back seat.

13 Astros premiered since my last update. I have 2 of them, so 11 guys were added to my needs list.

Here are the two new additions:

You're an absolute legend. I enjoy following your progress.

Nice additions, thanks for the update. Hope things are going well on your end.

I appreciate it guys. It has been crazy but things seem to be settling.

A handful of the new guys are in Update, so hopefully I can get autos on them in Spring Training.

Two new additions since my last update. Hopefully with Spring Training around the corner, I can knock a few more off.

Zach Cole, hot start. Let's see if he's legit.

Ryan Gusto. Wasn't with us long before we traded him away.

One new addition since my last update.

Colton Gordon

Not a spectacular start to his career and is unlikely to suddenly turn it around, but glad Topps gave him a certified auto.

Isaac Paredes. I'm not sure why Topps gave him an on-card auto in Update, but I'm glad they did.

Huge update today with 9 new additions! My first Spring Training commission came back and one pickup from the Bay. 7 of the 8 from ST are customs and I have to say, I feel like I have really come into my own with the customs. There is an obvious giveaway about which of the 7 are customs, but I think that the real one is otherwise fairly difficult to distinguish from the 7 customs.

Jason Alexander

Enyel De Los Santos

Jayden Murray

Steven Okert

Cam Smith

Taylor Trammell

Christian Walker

Brandon Walter

Hayden Wesneski

Great update! Cam smith is the real one…oh you didn’t count that one…

Your custom work is really impressive! What program do you use for the customs?
love the update.

I make them in Photoshop and then print them myself

This is my exact reaction for many of the certified Dodgers i have added over the years. Always happy that obscure guys get chosen.

Updated my needs list. 17 new Astros so far this year. Oof! Will likely be 18 after tonight.

I've also decided that I have to start picking up Minor League cards of some of the more obscure recent guys that never got Astros cards. Guys like Robel Garcia who have completely disappeared. They may pop up for private signings later, but there is no reason he has sat on my list for four years.

I need a Darien Nunez, maybe a similar situation. I even reached out through Instagram and asked if he'd sign and he responded said sure, but when I asked where ti ship the card, he went silent! This is why i don't make a good autograph seeker. I prefer to just buy what I want and be done with it. The waiting and the games and disappoints are just not part of the game I want to experience.
