Just a reminder ; if they play for or against Hickory Crawdads in Hickory I should be able to get autos on something even if no cards issued yet.

Finally the collection is complete to date.

The final piece arrived to Mexico today:
#12 Marcelino Solis (1958 Cubs)


Can't find the words to describe the excitement I am feeling right now :D!
This is the first complete collection

Congratulations! I'm at 42/43 so far for my Japanese MLB collection. Tanaka Masahiro will probably put a dent in my wallet when he debuts this year though.

Thank you very much. Are you sure it isn't 52/53? In a previous update you were 46/52. Who is the one missing? Good luck with the Tanaka

I was lazy so I looked it up in wikipedia. Shows how accurate that site is. I went through my collection and it's at 49/50. I have Wada of the Orioles but he has yet to play a game in the majors. The one I'm missing is Takashi Kashiwada. He played for the Mets in 1997. I actually bought a signed index card a while ago and sent it in to PSA/DNA and it came back inconclusive so my search continues.

Awesome! How did you finally find it? And what makes it so rare?

Congratulations! I know that you have been working on this for some time. If there are any Carolina League players who you need, let me know.

I traded an item of my personal collection (GU jersey) to a friend in El Paso, Tx who also collects Mexicans. I know he had only one that he had gotten in the 80s in Monterrey
Solis played for the 1958 Cubs and was back in Mexico the next year and it appears he never signed TTM as he has a 1959 Topps that I have never seen signed. Well, actually one but it is from a very shady dealer. In Ebay I had only seen an index card and it went above $200 about 5 years ago besides a 58 Cubs team signed baseball that went over $300.

Congratulations! I know that you have been working on this for some time. If there are any Carolina League players who you need, let me know.

Thank you very much. I'll keep it in mind

Couple of updates:

#118
Daniel Castro was called up for a day on June 17 by the Braves and had one at bat were he got a hit. I got his only card (minor league from last year) but no auto yet, so he breaks the collection momentarily.

#119
