It's funny to see someone with tons of signed cards for one team being super tough for another. I bet this happens a lot.View attachment 331517Ramon Castro - Not the catcher drafted by the Astros who later played for the Marlins and Mets, an infielder who played an entire 9 major league games for the 2004 A's. An annoying one to search for since he has very little out there and the catcher Castro has a lot of signatures floating around. He has one A's card in 2004 Ultra so an upgrade is possible, but that card is even kind of tough to find unsigned so I'm not getting my hopes up.

McKinney was borrowed briefly by the Dodgers. No signed Dodger cards were or will ever be made I suspect, but maybe he made it onto a regular card that could be signed. i don't collect newer unsigned cards much anymore, so I don't have a clue if he appeared on one or not. I have that same one you showed to fill a hole.
Look up the other name that been used on cards: Jake Lemoine. I got him for my personal collection when he was pitching in Frisco

Same with the Mets, but check out his 2021 Donruss baseball auto with the Brewers, his blue no logo uniform could pass for the Mets or Dodgers, at least it will loosely pass for mine when I pick up a copy…doesn’t even say Brewers on the front

Have you considered making custom cards? My customs are very hard to differentiate from an actual baseball card and they are dead simple to make. I've even had players ask how they didn't know someone made a card of them in that uniform lolGot this one in today, I "gave up" and bought some autos that I considered imperfect for some reason or another just to get them off my wantlist.
View attachment 332104Josh Lucas - Pitched 8 games, including 1 start, for the 2018 A's. He had some minor league team set cards but nothing from the MLB, so this A's 8x10 will do. I just hate getting 8x10s because they are a storage conundrum. I don't really have a set box/binder to store these in so they just go wherever. Also this was another one of those annoying eBay searches where there's multiple people with the same name, as there is an actor named Josh Lucas. Now that I have this, no need to think about the baseball player or the actor ever again.
At 686/702. If the A's shuffle their MLB team enough maybe I can get to 700 autographs this year.
That'd be a good route to take for guys with no A's cards that sign TTM or for a small fee. I only have a black and white laser printer but I should look into various ways of doing that online and having them sent to me. Thanks for the idea, it would be nice to have standard-sized stuff as opposed to 8x10 photos, 4x6 photos, and 3x5 cards.Have you considered making custom cards?
