Not a knock on your collection, but it's surprising how few big star players the Rangers have had on their roster over the years. I only consulted 1 site to check the number of HOFers that have appeared on their roster and it was 9. That doesn't sound bad, but it includes players who only played briefly with the team as well. However, another site indicated that just 1 Ranger was enshrined with their plaque showing them as a Ranger. Guessing that was probably Pudge.

Probably makes collecting the signatures a little easier, although sometimes obscure players can be worse than big stars.

Nolan Ryan, Pudge Rodriquez and Adrian Beltre are all enshrined as Texas Rangers.

I like this collection, obviously.

I think it’s great that people collect differently from each other. Not everything is for everybody.

The Rangers have not had a great team history, it's true. But in all honesty, I get more excited about obtaining autographs from players like Bob Malloy (3 MLB games) than I do Adrian Beltre. I like learning about the lesser-known players in the games history.

Oddly, the Rangers have probably had a higher percentage of well-known managers than they have had players; Ted Williams, Whitey Herzog, Billy Martin, Don Zimmer, Bobby Valentine, Johnny Oates, Buck Showalter, Ron Washington, Bruce Bochy. And a few well-known coaches, such as Terry Francona, Nellie Fox, and Orel Hershiser.

I hope you didn't think I was looking down on the collection. I also enjoy passionate themed collectors. Just an observation of the lack of bigger stars. Of course, if you collect the Yankees or Dodgers, you pay the price despite a never ending supply of no-names for them as well.

I honestly can't imagine trying to collect the Yankees or Dodgers. The number of big-name players and the number of other collectors going after the same card.

I feel lucky that I'm a Rangers fan in that sense. Not as many collectors are going after the cards I want.

Being a Royals fan, I feel the same. That's part of why I enjoy seeing your posts.

I am feeling the pain with Ohtani, Yamamoto and Sasaki right now. I won't pay ridiculous amounts, so I probably will not get these guys now or anytime soon, if ever. Just have to hope the market floods or they level off in popularity. I waited out Freeman and Betts. I don't think there is any waiting out Ohtani though, ever.
