Therion's All Time Astros Autograph Collection (1,004 Reached!! 25 To Go!)

[Therion]

One addition in yesterday. Not only is this one cool for knocking a name off my list, but he is pictured in my hometown team's uniform! I miss the Shreveport Captains!

That’s not a valid image link. Gotta be a jpg or something

Down to 32 with this week's addition.


Matt Pagnozzi

I'm also going to slowly go backwards through this thread and reinsert the pictures as JPEGs.

I've updated from page 3 until this point. Hopefully they are all showing up now. [MENTION=1995]dano7[/MENTION] can you see them now?

 

[Brewer Andy]

There they are!

Can definitely see them now!!

 

[Therion]

Awesome. Glad I got that fixed, because I have a really rare autograph coming in this week. It's number 2 on my list!

 

[Therion]

One added to the needs list. Tim Federowicz debut with the Astros on Thursday.

Also knocked a HUGE need off the list. The second most difficult name left has been knocked off.


George Brunet

One new one in today! The newest Astros backup catcher, Tim Federowicz

 

[Therion]

A new one in yesterday.


Tomas Perez

Not a difficult autograph, but rarely find him in a minor league uniform. He has no Astros cards.

 

[Therion]

My wife (and two year old son) got me three additions for Father's Day!


Paul Householder, famously grumpy about signing.


Matt Keough, 1970s pitcher that stopped signing long ago.


Rick Wilkins, catcher best known for his time with the Cubs. I hope to upgrade this to an Astros card one day.

 

[Therion]

Another one in today! Not a crazy rare autograph, but very few in an Astros uniform.


Sid Fernandez

 

[Brewer Andy]

Nice Householder! Is that Sid a photo?

Yep, it’s an 8x10!

I’d prefer one of his cards, but I can’t complain.

Sweet bunting action shot, too. Small ball represent, I like it a lot.

 

[Therion]

I think it was the only way he was ever going to get a hit!

 

[Therion]

One new and one upgrade today. First the upgrade.


Francisco Cordero

I have never seen this card signed before and jumped at the chance to have it signed in a consignment.

Now for the new autograph and it is a big one for me. Unfortunately, it doesn't end up perfectly. Three (?) years ago a member on FCB contacted me asking if I would be interested in an unfinished 8X10 that already had Kaz Matsui, Michael Bourne, and Hunter Pence on it. I, of course, said yes and patiently waited to try to finish it off with Miguel Tejada.



However, if you look at the side with Kaz Matsui, you can see that there is significant damage to the picture. The Tejada signing happened in the Dominican Republic and the Customs Agent apparently manhandled the picture while going through the consigner's belongings. While it isn't perfect, I am pretty happy to have it done. The consigner also refunded me the cost of both the Cordero and the Tejada AND gave me two free spots in his Jerry Rice signing later this month. I don't collect football, but I certainly won't turn my nose up at that offer!

Great updates! Love Franky! And that photo is awesome. Unfortunate about the damage but the consigner sounds like a stand up guy. Sometimes things are out of one’s control but I agree it turned out great. Having trouble pulling up the full image on my phone but is there potential to trim the photo and have it matted in a frame to minimize the noticeability of the damage?
