Nice pickups! Its awesome your wife actually knows what you need

Down to 47 autographs. As soon as the season starts this will go back above 50 needs, but enjoying the progress! Today's is another rare signature. I saw an index card go for around $20, but this 8x10 was on eBay. I offered the seller $10 and he took it! Pretty pumped!

I have three guys that I need. Would you want to do a 50/50 type thing?

If you like. Let's wait and make sure they're on the roster, but I don't mind trying for you!!!

I've also got an extra Whitley from last year, if you need him.

I do! I'll get in touch with you closer to season starting!

Two in today!


Reymin Guduan, signed TTM in Spring Training. Glad to get this one back. He is one of those guys that could easily disappear and never be heard from again!


Scott Kazmir, spent half a season with us in 2015. Help propel the team into the playoffs and then left for Los Angeles. Picked up via consignment in Braves ST.

Good job getting the Guduan!

 

[MrMet]

Man I really wish I could see your pictures...

What site do you link from? I link from my website and it seems to work fine everywhere but here.

Honestly players like that are definitely my favorites to get back! I agree, get those foreign born relievers as soon as possible!

Four, yes FOUR, additions over the last two days.


Erik Bedard. Not a hard auto to find, but I've been holding out hoping to get his one Astros card signed. It popped up on eBay last week for $5 and free shipping. No brainer.


Larry Howard. Another tough signer. I sent a lowball offer to an eBay seller and they accepted. Sometimes it pays off to just ask.


James Hoyt. I was contacted through my website asking if I still needed Hoyt. A random stranger sent me this for free. As much bad as there can be in this hobby, I'm always blown away by how generous people really are.


Steve Pearce. Most memorable to Astros fans because of his role in what might be the worst infield play in the history of baseball.
