Therion's All Time Astros Autograph Collection (1,005 Reached!! 29 To Go!)

[Therion]

The only one that concerns me is Dusty Baker. He is likely gone this year and might not have a card made of him in an Astros uniform.

 

[Therion]

And I fall back another one with Cristian Javier's debut today. This one will be fairly easy to pick up and he has several autos in an Astros uniform already. Just waiting for the right price.

 

[Therion]

Another step backwards with the Diaz injury. Taylor Jones is in the starting lineup today, so going ahead and adding him to my needs.

Four upgrades this week, though!

Jeff Baldwin. He did not play long but his autograph is hard to find. I didn't get it cheap, but it wasn't crazy.

Jose Cruz, Jr. He never had any Astros cards made, but got this custom signed at a Private Signing.

Kevin Bass and Billy Hatcher. I already had Astros cards for both, but I love me some dual signed cards. This one is officially replacing my Billy Hatcher.

Keith Lampard and Scipio Spinks. I actually already had this card dual signed and forgot. Lampard is a pretty tough auto. I will technically be upgrading the Spinks with this one.

The Astros are debuting a lot of guys so far!

 

[Therion]

Yep. And NONE of the guys I pre-bought autos of lol

 

[Therion]

Another backwards move with the debut of Brandon Bailey.

 

[Therion]

Absolutely killing me in four games so far. Falling back another with the debut of Dustin Garneau.

 

[Therion]

Another player debuted, but I already had his auto ready for this event. Finally one that doesn't move me backwards!

Brandon Bielak

I prefer Dodger items, but will take anything at first. I grabbed the only two new debuts (Gore and McGee) so far for the Dodgers on certified former team cards, besides Betts who is hitting a Mendoza-like buck fitty right now.

 

[Therion]

With the debut of Andre Scrubb, I fall back another one.

This is the Astros fifth game of the season and the SIXTH pitcher to premier this season. More new pitchers than games lol

 

[Therion]

Nivaldo Rodriguez debuts and puts me back another.

This guy has never pitched above the Carolina League. What are we even doing?

 

[Therion]

Another pitcher debut last night puts me back another. Humberto Castellanos is added to the needs list.

 

[Therion]

Carlos Sanabria debuted last night, so another step back. The number of rookie pitchers this year is INSANE.

 

[mrmopar]

That is how the Dodgers usually are near the end of the season. I have only lost 2 spots so far thankfully.

 

[MrMet]

Wow, I’m definitely down double digits on the Mets side of things, and I think I only had 3 of the 15 or so in inventory

I have several upgrades but have not had time to get pics yet.

And another new Astros yesterday, so falling back another step. Brooks Raley added to the needs list.

You can't beat autographed vintage, but for some reason I have always loved autographed Mother's Cookies cards. They look fantastic to me.

 

[Therion]

Completely agree! Something about the simplicity of them.

 

[Therion]

One step forward, one step back. Chase De Jong debuted with the Astros, so I lost ground BUT I picked up a new autograph which put me right back where I was. I also have one upgrade.

First the new addition.

Aaron Sanchez. I will want to upgrade to an card with a logo eventually. This card is limited to only 10 copies, which is somewhat cool.

And my upgrade is a cool one.

Al Heist. He's somewhat tough to find on his only Houston card.
