One new addition and a nice upgrade since my last update.
Trey Mancini is the new addition. He wasn't in Houston long, and did not do particularly well, but he had a HUGE play in the World Series that likely saved the game. His prices on Astros autos were absurdly high compared to his other autos, but for some reason they came back to reality when the Tribute autos dropped.
Chris Zachary upgraded from an index card. He's not particularly rare, but the few Astros autographs were being held hostage at 5x his other autos. One finally dropped at a reasonable price.

One upgrade.
Ron Davis, upgraded from an autograph on a team ball. This is his only Astros card. While he isn't incredibly rare, he died in 1992 and his autos aren't getting any easier to find.

A cool new addition today, dropping me back to 30 needs.
Ken Emanuel IP consignment.
This is his only Astros card, but this is why that's crazy. He did not have a card in Stadium Club, only in Stadium Club Chrome. There are so few of these out there to even get signed. Pumped to have it and not a custom.

One upgrade since my last post.
Stee Henderson upgraded from an index card. This was obtained in a private signing. It may also be one of my favorite Astros pictures of all time. He looks like he just saw something horrifying happen.

A super cool addition to my collection thanks to @MrMet2.0 arrived this weekend.
I have waned to get this card signed since this card came out in 2015. There was an era of Astros baseball in which the actual baseball was not particularly enjoyable but we had the most entertaining mascot in all of MLB. This was true for about three years. One of those years was 2014 and one of the funniest things Orbit would do is hold up these signs behind guys that absolutely owned us. JP Arencibia was one of those guys that just shelled our pitching and this particular sign always made me laugh.
I have tried with five or six different graphers to get this card signed, but he was always a solid "NO" on it. I saw that Scott had successfully gotten him and started talking to him about this card. He offered to try and apparently Mr. Arencibia has softened on his stance about this card.
I know most people would look at this card and think it silly, but this is a huge addition to me.
Thank you for the help, Scott!

Awesome! Glad it arrived safe! And it’s so weird about how he wouldn’t sign it, he had no issues and as soon as he saw the cards he talked about how he loved Orbit and was laughing the whole time. The only thing he wouldn’t do was write an insult back to orbit, which I asked, but he laughed it off. But yeah, no trouble with signing at all, he was great.

It was pretty soon after he was released from his last team and I think he had a reputation for just being generally grumpy at the time. I find that most players have this short period when they don't decide on their own to retire.
