This month saw two major collection milestones for me.
First, I reached 300 unique Astros autographs!
Second, after a sweet package today, I have hit over 50% of Darryl Kile cards!
So here are my Top 10 from both
(In no particular order)
Dave Adlesh, one of the hardest living players to get an auto from. Fourth hardest living Astros player.
Knicely, Sprowl, Heep triple. A certain mod hooked me up with this in a trade.
Billy Goodman. Passed away in 1984.
Roman Mejias. The first Astros star.
Johnny Temple. Passed in 1994.
Turk Ferrell. This would be sweeter if Koufax signed it too, but still a fav.
No explanation needed.
One of my many Berkman autos.
One of my many Oswalt autos.
Brad Lidge. One of the first surprise gifts I was ever given on BMB. Scottopotamus is the man.
And now for the Darryl Kile Top Ten:
1992 Upper Deck
1993 Stadium Club Members Only
1994 Fleer All-Stars
1994 Score Gold Rush
1998 Circa Thunder Rave 134/150
1998 Pacific Platinum Blue (announced run of 67)
1999 Stadium Club Black Press Plate
2001 Ultra Platinum Medallion 47/50
2002 Donruss Best of Fan Club National 2/5
2002 Upper Deck 40-Man Electric Rainbow 9/40

Every time I think I'm finally caught up on the current roster, they'll call up an obscure reliever who doesn't have and never will have cards, or sign veteran that rarely signs, or trade half the roster ::facepalm:: Then again, maybe that's just the Pirates...
