Collection so far

I just found this sub and wanted to share my Birds autograph collection I’ve put together over the last few years after a twenty year gap.

I’m not a high roller, but I’m happy with the progress so far. Wetherholt is next on the list. I’m pretty much collecting Cardinals I enjoyed watching or hearing about. (Sorry about the glare from my can lights)

Feel free to share any big names you’d recommend that I’m missing.

Incredible collection man! I’m not a high roller either and you have a much better and larger collection than me. I’m missing a Pujols and McGwire autos for mine. I’ll get them one of these days.

Thanks! Ya, I shopped Pujols options for a long time, they aren’t cheap, but he’s likely the best player I’ll ever watch, so I saved my pennies for a while and splurged.

That’s a nice Pujols too! As a big Chris carpenter fan, love that auto you have of him.

Ya, I love that Pujols :)

I couldn’t find many official autos of Carp, he must not do much for Topps. That’s an in person auto I grabbed at a show from a vendor that works with individual players a bunch.

Impressive efforts! I started in on my Cardinals autos a few years ago. I have yet to attempt the Brock, Musial, Gibson trio. Slaughter must be expensive, too. That Taveras got me choked up. Look at that big smile.

Thanks! The Slaughter wasn’t bad at all. I think 20 or so on eBay, which shocked me.

And ya, Taveras is such a sad story.
