[seawolf17]

When I see these theme lists for autographs, especially teams, I wonder how I would stack up as an autograph collector who is not specifically interested in the team, but has multiple players for one reason or another (card type, oddball, AS, HOF, action shots, etc).

I sometimes wish the Dodgers were under 1000 different, then maybe I would be close to the end! However, in the end having more to chase keeps you interested longer.

Maybe someday I will actually inventory all of mine and be able to report something like this.

Very nice!

True. It's kinda nice that the Mets have such a short history; it makes the whole thing more manageable. Thanks everyone!

[MrMet86]

Awesome!!! Here's to getting more

 

[rangersfan1982]

Congrats on all the new pickups!!

 

[seawolf17]

Been a long time since I've been around here regularly, but I got Andy Tomberlin back in the mail yesterday. I need to update my stats.

 

[MrMet86]

Congrats!...where did you send to? I've sent a few times over the last 2 years and have never gotten a return

 

[seawolf17]

Finally updated this too! 757.

 

[NYMets6986]

Great collection. I am amazed on the amount of met autos you have.

 

[seawolf17]

Thanks! It's fun. 9 more incoming -- I made the mistake of letting MrMet86 catch up; I need to pick up the pace.

I've got about twenty or so guys that have certs, and then the rest are all much harder to get for various reasons (out of the country, don't sign or cost too much, or are deceased), so it'll slow down again soon.
