Recent IP Successes and an in store find....

[houbb]

Okay, I know I haven't been posting successes lately. Sorry, but I'm just not a fan of how long it takes to download all of this stuff with satelitte internet.

I digress.

Any way, here's a brief sample of some recent IP successes...

One of my favorite 3rd basemen of all time....

The guy who taught Greg Maddux all about science...

These three cards are headed up to find a home with my friend Walt...

Derek Holland on a relic card...

Steve Foucault. Had a nice talk with him about that amazing run the Rangers had in '74. Good memories...

Deacon Jones and Jose Cruz on the '79 Astros Phantom WS Tickets Project...

A little ol' HOFer added to the '86 Astros team photo project...

A future batting champion...

Jason Alexander, of Seinfeld fame, was in town this past weekend, and he kindly signed an OMLB...

Michael Choice...

Colby Lewis...

Roman Mendez...

Twins closer, Glen Perkins...

The 2014 Skeeters. For some reason, my daughter's youngest female cat really wants this...

An Angels outfielder...

Last, but not least, the other day I went into a card shop to pick up some supplies, and walked out with a box filled with old SI's and Sporting News for $19. The box also included this...

So...how do you think I did?

That Bobby Orr photo may be one of the greatest I have ever seen!

WOW!!!!!!! great stuff. Steve Foucault was a security guard for about a yr at the hotel my dad managed. He gave me 3 or 4 pitching lessons when i was about 10 yrs old. I'll never forget that mustache. thanks for sharing. Beltre Trout, Nolan, Altuve and Orr..that's quite a haul of epic proportions. Very jealous

...and if you look very carefully, Glenn Davis also signed underneath Nolan. Just doesn't show up on the scan. Sorry 'bout that.

Yeah, Steve was cool. He was tremendous coming out of the pen in '74. Back then it was unusual for a relief pitcher to rack up 100 k's, but Steve did that his rookie season in '74. Had a great time talking to him about that completely unexpected run in '74 when they were in contention up until the final week for the AL West title. Talk about a scrappy club!
