    I can look through my stuff - I know I have two Jimmy Wynn rookies (‘64, one of the GOAT sets). Likely several current-day Astros I can send, too.

    I’ll DM you what I have.

    If you aren't a forum supporter I belive you have to do them as links to imgur or some other online hosting.

    Has anyone gone to the Astros caravan this year?
    are players signing baseballs or just mini photo cards?

    I have a wood bat (32x28...ish?), Jose Cruz signature model, not a game bat, that they gave away to some of us kids waaaaay back in the 80's.

    Interesting trades accepted.

    It will probably depend on the crowd size, bigger crowd you'll more than likely get the photo card.

    Fan Fest is different than the Caravan.

    Saturday will be a zoo. Good luck.

    Usually they will sign anything you have within reason (may have to sneak it in, baseballs are easy), especially if it's for a kid (and not some creepy old collector guy)

    eta:

    Apparently there are vouchers? For $1

    These you need and they get you something?

    Houston Tri-Star Show in Feb, Dusty Baker is scheduled to appear, but there is a chance he will not appear. This is before he signed with the Giants, if he loves what he did for Houston, he should appear, but if he thinks we kicked him out, he likely will skip this event. I still believe he still wants to manage the Stros.


    Here is the list from the Chronicle that will attend the Fan Fest event today, (Missing- Jose Altuve)

    Yordan Alvarez, Alex Bregman, Hunter Brown, Victor Caratini, Yainer Diaz, Shawn Dubin, J.P. France, Matt Gage, David Hensley, Corey Julks, Grae Kessinger, Lance McCullers Jr., Parker Mushinski, Jeremy Peña, Ryan Pressly, Bennett Sousa and Kyle Tucker.

    I wonder how awkward it becomes when Julks finds out during the event that he is DFAd to make roster space for Hader?

    I got a Yordan signed card at the Fan Fest. If you want it bad enough, PM me and name your price, you may get it (I'm 50/50 on whether I will keep it.

    Hopefully, you got Yordan to sign last year's World Series ball that is going to be a good piece.

    I just received an envelope from TRISTAR. There is a rumor dusty will not be in attendance.

    I just checked out a card shop that I've been eyeing since I moved here in October.

    An hour later I walked out with 30 Topps cards from 1962-1975 that I needed for my binder, including 5 Colt cards from 62-64.

    Every year those are getting harder and harder to find but one was a 64 Jimmy Wynn rookie.

    The whole trip only set me back $25 so I'm very happy.

    I now have 14 of 85 Colts cards 1962-64, just over 50% of cards 1965-1975, and 83% of cards from 1976-1994.

    On the whole I need 223 of the 766 cards made 1962-1994 to complete that part of my collection.

    My son was born in 1994 and I stopped collecting seriously until picking back up in 2018 so I am missing quite a few of them.

    My son was able to land two Dusty Baker cards. One is his rookie card.
