Moonshots

A somewhat crazy list of cards and ephemera I want most.

A Jeff Bagwell printing plate
A Bill Brubaker on-card autograph (’39 or ’40 Play Ball)
A Nellie Fox autograph
Any of the original 1962 Phillips “Here Come the Colts” magazines
An uncut sheet of the twelve 1967 team issued cards
A Colt .45s bobblehead
The “Streaking Orbit” bobblehead

Top Targets

A quick list of cards which are most desired at the moment, as dictated by random collecting whims.

2018 Big League Gold Parallels: 86, 104, 304
2019 Topps Chrome Refractors: 28, 62
2019 Topps Fire Inserts
En Fuego: Gurriel Gold Minted parallel
Fired Up: Correa (+ Gold Minted parallel)
Flamethrowers: Cole Blue Chip
Max Velocity: Fisher Blue Chip parallel

Flagship Needs

One of my goals is to finish off all the Colt .45s / Astros team sets – let’s say by the end of 2023, since there are some dang ol’ high numbers in there.
