Two New Autographs

I have this rule for my autograph collection:  at least one certified autograph of any player that had one issued during a season they played for the Cubs and the card shows them as a Cub.

A couple new release have autograph cards for players that I think will fit my rule, so I went ahead and got the cards.


Outfielder Junior Lake has an autograph in Turkey Red.  Unfortunately, it looks like Topps is back in the sticker auto game.  Many of the autographed cards from the past couple years were on-card.  But Lake's is a sticker.  Isn't is nice that he have a very minimalist signature on a card with a minimalist design.


Pitcher Chris Rusin has an autograph in Panini's version of Donruss.  

Both Lake and Rusin should spend some time with the 2014 Cubs.  If they do, then I'm set with their autographs.  If not, I only wasted a few bucks.

With these two additions, this part of my autograph collection is up to 103 players...

Take a look at my list.  Anyone notice a name that I'm missing?  I'm always looking to add any that I may have omitted.

  1. I see Andre Dawson isn't on your list.

  2. I think your Henry Rodriguez refers to the outfielder, but the pitcher who made a brief appearance in 2013 also has an autographed card in 2013 Panini Prizm. No logos, but he's still credited with being in Chicago.

    1. You're right, mine is the outfielder. I just picked up the 2013 Rodriguez for three bucks delivered. Thanks for the heads up.

    2. No problem. Welington Castillo has some unlicensed stuff too (Panini and National Treasure).

      And you may have already seen Mike Olt has a 2014 Topps Museum card (and probably more coming as other 2014 sets come out).
