Back from Astros Spring Training and got some nice Autos!

[astrosrule1]

Well me and my family just got back from Kissimmee and we came back with some pretty surprising autos!
I usually go all out and be sure to have us all a card of everyone on the roster but this year I didn't have the time and I had a stack of them white index like cards they insert into packs so I just brought them for us.

So here is who all we got: (btw there is 4 of us!)
Matt Lindstrom x2
Sean Berry x4
Tim Byrdak x4
Jeff Fulchino x4
Brian Moehler x2
J.R. Towles x2
Kazuo Matsui x1
Edwin Maysonet x4
Matt Kata x2
Brian Esposita x4
Jason Bourgeois x1
Dave Clark x3
Hunter Pence x4
Roy Oswalt x4

Index Cards:
Sammy Gervacio
Brandon Lyons
Matt Nevarez
Chris Johnson
Gary Majewski
Chia-Jen Lo
Tommy Manzella
Brad Mills

On a Cap:
Brad Mills
Drayton McLane
Wilton Lopez

On a Ticket:
Brad Mills

Not to bad considering we only made it to 2 games this year because the women wanted to go to the Disney Parks the other days!
Been doing this for 3 years now and this was the first time I had ever seen Moehler sign at all and I had never gotten Hunter's either as he usually just signs for the little kids but he signed for everyone after the game (probably 200 or more!) but the highlight was defiantly getting Roy's sig as I have never seen him sign more than a few and always in one spot but he actually went all the way down the line for a while and we all 4 got him!

I have a question on the index cards though. I have never used them before to get autos on but have seen people on here a good bit with them so I thought since I had a stack I had gotten from packs and not enough time to get cards of everybody this year that I would use them. For the most part everything went fine but Manzella kind of jokingly said are you going to use this to steal my identity? And then Brad Mills I didn't think was going to sign it. He took forever and was questioning me about what are you going to do with it and then finally was like ok this time but i dont want to be signing anymore. I felt bad about it but how is that any different than signing the light spot of an actual card?? I will not use them again just to save me and the person both the hassel but has anyone else had this situation?

[whatever]

I'm jealous! I'd love to go to Astros ST. I had a friend who went last year and had a blast.

Are you going to fanfest this year?

[astrosrule1]

man ST is something every fan needs to experience at least once in their lives! been going for 3 years now and i hope it is something i can always manage to do especially once i have my own kids one day!

i dont know if i will make fanfest this year though... it is about a 3 hour drive for me and i was there around 3AM last year and it was fun but i ended up spending way to much money for backups (just because i didn't have their autos before!) and my job now requires me to work a few hours on saturday and just dont know if it is worth the hassle to find someone to work for me.
