I get the crappy autographsby Jgamble - 103 cards (Last updated on Nov 15, 2022) |
11. 2000 Just - Autographs #BA-13 Brandon Inge
2nd round (57) pick by the Tigers in the 1998 draft. He was the final out of the 2006 World Series (because of course he was) and hit zero home runs in the Home Run Derby in 2009 which is terrifying. Shockingly he suited up for two other organizations after the Tigers. Now he helps rich brats learn to play ball in Brighton somewhere.

12. 2004 SP Prospects #361 Cory Dunlap
3rd round (88) pick by the Dodgers in the 2004 draft. Dunlap got to AAA with Las Vegas in 2006 and flamed out. Whereabouts unknown.

13. 2005 Bowman Chrome - Refractors #334 Jake Postlewait
7th round (200) pick by the Rockies in the 2004 draft. 7th round pitcher in the Rockies org...Jake never had a shot, as he was out of baseball by 2007. He's now a banker and a taxidermist in Oregon.

14. 2005 Donruss Leather & Lumber - Signatures Lumber Cuts #LC-163 Mark McLemore
4th round (131) pick by the Astros in the 2002 draft. The card even basically says "not the good Mark McLemore." But he actually made it to the show in 2007, appearing in 29 games in relief. It's a shame the good Mark McLemore couldn't hang on for three more seasons and faced the bad Mark McLemore. He flamed out in 2011 after the Marlins were like nah.

15. 2006 Topps - Autographs #TA-BL Bobby Livingston
4th round (129) pick by the Mariners in the 2001 draft. This card I actually got from a pack, which was my best hit as a collector to that point. Imagine my grief in seeing who it was. I almost tore it in half right there in the drugstore. Bobby stunk it up all over the country for about 10 years before flaming out of Indie ball in 2013.

16. 2006 Topps Chrome - Refractors #339 Jason Botts
Someone just kill me now with both hands.
|
17. 2006 Topps Co-Signers - Solo Sigs #SS-ARE Anthony Reyes
13th round (380) pick by the Tigers in the 2002 draft. Then dominated them 4 years later in game one of the 2006 World Series. Sooo...this may be the most heroic player auto I have.

18. 2006 Upper Deck Special F/X - Special Endorsements #SE-RF Ron Flores
There were a measly 55 cards of this nobody even created. I don’t blame Ron, I blame Upper Deck for this fiasco. And I love Upper Deck.

19. 2007 Justifiable - Autographs #JF-14 Steve Hammond
6th round (175) pick by the Brewers in the 2005 draft. That late and with the Brewers? What's the point? I don't even think I'd even post a Facebook update about that. Hammond flamed out in 2009 in the Giants org before playing with the rest of the washed-up tubs of guts on the Sugar Land Skeeters. I don't even want to bother with a where-are-they-now, because it would be like googling "Joe Smith" or something.

20. 2007 SPx - Autofacts Preview #AU-CM Carlos Maldonado
Who? No. Um...Signed with the Seattle Mariners in 1996 as an undrafted free agent. He was pretty crummy, but he at least made the Majors. Now coaching in Texas.

#4, Brett Cardonna. Here's some more info on him: https://twitter.com/brettcaradonna?lang=en | ||
Steve Hammond must have been listening to a Conway Twitty record when he signed his name. Best list I've read in a while. I almost want to buy some cheap scrub autos and mail them to you, just to read your evaluations . | ||
@switzr1 I'd take them. That would be fun. @C2Cigars That's cool for him! Glad he's teaching. | ||
‘Auto looks like a Ross Perot self portriat’ I did literally laugh out loud, and my wife looked at me and rolled her eyes 😆 | ||
Dude, I think Eddie Rosario read your preseason comments and decided to play himself off your list. Currently leading the American League in home runs, as of May 10. And it's all because of you!! | ||
This list made me laugh more than a few times. :D | ||
Hahaha .. I like this list... The part I like most is the last portion of each comment where it says "Auto looks like .... " ... Some of those are funny. | ||
Fun list. In all seriousness, I'd be interested in any of the Houston ones, if you've still got them. I can send you some more flameouts for the list if you like. | ||
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 | ||
hey, dont throw shade at the Vanimal! | ||
Yes, that vrooomed's autograph is absolutely terrible. Even a drunk chicken with a pen in it's claw could do a better job! Even the military wouldn't draft that asthmatic candy-[ahem]. So, no, he was never drafted. Drafty, many times. | ||
#49 in your list reminded me of an AUTO I once pulled from one of those $5 dollar Walgreens 100-card packs of random cards that guarantees a "hit" (an AUTO) in 1 out of every 4 packs. I pulled a bumb who was a former prospect of the Angels named Chevy Clarke. His Auto looks sort of like an inverted bow and arrow. The Auto I pulled was this one from 2010 Donruss Elite Extra Edition, what a bumb: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-Donruss-Elite-2-Card-Chevez-Chevy-Clarke-Auto-Autograph-Lot/143231950253?hash=item21594a1dad:g:l84AAOSwN3lcxeiB:sc:USPSFirstClass!72205!US!-1

Your style of humor in this list makes me laugh. You got jokes, Gambler! | ||
" Not an autograph, but I am too stupid to figure out how to remove cards from lists " lmao | ||
I got a Trey Beamon back in the 90's. Funny stuff.
| ||
I bet buying those crappy 100 card cheap boxes from BigLots or Walgreens really helped with adding to this list! | ||
.
| ||
This is a good list The commentary absolutely makes it great | ||
Gotta get back to some trading today, but reading through the first 10 was a riot. Will have to come back and read through the rest...too much fun! | ||
Some of these got a chuckle out of me.. Orlando Cabrera was an Undrafted Free Agent in 1993.. I would have loved to get that Vidro.. Instead I get some random guy who never made it anywhere in Seattle or Laz Diaz... lol |
