I have started a project attempting to acquire cards with a focus on autos of players with Nebraska connections. I decided to start with the approximately 30 major leaguers that wore a Nebraska-Lincoln baseball uniform. Off to a steady start.
I have collected Erstad since he was the #1 pick for the Angels while I was in High School but this was the first auto card I had acquired of his. The Shane Komine is a special one to me as he was one of my favorite pitchers for the Huskers. Had the opportunity to watch him pitch from the outfield stands in the CWS against Clemson. Adding autos of Joba Chamberlain and Alex Gordon will likely be the most expensive acquisitions with some players from the past with very brief MLB careers potentially being tough finds.
