WANTED: For the Crime of Being a Milwaukee Brewer

Another Brewers season has ended, perhaps the most exciting since the 2011 NL Central Championship squad. It is also the first post-season since I've gotten back into collecting and the first since I started my All-Time Brewers project. With the 2017 roster now finalized, I can get around to trying to plug up those gaps in my collection. As of the season's close, 862 different players have appeared as Pilots or Brewers. Of those, I have 830 cards in my collection. I am also in need of the Neftali Feliz and Jared Hughes cards from the Heritage High Numbers set, as those are (so far) their only cards in Brewers unis.


The Brewers didn't want him, but I NEED him.

UPDATE - Crossed two off the list just after posting. 

Here are my 32 30 MISSING Pil-rewers...

As you can see, a number of the more recent additions to this list will more than likely have cards in the soon-to-be-release Topps Update set or in next year's Topps flagship. Those I'm sort of waiting on at the moment, but I would graciously and eagerly trade for anything else on this list. I've made it my winter goal to complete this beast. 

Another of my winter goals is to add to my collection of signed Brewers cards. I've broken the 260 mark and have a bunch of them out in the mail right now for TTM requests. If you've got some autos laying around and you'd like to work out a swap, I've also got a list of Brewers autographed card NEEDS right here. A bit of a longshot for trading, but I wanted to put it up for my own interest as well. 

I'm catching up on card stuff today, as I am home sick with a real lil bastard of a head cold. Thankfully, I've got plenty to sort though and an ENTIRE DAMN DAY of playoff baseball to watch, so I shall survive. Thanks for reading.
