1968 Signed Astrocard
 

I recently picked up a signed Astrocard. The card itself is from 1965, but based on my research, was signed in 1968. Below is a list who signed and when they played for the Houston Colt 45's / Astros. Of course the key signature is Don Wilson who passed away January 5, 1975. There is one signature I can not make out and I have enclosed a close up.. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Tom

P. S. I think all of the signatures are genuine.

I believe it is Mike Cuellar.

With you bringing Mike's name to my attention, I checked against other signed items and you are right on. It is none other then 1969 Co - Cy Young winner Mike Cuellar. Boy did he have a wild but fancy signature! Sadly, he passed away April 2, 2010.

I have a Cuellar signed ball. Definitely his signature.

Thanks for helping me nail that down. I paid $30.00 for the card and I was very happy with the deal.
