Zim at the 2010 Andre Dawson softball fundraiser I saw him at. And the program I got signed there.

Quite the ending for that set Talmer! I wonder if Keith will be able to hunt down the remaining cards needed.
It was a good ending for my ownership of those cards. I know they are still all together and not bought by someone to try to break up and resell(not that they could).

I have seen 1 copy of a signed Ted Williams that sold before I started the set and found 2 post accident Campanellas that were not for sale but neither of us have ever seen a Rice or Thompson.

Good afternoon guys! On the road to my dads. We left about 3 hours ago and have 3-4 hours left to go. We are going to the Sioux Falls canaries game tonight, they are an independent league team. My dad participates in the Big Brother Big Sister program so we are going to take his 'little brother' to the game with us. I also brought a couple of things for my dad to do with him this summer. This is the first time that our Lionel train set will be out of my possession since we first set it up lol. It's from the 1950's for the most part except for some of the train cars are newer. Last time I had it up and running was probably 4-5 years ago at my grandmas for Christmas.

Made it the hotel. Staying on Broadway, I believe we are 7 blocks from Wrigley

Sad day for me with the passing of Don Zimmer. I hope his Heaven looks a little like this...

Sad day for everyone in baseball

Enjoy the game, we gifted ya the last two, haha

Gift us one more today! I will have to double check but I don't think I have seen the Cubs lose at Wrigley in three career games attended.

@Hawk8
looks a little big. Good thing these kids grow fast!

This one fits him good, the other one is just a hair too big, but like you said they grow fast!

A bunch of 2013 Topps Target Red parallels recently hit COMC, and the seller is asking $20 apiece for commons. Did I miss something? Did some new info surface to say these are really super duper rare, or is the seller (to paraphrase Bob Uecker) juuuuuust a bit off in his pricing?

I didn't get a chance to look over the rosters very well. I do know joe Bircher is with the canaries. He was drafted by the Astros in 2012 and I got him TTM last year

Overturned call at home on what would have been out number three gives the Cubs their first run. On the next pitch the Cubs pitcher hits a two run home run!

Went to Menard's today. Got caught in a torrential downpour.

Got a wheelbarrow, tamper, weed whip, gas can, metal garbage can and a couple other things. Still need to find some curtain rings (not what they loop through, but so you can slide them through, without tying them up).
