    Bartman gets WS ring

    I had an odd view of this whole fiasco. As many know I worked for the Cubs for a number of years and trained many of the security people that were assigned to keep Steve Bartman safe. It was odd to see these guys I knew on television that night trying to hustle this innocent fan out of the...

    Going to the Chicago National, Need anything?

    I am going to assume this did not happen. Oh well. It was worth a shot anyway and honestly, I did not expect anything to come from this request as the quantities were indeed limited. Thanks to anyone who gave it a try for me!

    Going to the Chicago National, Need anything?

    If anyone gets there early tomorrow and gets to the Baseball Card Exchange booth in the corporate area please pick me up two Don Mattingly 1984 Donruss rookies. They have them on sale while supplies last for five bucks. And if you get there early and happen to see that they have some Aparicio...

    Poll: Topps New Era Caps

    I hate the fact that when I buy a MLB hat I am now a walking billboard for New Era with their logo embroidered on the side. I don't care how good these hats may look I certainly will not buy one to be a billboard for Topps now too! My response may be a little "get off my lawn-ish" but they...

    After 38 years in the hobby, I recently learned something

    Not to mention that Charlie Finley, owner of the A's at the time gave bonuses to players who grew mustaches as he wanted his team to look like old time ball players. It was for this reason that Rollie Fingers grew his now famous handlebar mustache which has become his trademark.

    Ok, Lets try this a different way. How about a good old fashioned 25, 50 cent and dollar box sale. Please let me know if you have any questions or need photos of these cards. Just PM me if you want something as the first PM I receive gets what is requested (assuming more than one person...

    Season long "post a picture at the game" thread>>

    I dont have any photos that I took but have a video and some screen grabs. I am embarrassed to say that all of the years working at Wrigley Field as well as playing baseball apparently have not worked well for me later in life. We were at the Brewer game today and sitting in right field when...

    Charlie Sheen selling Babe Ruth's '27 WS Ring and Ruth's sale document from Red Sox to Yankees.

    There has always been a bit of a shadow hanging over the ring Sheen owns. There are many who question its authenticity but I guess we may never know. http://deadspin.com/5775565/the-messy-history-of-charlie-sheens-winning-ring

    my 1980 kellogs set

    Great set!! I always loved the Kellogg's sets for some reason. I remember having a pile of them but I left them in my dads car overnight and the temperature was down below zero. I went out to get them and didn't let them warm up and cracked every one of them. I had thought about assembling a...

    How low can we go? Card collecting in the 2010s...what will the 2020s have left for us?

    I have been collecting cards for the better part of 40+ years and every so often you hear that kids are not collecting anymore and yet they still seem to do so. Collecting sports cards will rise and fall in collector interest but the base collector will remain and help keep the hobby rooted in...

    August 2008 club sound off like you got a pair!

    08-24-2008 for me. It took me a few weeks to see where everyone went. Maybe I should have taken that as a sign. lol

    Jay Johnstone autograph/Wounded Warrior Program

    Johnstone used to come out to the bleachers at Wrigley and sell signed baseballs for 15 bucks. People could not believe it was actually but he was out there in full uniform hawking his baseballs. If memory serves me correctly the money went to ALS foundation. Jay has always done crazy stuff...

    1920's Bat Pickup of my guy Carl Lundgren, and rest of my Lundy PC

    Awesome find Brad. Let me know if you ever get to exhibit at the library as I would love to come see it. My wife has family members that played on that field as a child back in the 30's and possibly even farther back and it is intriguing to wonder of any of those relatives crossed paths with...

    2017 hobby goals **last week of the year!!**

    My one goal is to rekindle that spark for this hobby I have had for 40+ years but seems to have fizzled out in recent years. I love reading about the hobby but the thought of actually going out and buying a card or anything for that matter leaves me flat.

    A sad day for Philly Phans

    A little something I wrote for my Facebook earlier today. Outside of my friends who know and enjoy the game of baseball, it is doubtful that anyone would know the name of Dallas Green. As a recent high school graduate who joined the Cubs security team (and later worked in the front office) in...

    Anyone On Here Buy The Canseco Bat Barrel?

    That is an excellent question. I just do not understand why someone would pay this kind of money for a barrel when they could easily obtain a whole game used bat for a fraction of the cost. Maybe I am just old school or something but I just do not understand paying this kind of money for a...

    Today is my Cardboard Birthday!

    spring 1973. A friend had some cards and being someone who was freaking nuts about baseball, baseball cards were a natural progression. I took a few years off in high school but for the most part I have been collecting since '73.

    So who wants a game used tie?

    I have three or four Chicago Cubs neck ties from my days with the team. It is solid navy blue with very small Cubs logos all over it. I wonder what those would bring on the 'Bay?

    1940s "Scored" Scorecard pickup-with a HUGE BONUS!!!

    There is nothing cooler than a period piece with two vintage autographs of hall of famers. And would you look at the names that were a part of that game??? That is like a Field of Dreams moment to see that game. Congrats on your pick up.

    Today's Photo of the Day...... The Washington Monument (Frank Howard)

    I remember reading about Frank Howard as a young boy and and for some reason I had always wanted to meet him. I am unsure as to why I held a fascination with this player I had only seen on television a few times as he was not a superstar by today's definition but there was just something that...

    Newest hof pickups

    Nice line up of announcers you have there. As a guy who grew up listening to Hall of Famer Jack Brickhouse who was the Cubs broadcaster for decades, I will, of course, feel like you should add him to your mix. Brickhouse had the honors to broadcast so many World Series and All Star Games on...
