Cubs pickup thread

I received most of my 2011 Topps Diamond Die Cuts today, and I'll also include a couple of other goodies I recently picked up.

Very nice, James. I just got my diamond anniversary as well. Still waiting on the right deal for the regular. Hopefully, Ryno gets in on the die-cut fiasco.

Topps actually is running voting on their Facebook page for one more retired die cut card and Ryno is one of 4 player left in the retired players "tournament bracket."

I am indeed aware. That's where my hope came from.

Picked up a hat today. 1994 gamer. Love the little bronze MLB 125th logo on back.

Awesome pick=up, Brad! One of these days...

 

[James52411]

Definitely an awesome pickup, Brad. I had a Cubs hat with the 1994 MLB sesquicentennial anniversary badge back in my senior year of high school.

I am very excited that my latest pickup showed up today. I was fortunate enough to pick this card up for less than I paid for the regular Real Ones issue. Here's my 2011 Topps Heritage Player Sample Real Ones autograph.

Very nice, James. Today, I get to celebrate two anniversaries (well, maybe just one). The wife and I are celebrating our 10th anniversary. And many Cubs fans know what happened 27 years ago.

Bob, congrats on the former and I hope you have decades more of celebrations. As for the latter, congrats go out to Cubs everywhere. Well...except perhaps Bruce Sutter.

I reached a corny milestone over the weekend - this is my 23rd 23/XX (and first auto):
2003 Donruss Signature Legends of Summer Autographs Century #36 Ryne Sandberg

I received number 24 the same weekend:
2005 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes Memorabilia Red #66 Ryne Sandberg Jsy

And Ryno needs more votes in the Die-Cut vote-in - http://www.facebook.com/Topps?sk=app_177694585621214.

Bob, very nice addition with that Sandberg autograph.

I received delivery on some eTopps cards out of my account. They really are great looking cards...

Just received my first ever 1/1. It's not my favorite design, but it's still a 1/1.
