Very happy with this pickup. My first game used piece

Hope to be adding a sweet piece of my player next week but we'll see

[Junior Griffey]

Got both of these in on Monday. Purple /10 and gold /50. After looking through my stacks for Vogelbach and Baez, I have way more than I thought.

Recent mailday...

Knocked two more off of Beckett's "playing years":

1985 Topps Gallery of Champions Silver #9 Ryne Sandberg

1996 Topps Gallery Players Private Issue #38 Ryne Sandberg

Added a few to the "23" collection:

2005 SP Legendary Cuts Legendary Duels Material #SS Ozzie Smith/Ryne Sandberg

2011 Topps Triple Threads Sapphire #57 Ryne Sandberg

2012 Topps Tribute Green #73 Ryne Sandberg

2012 Legends of the Hall Historic Autographs

That 1985 Silver Sandberg is a very impressive card. Congrats on the nice additions.

A couple of recent 23/XX (and my first Hawk auto).

 

[James52411]

A couple of Castro autographs I've picked up lately.

By the way, I like that gold Sandberg/Dawson auto, which looks like the stickers blend in pretty well given the card design. Also, nice pickup by JrGriffey on the Vogelbachs. I hope he ends up turning into something, though with the way LaHair and Rizzo are hitting he may need to drop a few LBs and learn how to play left field. Heck, Rizzo may need to learn how to play LF the way LaHair looks right now.

Seems high, but I guess people like his power potential.

Absolutely!

For the Don Zimmer PC - game-used lineup card. Mark Grace's career game #14. Typical Cubs showing, ground into 4 double plays and lose to Cardinals 1-4.

Nice! I've alway wanted to pick up a line-up card, but with Zim's sig, it belongs in that PC.

Nice lineup card. The 1988 Cubs weren't any good, but they actually had some pretty decent talent as I look at the roster. They placed 6 players on the All Star team.

Picked up all 3 cards in my sig within the past 4 months or so.

1983 RC, 2001 Archives Auto, and 2001 Archives Reserve Bat

Those are three sweet cards you've picked up. Glad you tracked down the Archives auto in particular. It's a tough find.

Here are a few of my Ryno adds over the last month.

Got a Trey McNutt BC Ref. Auto in from Topps today.

Thank James.
I missed out on about 3 Sandberg Archives Autos before I actually snagged one.
I think the listed print run is 200 but I have my doubts about that!

 

[ChasHawk]

Only recent pick-ups for me...

 

[James52411]

Nice jumbo jersey, Charlie.

 

[ChasHawk]

Thanks James! It's /25 and I have been outbid on several over the last few years.

The Dawson is /50, yet it's the only one I've ever seen, and I won it for next to nothing.

 

[thelesquad]

Got this in from the group sub today. First time I've ever submitted anything to be graded. Not bad for a $5 purchase.

 

[James52411]

Jackpot. Congrats on the grade.
