Recent pick-ups...

Latest 90:

My one gunther 23 win (my first 23/23):

I also won a 1991 Topps Gallery of Champions from gunther. I was hoping I found the silver, but it turned out to be the aluminum. It was worth the gamble since I didn't lose out on too much.

Some recent pickups, all are "doubles" for me, bought each of these just because I thought they were cheap.

Grace 2004 Prime Cuts Glove/Jersey #3/5 - $19.50, Grace 2003 Leaf Limited Patch #7/17 - $5, Hack Wilson 2001 Fleer Genuine Bat - $22.

Big fan of the Ryno Zenith AP and the Hack Wilson bat. Nice additions.

I logged in today and finally see this:

[TD]2012 Topps Archive[/TD]
[TD] Framed Auto 1983 Mini of Ryne Sandberg[/TD]
[TD] Shipped[/TD]

[/TABLE]

Hopefully I see it in the next week or so!

Also recently picked up one of those posters with all the cubs topps cards!

When moneys a bit better plan on getting it framed and hanging in my basement.

Very nice mini Sandberg autograph. You might want to consider creating a Sandberg rookie and rookie reprint "rainbow." Get all the versions of the 83 Topps RC and all the different types of reprints. Not necessarily each reprint, but one regular sized auto, mini sized auto (you have these), a chrome and refractor version, the acetate auto they came out with this year; etc. Would make for a cool little collection.

Very sweet Sandberg auto. And it's not #'d 23. I still have a chance. And I agree, build that rainbow.

Yeah I am not sure what I am going to do with the Sandberg Mini.
Initially I figured I would keep it but I can buy a lot with what I think it could sell for.

I mean its not going to become my favorite card (nothing replaces the auto in my sig) so I put it on ebay with a high BIN and if I get a price I am happy with I will sell it. If not I am perfectly content on adding it to my sig.

Latest 23's (the first three are from the second round of gunther auctions):

People still buy Cubs cards? (sorry couldn't help myself)

Very nice SS patch

Just a few pickups

 

[James52411]

The 23 collection is definitely getting impressive.

CFBM, I especially hope those pitching prospects you are picking up turn out well for the Cubs fairly soon. That's what the boys need.

I hope so too

Anybody know if the Cubs handed out any team issue cards this year? Specifically anything I might need for my Dale Sveum collection? Haven't seen anything listed but its not like anyone would be expecting big $ anyways lol

 

[thelesquad]

Thanks, James. Here are a few more new ones:

 

[gracecollector]

The "23" collection does kick butt! Nice additions.

Added my first Grace 1/1 in a long time. 2005 Donruss Champions plate. Goes well with the extended rainbow...

Also got the 3 Grace ticket 2012 Cubs season ticket stubs issued this year. Interesting one was for the not-needed play-in game.

 

[James52411]

I really like that Sandberg/Banks dual jersey 23.

Anytime a Grace is added to that collection, it's going to be a true rarity.

 

[thelesquad]

Sweet rainbow! And I didn't realize they printed tickets for the play-in game. Very cool!

Does anyone know someone who collects Mark Grace?
