Not much of a Sammy fan anymore, but I love Sportflix and he was a Cub, so...

I don't know. Perhaps it's the same reason he's become lazy with his power stroke.

Finally got a Kerry Wood Auto. Just a couple more Cubs left for me to get autos of Cubs/Former Cubs who had some sort of impact on me.

1996 Leaf Preferred Steel Gold Promos #66 Ryne Sandberg

1997 Fleer Tiffany #282 Ryne Sandberg

1998 Pinnacle Epix Season Purple #E6 Ryne Sandberg - this is my first Epix Season.

Very nice inserts, Bob. Fleer did some excellent work in the late 1990s with their base set. I think 1999 Fleer is one of the best looking sets ever made.

 

[gonzagacubs]

Sweet looking inserts. Awesome Epix Season!

Thanks, guys. Ryno missed out on a few late 90s stuff that I, at times, wished he were in. Then I think about the funds it would take to acquire them.
