Were those all on ebay?

Don't remember seeing the Dawson listed.

Yep, all Ebay. The Dawson was a BIN/BO auction, and they accepted my $20 shipped offer pretty quickly. Dawson may not sell for as much as Sandberg, but it's hard to find a good Cubs patch of him.

:mrgreen:

I spend a bit more time looking than you do though... :lol:

I do know what you mean though. I have a ton of Dawson that are marked PRIME, but they are not actual patches.

When sorting through auctions I usually sort by highest price, so I miss a lot of Dawson stuff unless people bid it up at the beginning of the auction. Have you seen any jumbo Cubs patches of him? I had one of his from Topps Sterling, but I sold it because I thought it was from an Expos jersey.

Here are some of my Cubs pick-ups that haven't gotten around to scanning until recently.

Mark Grace is one of the few non-Sox, non-HOF guys that I wanted a button of.

You have such great taste in cards. Love all the additions.

That's 2 of the 6 Grace auto/buttons accounted for in this thread

The Sterlings were all from an Expos jersey with a Cubs picture on the card... ::facepalm:: :lol:

The only Cubs jumbos I know of are...

2004 Absolute Memorabilia Tools of the Trade Material Single Jumbo PS #10 Andre Dawson Jsy/1
2005 Absolute Memorabilia Tools of the Trade Autograph Swatch Single Jumbo Prime Black #70 Andre Dawson Cubs Jsy/1
2005 Absolute Memorabilia Tools of the Trade Autograph Swatch Single Jumbo Prime Red #70 Andre Dawson Cubs Jsy/5
2005 Absolute Memorabilia Tools of the Trade Swatch Single Jumbo Prime Black #70 A.Dawson Cubs Jsy/1
2005 Absolute Memorabilia Tools of the Trade Swatch Single Jumbo Prime Red #70 A.Dawson Cubs Jsy/5

So...13 total... :lol:

Only two I've ever seen are these...

These are all locked up overseas.

I got in another Baez Chrome auto and a Vogelbach refractor today, and recently won this:

Those are ridiculous and belong in AMERICA! (cue patriotic music)

Great stuff everyone. Good to see that all of us Cubs fans are over the disappointment of the 2011 flaming train wreck and back to collecting! Here are my Starlin Castro pickups over the last few months.

 

[thelesquad]

Suddenly I'm craving Skittles.

[James52411]

Great looking Sandberg autograph.

 

[ahill1]

Got a few pickups in the last week

 

[James52411]

Hopefully McNutt can re-establish himself as a higher tier prospect this year. All three of those cards are quite nice.

 

[ChasHawk]

A very nice gift that I received from James a couple days ago...

1970 Kellogg's 3D

He also included these...

The Sandbergs are all Tiffanys, and I'm almost embarrased to admit that 3 out the 4, I don't even have the Dawson version of... ::facepalm:: :lol:

Also got this in as part of a trade...

...and picked up the Prior on a whim.

 

[James52411]

About time you had some lenticular goodness in your collection, Charlie.

On to other news, did any of you maniacs purchase this Sandberg bat barrel auto? [ebay:c37qzkyx]140701851125[/ebay:c37qzkyx]

 

[ChasHawk]

Do you guys know who the Sandberg collector is that goes by "1488" on ebay?

He won that barrel card, and just outsniped me tonight for something.

 

[thelesquad]

I've tried contacting him, but he ignored me. He's one of the newer Sandberg collectors to pop up on the scene.

 

[ChasHawk]

Three previous Sweet Spots, all horrendously faded and numbered higher than mine all outsold mine in the last two weeks... :benson: :benson: :benson:

[ebay:2uwsepqh]260956024436[/ebay:2uwsepqh]

What a kick in the nuts. Pretty sure this is the only silver stitch listed since I won this one over two years ago. Should've just kept it.
