Cubs pickup thread

[James52411]

R to the izzo is off to a nice start. 2-3 with a single, double, and RBI. In other news, Randy Wells still stinks.

 

[James52411]

Got a nice on-card Billy Williams autograph from the Tier 1 and also upgraded my 1993 Finest Sandberg.

Nice job of the Cubs eliminating all the good vibes from the first two games of the Mets series with a Samardzija implosion and a 17-1 loss. *sigh*

James,
Very nice pick-ups. I eventually need to upgrade my 93 Finest Refractor.

Brad,
I'm interested to hear what he has to say about the flag.

Here are my recent pick-ups.

The 23's:

A couple of autos:
(If you count backwards, this would be #23 )

 

[cubfanbudman]

Hit the BIN for 14$ dlvd

 

[James52411]

Nice stuff guys.

Brad, that Grace flag is an awesome item. Have fun getting it signed.

Tai, nice stuff as always. I really like that SP autograph; gotta love the Ryne Stacheberg cards.

"Budman," hope the Jaimer comes along well for you. Expect to see a spike in Vitters. ESPN ranked him as a Top 10 prospect in baseball today.

 

[cubfanbudman]

Thanks James. Btw this is ahill who started this thread. Couldn't get old username to transfer over when boards switched over


That's the only Jeimer I have and saw it as a cheap BIN so hit it pretty quickly

 

[Junior Griffey]

Nice price on the Candelario. His stuff has jumped up pretty nicely over the past few weeks.

 

[Pastretta]

Yeah Jeimer cards have jumped pretty quick. Probably better to pick some of them in the offseason. I was lucky to get 1 refractor auto for around 14 or 15. No matter which base chrome I tried to win I was always sniped.

 

[thelesquad]

Just got another 23 in today:

I finally took the time to get an updated list of my Sosa game-used. One of these days I may go through and update my base/inserts, but that would take at least a couple hours (as I have at least 600-700 base and inserts that are unorganized).

And here are the two pick-ups that encouraged me to update everything:

2005 Absolute Memorabilia Tools of the Trade Sammy Sosa jumbo GU /300

2005 Leaf Limited Threads Sammy Sosa patch /100 (scan cut off bottom of the card)

 

[James52411]

Tai,

That's a great looking autograph you picked up. I'd like to get a refractor version eventually, but we can't buy everything, you know?

Very nice Sosa jerseys as well.

Yes, sir, I do, but it sure is fun trying.

 

[Pastretta]

Jeimer base autos on fire...But his start is solid through 17 games. .338 Average 4 HR 13 RBI .384 OBP Slugging .544 OPS .928

 

[thelesquad]

My new most expensive card topping the '90 Aqueous, and my new favorite 23:

 

[thelesquad]

What do you think? Ryno?



Another version:

 

[cubfanbudman]

Definitely Ryno. I remember playing that when I was little

Awesome pickup on the Tier One!

 

[thelesquad]

Thanks!

 

[JzWand]

Picked these 2 cards up:

Definitely not too fond of the uni but I wanted this card for a while

Cant argue with a Ryno auto for less than $45.
