Cubs pickup thread

Nice card, especially at that price.

Nice everyone. Those Sandbergs are awesome. I like the whole you can see through the card and see the opposite side.

Here are a few of the nicer ones I've been able to pick up.

I Never see these Sweet Beginnings of Derrek with patches

You guys see the State Farm commercial with Wood and Dawson. Great commercial with my 2 favorite Cubs

That was an awesome commercial.

Traded to San Diego for Rizzo... but found this Cashner at a "Knives and Sportscards" store in Orlando, FL for $1.50. Was priced the same as his base chromes.

 

[cubfanbudman]

Nice pickup. I'd have grabbed that too

Nothing big, but three more Sosa GU arrived in the mail yesterday.

This commercial aired during the All-Star Game tonight. Love it!

Finally snagged one of these. This leaves me with six left to get from Beckett's 80's list (one of which may not exist - '89 Tara Plaques). This also puts me at 1500 Beckett recognized stuff.

Here are my most recent 23's.

Thought this was enough for a thread bump:

Very nice superfractor. Alfonso is rehabbing his Cubs legacy a bit this year. People forget how good he was in 2007 and 2008. Cubs overpaid for the guy, but he seems to be a quality teammate and has tried to do his best for the team.

A couple of new 23's:

Here's a promo that had been on my unofficial want list that I had previously never seen:

 

[gonzagacubs]

Picked these two up a few weeks back from James. My appolgies for not adding them to this thread earlier. I already had 2 Billy Williams autos in my collection, but these two blow the others out of the water. Super happy to have them in my collection.

I absolutely love the look of this card. I really think this would have been a great set to put together, but quickly realized it was not possible with my card budget after I looked at the checklist and the names in the set with the limited print runs.

I'm glad that they went to a good home!

I like that Soriano quite a bit and the latest "23" has a nice player selection.

I'm very excited to add these two cards to my Ernie Banks collection. Both are PSA 7 beauties.
