Great pickup. Congrats.

Just realized today was the 30th anniversary of "The Sandberg" game. Coincidence? Lol

Thanks James

Yeah, I was high on him back in the day. Fortunately that didn't extend too far into my buying habits. Although I did get a RC Gold Refractor for about $40, they peaked right at $200 and now one is going unsold repeatedly at $10.

Looked him up when I made the purchase, he's got a 2.72 ERA for the Red Sox AAA team and in a bit of sad news, lost an infant son during Spring Training this year.

That's a beauty. Love Cubs cards with blue bordered refractors.

Same here.

Just BIN'd this. Not this exact one, but the scan is better

 

[James52411]

That's a sharp little number too. Gotta love a clear, crisp on-card autograph.

Just picked up a couple of these. One for me, and one for my dad. It's a Ryno For Prez '84 hat from the Topps website. On sale this week for $19.84, which is about 1/3 off the usual $30 price tag. Very cool hat.

I picked up the whole '84 kit a month ago.

 

[James52411]

What did you think of the kit? A lot of it seems cool, but the patches are rather pointless. I also wish the pennant was full size.

In hindsight, it wasn't worth the price I paid. I liked the tee and the hat. I will keep the ryno button and patch as well as the pennant. I will give away the other buttons and patches if anyone wants them.

 

[cubfanbudman]

Today's mail had some goodies in it. Won the Bryant's in 2 different Razzes and the roster book I picked up in a trade

Mark Grace turns 50 tomorrow. Feeling old. Two Recollection Collection autos from 2014 Donruss, he was just 24 years old when these cards were issued.

Those are totally sweet!

 

[gracecollector]

The one card I wanted out of this year's Allen & Ginters. I thought if I could find the one numbered to Grace's jersey #, that would be sweet. Luckily, it showed up and I won it yesterday.
