CUBS GRAIL obtained today!!! Its a BEAUTY!!!

[BIGSTIG]

So those of you who know me, know I am a DIE HARD Cubs fan...and LOVE my Cubs GU collection. Well I added a FANTASTIC piece to my GU puzzle today.

A 1988 Set 1 ALL ORIGINAL Andre Dawson Cubs Home jersey

Yes, I could have just put this in the April pick-ups...heck I could have started May pick ups since April is half over

But I am greedy, and wanted my own post to brag.

Thanks for letting me.

Nick,

Very cool! I know you have been searching high and low for this one- I'm glad you finally tracked it down!! So, now what's at the top of the grail list? I hope it's an easier find.

By the way, nothing wrong with a seperate thread to brag on your grail, but maybe I'm biased because I'm guilty of it too.

was this game used? looks remarkably pristine for a jersey over a score old.

Hard to tell by the pic but the pinstripes line up pretty well with this...

the pinstripe coming from the center of the collar doesn't look to match though.

Mark - Next on my list (well this has been first for a while) a Sutcliffe home or road jersey.

mbenga - It shows some puckering/pilling. Not HEAVY use, but use none the less.

Eric, looks close, but will search through a bunch of pics when I get the time. Thanks!!

Mike the BP?? Selling it to you?? Keeping it?? I am not sure.

Thanks for all the kind remarks, I am pretty excited to add it.

Now to find a Dawson Cubs hat and a Sutcliffe jersey!!

Re: CUBS GRAIL obtained today!!! Its a BEAUTY!!!

Was obtained through fellow Cubs GU collector, and one of the best in the hobby..Rob Steinmetz.

Yeah, like it's the only pinstripe he wore all season. There's always someone who wants to rain on the parade.

Sweet Jersey Nick, Congrats.

I hear you Larry. Some people just like to be negative.

I love the jersey, and that is what matters.

Thanks for the compliment!!

Nick, That's a real nice looking piece you got there. I know the feeling of obtaining your "grail." It took me years to hunt down certain Rickey Henderson jerseys, but once finding them, it's a great feeling. Don't worry about the negativity, you'll always encounter that. On your display frame, you should try to fold the sleeves to display the Cubs logo which would make it look even nicer. It looks real sharp right now. Congrats and enjoy!!

Hi Nick,

Great jersey and congrats on finally finding your grail!

I think Dawson should be the HOF one day. His numbers are incredible and untainted.
