Show Me You Chicago Cubs Stuff...

I was taking a look at a similar Chicago Bears post and was able to see some really cool stuff. I thought it'd be fun to see what everyone has out there of the Northsiders...

No camera to post pics, but I have over a dozen GU caps, including 9-11 flag caps of Carlos Zambrano and Dusty Baker; a few GU jerseys, the favorite of which is are 1995 BPs of Bob Patterson and Kent Bottenfield (both received from the players themselves), and several bats, including a 1993 LS Derrick May (my first bat from a player in the 1990s) and a rookie year Rawlings bat of the late Geremi Gonzalez I got in trade from Geremi in exchange for some Venezuelan baseball memorabilia.

Hi folks, first time poster!

I'm a huge Cubs fan and love collecting Cubs game-used stuff, particularly jerseys. I don't go for star players or anything really high-value because I play in a league, on a team with Cubs-like colors, and like to occasionally wear Cubs stuff in practice.

I started out buying stuff that fit my budget and was available, and have since moved "up" to stuff that I really, really like.

For example, the first Cubs jersey I ever acquired was a 1997 #60 Jose Espinal spring training home white shirt. I liked it because of the Jackie Robinson patch, and back then (2002) GU jerseys weren't so easy to find. Only after I got it did I discover something more interesting: the tagging says "20 46-97-2". Turns out that the jersey was worn in '97 by fan favorite #20 Miguel Cairo, and the "2" had been removed for a "6" for the next spring training. Since Espinal has an "i" right in the middle of his name just like Cairo does, they left the I on the back and replaced ony the other letters in ESPINAL!

Other Cubs stuff I've got:

* #40 home 2005 jersey made for Todd Wellemeyer. He was traded in spring training and I don't think anyone actually wore the jersey. It's in great condition, though the Cool Base inserts are just slightly yellowing, and the Cubs logo is dead flat and totally pristine.

* #43 Michael Wuertz 2006? practice jersey. Love the simple unadorned blue look. I bought it because a friend of the family once played for the Cubs and wore #43. I want to get him to sign it -- experienced collectors, is that a no-no? There's zero possiblity of me ever acquiring this player's actual #43, and the shirt I have is only a BP jersey. Safe to get signed?

* #48 Scott Williamson 2005 home. I was a big Joe Borowski fan but his #48 jerseys would be way too big for me. Next-best solution: find another #48 who's my size. Scott Williamson filled the bill. And in 2005 there were no ugly names on the backs -- this might be my favorite Cubs shirt. I never want to let go of it.

* #29 Mike Fontenot 2005 home blue alternate. Might be the first jersey he ever wore in the majors: he made his debut during a doubleheader at home, and they usually switch uniforms between games, but I don't know whether it was the first game or the second where they wore blue. The Cubs mis-labeled it at their convention and I didn't know it was Fontenot's until I did some research. (The Cubs' tag says Danny Klassen, who had 29 in spring training, but the blue alts aren't worn in the spring, and Klassen is too big to fit into this Mike-sized jersey.)

* #37 Angel Guzman 2005 home blue alternate. The Cubs jersey I'd always wanted... my favorite number, well-worn so I can wear it myself in my league games with no reservations, and it's my size (44-46). Guzman later bulked up to a 50, and after 2007 the alts have names on the backs, which I dislike, so it was this *specific* jersey that I'd been looking for. A steal on eBay at $100.

* #15 1992 Chuck Cottier home pinstripes. The classic Cubs style: blue single-layer numbers on the back, button-down. Cottier was the 3B coach and you can tell where the sun was shining because parts of the sleeve are sun-bleached! This is a size 42 and is a little small for me so despite its solid game use, I never wear it. I paid a little too much for it, but this was around 2003 when it didn't look like the Cubs were ever going to have jerseys without names on the backs at home, and I wanted one. Little did I know that they'd be going back to basics in 2005-06.

* #53 and #67 Rich Hill and Micah Hoffpauir 2007 practice jerseys. I thought I might like to try one of these light jerseys out in my own practices, but with The Hoff having come to Japan (where I live), I think I'm going to sell his jersey to a Nippon Ham Fighters fan for a profit. Hill's jersey is a little big for me.


Posting all this, I'm noticing that my collection really is getting too big. If anyone's looking to trade/buy (is this OK, mods?), I might be interested except for #37 and #48 which I never want to let go of.

Let me figure out how to get photos on Flickr and make these things visible!

[BIGSTIG]

Wish this thread had the head of steam the bears or one of the other team show off threads has,

Picked up a 1984 Steve Trout uniform. Cost me an arm & a leg but well worth it!!!

Anyone have anything similar in regards to Cubs let me know.

[nevrdiez34]

VERY nice pickup Nick! Love the "Rainbow" Trout blue pullover. I've been meaning to add more to this thread as well, perhaps this weekend I'll get around to posting picks of some of my pickups from the last few months.

[gameon]

Im having problems downloading pictures with the pixel limits and not sure how to correct that. Anyway, I have game used bats of some of my favorite 69 Cubbies Willie Smith,Al Spangler,Oscar Gamble,Jimmie Hall,Manny Jimenez,Johnny Hairston. Also a Wrigley Field seat and turnstyle. Just about all of 69 Cubs team on single-signed balls in a nice display case. If I figure out the picture thing, I will get them posted. Always looking for 69 Cub GU bats and equipment.

[Desi]

I was started to catalog everything for insurance purposes, so I have some photos to post. I have a lot more bats to post, but need to take pics:

I am a proud collector of Cubs road styles going back to 1966. Jerseys shown here include Sammy Sosa, Randy Hundley, Leon Durham, Bill Madlock, and Jerome Walton among others. Also shown is a bat set for the 1998 Cubs team complete with a Wrigley Field rooftop 1998 flag.

WOW, I dont get jealous often, but I am!!! A Hundley flannel is one I'd love to own some day, well so is the Durham....should I go on :)

The other older ones shown are 1981 - Pat Tabler (light blue pinstripe), 1974 - Matt Alexander, 1973 - Juan Pizzaro and 1967 - unknown number 40 - could have been Don Larsen as he pitched in three games in 1967 or could have been Pete Mikkelesen. Some websites show Larsen as number 40 and some show his as 33 for his limited Cubs days. Cool either way.

Here are a few of my Cubs items, both game used and one of a kind Wrigley Field items. I'm always interested in seeing what others have, and what they may be willing to part with (especially from members of the '84 club).

[matt7475]

Here are some of my Cubs jerseys

[matt7475]

The jerseys in my previuos post are:

Bill Buckner 1982 home jersey set 1
Jody Davis 1983 home jersey set 1
Rick Sutcliffe 1986 road set 2
Billy Williams 1988 set 1 (had been recycled to minors)
Mark Grace 1993 set 2

[sox83cubs84]

For newbies:

Matt's Grace jersey is an unusual one. It's a 100% legitimate jersey, but it shows a tagging variation unique to most (though not all) 1993 Russell Cubs gamers. Note the collar strip tag "17-46-2". For some reason, Russell did not include a year in most strip tags in 1993 Cubs gamers. Years are a standard feature of Russell strip tags in other Russell gamers from 1992-99.

Dave Miedema

[BIGSTIG]

Been way to long for an addition to this thread. Here are some new ones and one that came back home over the past month or so.


1981 Home Jerry Morales
1982 Home Lee Smith
1985 Road Jody Davis
1987 Home Scott Sanderson
1987 Road Bobby Dernier

[BIGSTIG]

The Bullpen Pitching Rubber used for Kerry Woods last warm up on his final game. The Cubs are keeping the actual game rubber, and home plate sold via mlb.com auctions.

It is pretty cool. I have seen Woody warm up so many times, and to have this one is pretty cool. It has not been changed all season. Was removed on 5/20/12. His last appearence was 5/18/12

Now to figure out how to get this filthy thing signed.

[BIGSTIG]

Realize I never put up pics of the last 5 jerseys I listed....

[nevrdiez34]

VERY nice pickups Nick, love the bullpen rubber! Now if I could just figure out how to post high resolution pictures I'd start posting some of my meager items.

[BIGSTIG]

Found me another winner!!!!

1987 Sutcliffe aka Red Baron Road Jersey!!!


Sorry about the blury photos!!!

[nevrdiez34]

My latest pick up, Starlin Castro's 2011 MLB All-Star Game worn Hat.

[mlbforeverhomer]

I just traded a good friend who happened to catch Alfonso Soriano's 4th of 2012, #344 of his career home run baseball. He hit it in the first series in Houston, a monster shot bouncing it off the left field wall. Thrown up to him by Jordan Schafer. Great ball, that I have well documented with a signed detailed contract, with witnesses... Etc! If anyone is interested please feel free to email me. The baseball is a 50th Ann. Astros commemorative!*

[nevrdiez34]

My Cubs used Fielding Gloves, Aramis Ramirez 2008-2009 used Pre-game / Warm Up Fielding Glove and Sammy Sosa 2000 GU Fielding Glove...Finally starting to get a hold of this whole uploading photos thing. :) Thanks Nick!

[BIGSTIG]

Them Are Some Great Gloves!!!!

[nationals2k9]

Starlin Castro 2010 game used rookie bat. Excellent use, Steiner authentication, found a few solid style matches. Was called up on May 7 and sold to original owner on June 1 of 2010. Interesting that pictures show he didn't begin to regularly label the knobs with his #13 until June and beyond. Gave up some good stuff to get it but think it was a great deal for both!

[nevrdiez34]

My Kerry Wood Game Used Items...

2002 Game Used Road Hat
2008 Game Used Home Hat
2008 Game Used Belt

[nevrdiez34]

My most recent pick-up, Anthony Rizzo's game used hat from his Chicago Cubs debut. MLB Authenticated to June 26th, 2012. After the game Rizzo was on the receiving end of a whip cream pie to the face courtesy of Matt Garza. Although the hat was wiped off a bit, a lot of whip cream remains on the cap.

[bigwill17]

Game used lineup of Rizzo's first game with the Cubs June 26, 2012. The Cubs weren't selling theirs so this is the Mets lineup card from the game

[nevrdiez34]

Great lineup card bigwill17, if you're ever considering parting with it let me know.

[MUSEOVEN]

No camera to post pics, but I have over a dozen GU caps, including 9-11 flag caps of Carlos Zambrano and Dusty Baker; a few GU jerseys, the favorite of which is are 1995 BPs of Bob Patterson and Kent Bottenfield (both received from the players themselves), and several bats, including a 1993 LS Derrick May (my first bat from a player in the 1990s) and a rookie year Rawlings bat of the late Geremi Gonzalez I got in trade from Geremi in exchange for some Venezuelan baseball memorabilia.

Dave Miedema
HELLO DAVE DO YOU STILL HAVE THE GEREMI GONZALEZ BAT? THANKS

No...another forum member bought it from a classified ad I posted here during the spring.

Lineup card of Anthony Rizzo's first game with the Cubs now including autograph!

[BIGSTIG]

It has been a few years since I let go of my Alou jersey & cleats. Thanks to a fellow collector I was able to get my hands on another set.

I have decided to narrow my Cubs collection to my favorite player at each position and get one jersey of each player.

Alou was only on the team for 3 seasons, but he was a favorite of mine. This is a 2002 Alternate.

So here is who else I decided on....

1st - Grace (still looking)
2nd Sandberg (have one)
SS - Dunston (have one)
3rd - Vance Law (Yes I said Vance Law :) - I am still looking)
OF - Alou (have one)
OF - Dernier (have one)
OF - Dawson (still looking)
C - Jody Davis (have one)
P - Sutcliffe (have one)
P - Maddux (still looking)
P - Wood (still looking)

[gingi79]

If a gorgeous blue Shawn Camp jersey is in your collection and you want to sell it to a huge fan of his, I'd take it off your hands.

[cubsWSchamps]

If anyone has a Castro or Rizzo bat they are willing to trade PLMK cubswschamps@gmail.com


Also who all is going to Cubs Convention in a few weeks?

[vdsporty25]

I wanted to get this thread going again with spring in the air and the baseball season right around the corner.

Here is a 2010 Rookie Season Starlin Castro game used batting helmet that I have photomatched to several images throughout the season. Its hard to get the right lighting to show the matches in the pictures I take but the use is phenomenal and there are several distinct areas of pine tar, scuffs and stress marks that make this a homerun for my collection....

[vdsporty25]

Here is an uncracked bat used by Cubs Prospect Jorge Soler last year in Peoria. The bat shows awesome use and with pure luck I was able to photo match it very nicely....

[Cubsfan4life]

Love the Castro helmet. Just a couple things I've gotten:

Not game used, but certainly Cubs related, my Cubs All-Century Team Poster. Each autograph has been obtained in person between November 2011 and now. Unfortunately I didn't start this project a few years earlier, as I missed out on getting Ron Santo to sign it. In total there are eight signatures, Mark Grace, Fergie Jenkins, Lee Smith, Andre Dawson, Bruce Sutter, Ryne Sandberg, Billy Williams and Ernie Banks. I believe the only living players on the poster I haven't obtained yet are Sammy Sosa and Andy Pafko.

[dpbrand]

I am super excited about the newest addition to my collection! Opening Day (4/1/13) against Pittsburgh. Bat was cracked in the top of the 5th inning. Was it used to blast the bomb in the 1st inning? Maybe – I am in the process of trying to find some good photos to prove it!

[rdeversole]

Here's a screen grab. Looks promising with those marks. Compare the wood grain pattern on yours with this one.

[dpbrand]

Thank you for providing the photo. Comparing a few of the ball marks, wood grain, label position on the grain, and pin tar pattern - I think it is a match! Thanks again for helping with the photo.

[Cubman15]

Hey guys! I think this is the thread that pushed me over the top to join GUU. My collection is very modest compared to most of yours, but with the help of Nick, I've added some new pieces that I absolutely love!

Please forgive me ahead of time if my pictures arent easy on the eyes since I'm trying to get used to the format of this forum.

1. The first picture is an original drawing by my sister in law, showing the three original members of the HOF from the 1969 Cubs. Ernie, Fergie, and Billy each signed it with the year that they entered the HOF.

2. Fergie signing picture.

3. Ernie signing picture.

4. Another original piece, signed by the fourth HOF member of the 1969 team, Mr. Ron Santo. Ron signed along his arm and it was the only piece he signed as he walked off the stage from the WGN radio interview during the 2007 (I believe) Cubs Convention.

5. Mark Grace drawing

6. Starlin Castro (signed last year at the Convention)

7. My growing collection of game used pieces. There are game used bats of (in no particular order): Dunston, Durham, Dwight Smith, Walton, Sosa, D-Lee, Jody Davis, Moreland, Sarge, Castro, Rizzo (uncracked & signed), and Aramis. Game used batting gloves of Dunston (signed), Aramis (signed), and Grace. Game used hat of Grace. Game used base signed by Billy Williams. Game used Wood jersey (2000).

8. Wrigley Field seat back signed by: Dunston, Sveum, Pinella, Moreland, Pappas, Williams, Banks, Harden, Soto, Beckert, Jody, Hundley, Dernier, Sutcliffe, Dempster, and the last name slips my mind.

9. Personal photos that I took and had autographed, from Hendry, Kasper, Dernier, and Dempster.

I'd love to see any new additions that you guys have added. I'm also at the Convention every year if anyone is ever interested in going. Looking forward to talking to you guys!

[Cubman15]

Any new items boys? I know it's tough watching our Cubbies these days, but what else is new? What's new???

[nevrdiez34]

A few Geovany Soto GU pickups from last month. The bat was used April 30th, 2008, for both of Soto's home runs (first multi-HR game of his career). Signed and inscribed "2x HR's" and "GU 4-30-2008". And a Geovany Soto 2008 GU road cool base jersey with great use, signed and inscribed "NL ROY" and "Game Used 2008".

[nevrdiez34]

A few pickups from last week, a Carlos Zambrano 2009 GU Blue Alternate Jersey signed by Carlos "2009 Game Used" and a Mark DeRosa 2008 GU Blue Alternate jersey (Tagged 2007 but held over for 2008 as the Cubs did not use blue alternate jerseys in any game in 2007 (the Tom Hellman Cubs LOA confirms this).

[vdsporty25]

Just picked up a couple Grace gamers this month that I am really excited about.....

I also just picked up a 2013 Rizzo Bat that I will post pics of when I receive.

[CubbyBear8]

Sorry as I said I'm new here and I guess I did not post my pics correctly. Can anyone help me out how to do this?

[CubbyBear8]

I think I got it now. :D

[CubbyBear8]

And here is the Wood Issued/Used Signed Jersey. One of my favorites! Will be posting a picture of the Rizzo bat in a few days

[vdsporty25]

Hey CubbyBear8 (http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_forum/member.php?u=9619)the items you have are awesome!!! Looking forward to seeing what else you have!

[CubbyBear8]

Thanks! Nice Grace gamers. Really cool to see everyone's collections. nevrdiez34 , where did you pick up the Z Gamer? Awesome jersey!

[nevrdiez34]

CubbyBear8, thanks and welcome to the forum! Great to see this thread gaining some momentum again with some very nice items posted in the last few days. I got the Big Z from another Cub collector who listed a different Cub jersey on eBay. We got to talking about other items and I purchased the Zambrano jersey from him as well. I've been looking for a blue alternate Zambrano for a few years and just when I started thinking Nate (Cubsfan4life) had every one of them I was finally able to find one!

[spartakid]

Will post pics of my Dan Vogelbach glove and cleats, don't think I've contributed to this thread yet.

[spartakid]

Wait just kidding, had them on my computer.

[ChiGuy1]

Here they are....

Nice grace bats. If ever interested in moving one let me know. Thanks-

[CubbyBear8]

[vdsporty25]

Sweet Rizz bat man! Did you pick that up from the team or another collector?

Go Cubs

[CubbyBear8]

Sweet Rizz bat man! Did you pick that up from the team or another collector?

Go Cubs

Thanks man! Picked it up directly from the team. I've been holding off all year, waiting to pull the trigger. Also was waiting for prices to come down- and his bat prices did by a few hundred dollars from what I was originally quoted in April/May.

Now to get it signed in Spring Training...

[cards-bats]

I picked this one up for my Cardinals collection ...

You might not like it as much if Cubs fans started hijacking the Cardinals threads with stupid meme posts.

[Cubman15]

How do I upload photos from my IPad?

Nice pickup! Good to see Castro back to All-Star form.

[nevrdiez34]

Kerry Wood used fielding glove from Goldin Auctions...

[Cubman15]

I was bidding on that glove early on as well, congrats! Unfortunately for me, my funds were low due to a couple of other purchases. I was really hoping for the Sosa glove as well. I am happy with a couple of pickups that I've had over the summer and willost pics soon. Congrats again!

[Cubman15]

Its been awhile since I've posted anything in this thread, but I've done some rearranging of some things in my basement and have a few new additions as well.

Picture #1 is my 2003 collection. Game used jerseys from three of the five starters (Wood and Prior signed) and Kerry Wood game used cleats. Game used bats pictured are from Patterson, Grudzielanek, Alou (x2), Ramirez, Choi, Miller, and Karros. I have a Sammy hanging separately.

Picture #2 is a Sammy Sosa game used HR jersey (HR #458) and a game used bat on top.

Picture #3 is a Starlin Castro game jersey with game bat.

Pictures #4 & #5 commemorate my children's first Cubs game. At my daughter's first game, Marmol tossed her a ball and Marshall signed it. Marshall got the win and Marmol got the save. At my son's first game, Soto and Byrd hit HRs. Earlier this year Byrd signed the jersey for my son at a game. Also have official lineup cards from each game.

Picture #6 includes a Derrek Lee drawing by my sister in law, a game used batting helmet, signed ball, and game used bat.

Picture #7 are game used bats (left to right): Lake, Almora, Baez, Castillo, Samardzija, Soriano, and Rizzo.

[Cubman15]

Continuing on....

Picture #1 has game used bats from the starting lineup (in order because I'm a dork) of the 1984 Cubs (only missing Larry Bowa). The bats on the right are from the 1989 team, with the exception of Vance Law or Luis Salazar (Sandberg bat is with the 84 team). The hats from left to right are Soriano, Rizzo (BP), and Grace. Picture on the left is of Santo and signed. Picture on the right is Grace and is signed. Also included are two seats from Wrigley and batting gloves from Grace and Dunston. Pants belonged to Marlon Byrd, just don't know where to put them. LOL

Picture #2 is a drawing of the (then) three HOFers from the '69 Cubs, each of them signed it with the year they were inducted into the HOF.

Picture #3 is a drawing of Starlin Castro, signed as well.

Picture #4 includes a seat back signed by 16 Cubs including: Moreland, Dunston, Dempster, Svuem, Pinella, Soto, Sutcliffe,Matthews, Trout, Hundley,Banks, Dernier, Harden, Beckert, Jenkins, and Lee Smith. The seat bottom is signed and inscribed by Jenkins with his career highlights. On the bottom left are two baseballs. The ball on the right side is the last home run that Kris Bryant hit in AA and its signed.

Nomar Garciaparra Game Used 2005 Road Jersey.

[nevrdiez34]

Starlin Castro 2010 Game Used Louisville Slugger MLB Authenticated to being used and cracked on August 29th, 2010.

[nevrdiez34]

Not exaclty game used, but a little Wrigley Field history...

[CubbyBear8]

Absolutely love your Sosa jersey. Wow thats a beauty!

I had my eye on that Soler jersey that was up for bid yesterday but got outbid. Had my price of max bid and didn't stray from that. Congrats to whomever won it. Hopefully was a Cubs Fan/collector

[nevrdiez34]

Javier Baez Game Used MLB Debut Baseball. MLB Authenticated to being fouled off by Baez on a 2-0 pitch from Colorado Rockies pitcher Brett Anderson in Baez's first at bat. Through MLB TV I was able to determine this same baseball was used for the first three pitches of Baez's career.

[vdsporty25]

Picked up a few bats from one of my favorite former Cubs ....Ryan Dempster! I have been looking to get one of his bats for a long time and found 5 of them at the same time! Thanks Nate for the outstanding trade!

[dpbrand]

It is Cubs Convention week! As I am preparing for it, I realized that I didn’t share this pick-up from earlier in the baseball season. I got this glove from the Cubs. It is an awesome addition to my Cubs and Rizzo collection!

Thanks to all of those that share photos of your Cubs items – it’s always great to see pieces of other collections.

Excellent pickup! I acquired a Red Sox minor league glove of his last year, which I am very happy with. I was next in line for that glove I believe. I found out about it through Authentics and said I would take it, and then they made a call and said it was purchased.

Here's the glove, which I did not post in this thread

[twarman17]

Here's the glove, which I did not post in this thread

Thumb loops on our gloves are identical, interesting. The COA I got says: "The glove was worn in ways consistent with how Rizzo prefers to use his mitts. The extra long finger and thumb loops have been left untied, and the wear indicates that his index finger was not inserted inside the finger slot but rather left outside the glove." Mine was used in 2008.

[twarman17]

Pick this up awhile ago but at an appearance last night Rizzo confirmed that a coach wrote the note inside the helmet for him. Any photo matching help would be much appreciated, I searched on getty images and was unable to find anything. It is authenticated to last game of 2013. Not sure how to post more than one picture at a time so I'll post them in a few separate messages.

Does anyone know the last year the Cubs used the manufacturer of this helmet (American Baseball Cap)? Trying to determine if this is Jody Davis' helmet (it has #7 on the back). Thanks in advance!!!

[spartakid]

Yeah looks like it's ABC

[CubbyBear8]

Was able to get my 2014 castro jersey signed last weekend at Cubs con . Anyone else add Anythjng ?

[matt7475]

I believe ABC provided helmets until 2002? It is my understanding that they were then bought out by Rawlings. Congrats on the possible Davis. I heard the story about the helmet from someone in line at the convention last weekend.

Thanks for the information, here are potential catcher #7s:

Jody Davis (1981-88), Joe Girardi (1989-92) & Tyler Houston (1996-99).

[CubbyBear8]

Really happy with this pick up!

[Dcdopson@aol.com]

I have the Soler MLB debut lineup card, but it won't upload for some reason. These seem to be gaining steam with players because I couldn't get a few others because the player requested them.

[Cubman15]

Here are a few pick ups I have made over the last few months....

First two pics are of a 1991 Sandberg game used jersey, Set 1.

Last pic is a nasty looking, uncracked, signed game used bat.

[Cubman15]

This is the jersey Arismendy Alcantara wore when he hit is first career home run last year against the Braves, completed with MLB authentication and photo matches to that game....

[Cubman15]

First two pics are of a GI Anthony Rizzo jersey. The jersey does show light wear and is Set 4, so I'm saying it was game worn. :-)

The next pic is of a game used lot of Aramis Ramirez.

The fourth pics includes from top to bottom: Glenallen Hill GU & signed bat, Zambrano GU bat, Almora GU & signed bat, Corey Patterson GU bat, Kerry Wood GU sock, Aramis GU hat, Aramis GU & signed cleats, Szczur game used cleats which I have photo matched.

The last two pics are a random game used Cubs batting helmet signed by Colvin (bought it that way), Schwarber, Addison Russell, Neil Ramirez, CJ Edwards, Pierce Johnson, Bobby Dernier, and I think Jacob Turner.

[BIGSTIG]

Cubman...

what a couple incredible pieces of Sandberg memorabilia...CONGRATS!!!!

The Bryant on the bottom is nice. I'd settle for the one on top though!

[CubbyBear8]

My newest pickup. John Lester game used home jersey authenticated to his September win versus the Dbacks. My question is has anyone seen this new tagging? Instead of it being in the back collar...? Very excited to add this to my collection!

Here is my 1968 game worn Billy Williams flannel. I have decided to sell at the SCP auction this January. I didn't want to make this seem like an advertisement, but I wanted to share it with the forum before it's gone!



http://i68.tinypic.com/2m5jyps.jpg

[TigersCubs84]

Really like all these items. Sandberg bat, Alcantara jersey, Bryant bat. The Billy Williams jersey has short short sleeves. I seem to recall all of Santo's jersey pics on baseball cards of that era had these short sleeves.
