What is your favorite addition to your collection in 2008?

There were MANY. If I had to narrow it down to 1...I'd say full 1973 home SF Giants Dave Kingman unaltered uniform would be tops...

Mine are many as well. I guess one of them is the Thome Negro League unis from 07-08.

Mine would have to be Matt Kemp's bat from his brawl on June 3rd, 2008, and he broke this bat over his knee on June 5th. I have photomatches from June 3rd - 5th:










Photomatch from right before the brawl with Yorvit Torrealba:

I as well have had quite a few, but I will narrow it down.

First a 1966 Cubs Home Flannel worn by Bill Hands. He was my mothers favorite player when she was younger...she said he was so dreamy I had to own it, and thanks to Rob Steinmetz I do. I realize it is in a locker with a few Santo items, but I dont have any other Hands items, and by no means can I afford a Santo jersey, so for now it is a 1960's display

The other would have to be my Soriano collection. I picked all the items up within 2 weeks of each other. All from 2007 - Jersey, home & road hats, bat & cleats.

Well I am sure if you ask me again in a month it will be something else, as I have picked up more stuff this year than ever before.

Thanks to all who have helped me with building the beggining stages of my Cubs locker room.

Last but not least...someone PLEASE find me a Sutcliffe Cubs gamer

Over the years I would say there are 4 that really stand out as far as additions….
1st is one from Jay Buhner, over the years he has been a great supporter of CFF and we have had lots of opportunities to chat and get to know each other…this personalized jersey and home run bat will go to me to the grave….


Next would be Brian Holman, he is a class act and what an arm he had! The jersey he gifted me hangs proudly in my office!

Raul Ibanez, great bat, great fielder and great person….was the CFF-M’s golf tournament host for many years. Raul has signed several items for my personal collection as well as chatted with me on the field to teach me even more about the game. We wish him well and Philly, love to see him get a NL pennant!

And finally would be Mike Morse, great man with a ton of potential and I look forward to watching him play. Next M’s-CFF golf tournament host?

This may be because it was my last acquisition of 08, but right now it is my favorite pickup of the year. 08 Posada with tons of pine tar.
