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.

Hey Nick,
It Looks DAWESOME !!!!!!!! Congrats on the grail.

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.

Congratulations. I always liked the Cubs home jerseys and to have one of his makes it all the more appealing. Just an FYI to members in case they hadn't seen, there is another Dawson jersey from that year in the current Mears Online auction, namely one with 8 88 3 4 on the strip tag. Bigstig, maybe you can go for it and eventually collect all his jerseys from that year, thereby making your "grail runneth over!"

hrvatwill - Thanks for the compliment. Also I had seen that one in Mears, and if it goes low enough I might just pick it up...once he makes the hall will be good trade bait

from an old mastro catalog. same set number in the strip tag, yet they don't appear to be the same jersey? or they?

I hope there is no disagreement that he has to go into the Hall as an EXPO! Its a shame it has taken this long already! He dominated cf since he came in as a rookie,the Hawk was the best Expo in my opinion,better than Carter!
