Show Me You Chicago Cubs Stuff...

Re: Show Me You Chicago Cubs Stuff...

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!

Re: Show Me You Chicago Cubs Stuff...

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.

Re: Show Me You Chicago Cubs Stuff...

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....

Re: Show Me You Chicago Cubs Stuff...

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....

Re: Show Me You Chicago Cubs Stuff...

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?

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.

Re: Show Me You Chicago Cubs Stuff...

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)

Re: Show Me You Chicago Cubs Stuff...

I picked up this Geovany Soto 2008 (His ROY year) GU chest protector and shin guards with a LOA from the Cubs about six months ago. Each piece exhibits prolonged and extensive use. Now I've got to find the time to photo match!

Re: Show Me You Chicago Cubs Stuff...

Thanks to fellow forum member (you know who you are), I have added a grail. A 1993 Sandberg glove with the Rawlings gold label.

I am in LOVE!!!

Re: Show Me You Chicago Cubs Stuff...

Had to tap some connections for this one, but it's something I've been targeting since his call. Anthony Rizzo game used bat...
