All the Cubs

Nice variety in the mail today. Larry French/Vance Page, and Jake Arrieta; 48, 360, and 70 on the all time list. That Double Play card was the first in the set, so it's hard to find in nice condition. And that Pie Face short print has been a bear to find.

Jimmy Ryan, #23 on the list, and still the greatest center fielder the Cubs have ever had. This is one of my favorite cards, upgraded to an SGC 5 this week.

Welcome to the top 100-ish Jon Lester, the 102nd greatest Cub ever.

No Jimmy Archer? Cub backstop 1909 - '17

He's close, #134. And I've got a 1914 Cracker Jack Archer. If a player managed to get 3000 PA or 1000 IP, I usually try to get his card, particularly if he's in a Cubs uniform. And Archer had over 3000 PA with the Cubs (after my adjustment for catchers).

--- Your outstanding Leaf Phil Cavaretta !! That is a beauty. I have not seen one that nice before. The '33 Goudey Guy Bush is my personal favorite Baseball card. I'm concerned that the appears to be no love for Wausau Wi. hometown hero Johnny Schmitz and his Cubs years. An outstanding gentleman and life long Cub as he would tell anyone who knocked on his door !! Overall what a great focused collection.

This is awesome, thanks for posting! If it were my collection, I'd probably drop a T206 of someone and add a T204 just to get one of those in there. I'd also probably swap the T201 Hoffman for a E95.

Thanks, I am pretty proud of my Cavarretta, one of my favorite players. And the Goudey Guy Bush is such a cool card. That bright red background, and the beautiful detail on his weirdo face. Goudey at its best, though the Riggs Stephenson is my favorite Goudey Cubs card. Johnny Schmitz is in there at #78. I've got his Bowman rookie and hope to get the Leaf one day.

Yes, I'm on the lookout for a Ramly, particularly a Wildfire Schulte. And I went with the T201 for Hofman as a sneaky way to have two Three-Finger Brown cards.
