1984 Fun Foods Pin and a Package from Kardmix

Two packages came on Thursday totaling 107 Cubs cards. Earlier in the day I was on a mission regarding a former Cubs prospect. There are two things I'm trying to track down, so stay tuned.

A plain white envelope was the lone package (or so I thought) inside my mailbox and in it was a 1984 Fun Foods pin of Gary Matthews. Somewhere last week I saw a blog post featuring Cubs Fun Foods pins. I went to eBay and found the "Sarge" for a low, low price of $1.99 shipped. Some of the other eight Cubs in the set were much higher with the lowest priced around $8 shipped. I'll hold off until I can find them for $2 or $3. The other Cubs in the set are: Ryne Sandberg, Rick Sutcliffe, Jody Davis, Ron Cey, Leon Durham, Lee Smith, Larry Bowa, and Bob Dernier.

As I was walking to my car in the driveway the mail truck pulled up and had one more package for me. It was a large bubble mailer from Azusa, California. I couldn't find any trace of a trade from this city, but a tweet asking about it netted the answer. It's from Kardmix and we had talked trade as I'll be sending some Angels his way.

Great start with some Javy Baez. And a new Ryne Sandberg from 2018 Donruss Optic. It's very shiny.
