Vintage, Graded, Ryno, and Roederer

Friday’s Cubs mailday was a potpourri and the widest selection of new cards for my collection. Vintage, graded, oddball, and a new Cole Roederer for my PC.

A flat rate box was sent by Dust Hobbies on Twitter, and he added a plethora of new Cubs to my collection.

On top of the box inside was a couple oversized cards. A 1964 Topps Giant Dick Ellsworth and a 1984 Donruss Bill Buckner.

The next layer was a couple graded cards. Jon Garland was the Cubs first round draft pick in 1997, and I was very disappointed when the Cubs shipped him to the south side for Matt Karchner. Not a good deal for the Cubs. This BGS 9 Garland rookie is an awesome addition!

Here’s a reason why I just can’t break through and submit cards for grading. At first glance I see this 1987 Donruss The Rookies Rafael Palmeiro is a PSA 5. Then I look closer. How is this a 5? It looks like a 9 or 10 to me! So, this solidifies that I will not submit any cards for grading.

Denny’s has great breakfast. As I type this out, I am drooling just thinking about their banana walnut pancakes. I digress. Denny’s made a pretty sweet Ryne Sandberg card in 1996. Pretty sure I have a few of these in my collection, and now have 87 more.
