Topps Archives has Fan Favorites autographs each year in its release. I’m a fan of these because it’s not the same old retired players that appear year after year.

Sedgwick was trending on Twitter in Chicago today. It wasn’t about the Sedgwick that sent my Mailday. He is in Arizona. Brian (Sedgwick) sent a package of Cubs baseball cards that arrived over the weekend. It included more than 60 cards. One pile was all Kris Bryant cards. Altogether a stack of 19 Bryant’s. AContinue reading “Trending: Sedgwick”

Before I headed down to Rosemont on Saturday morning for the Larry Pogofsky All Star Challenge Softball Game, I wanted to get a current count of Cubs baseball cards for my Cubs Card-O-Meter. Well, I did get an updated count from the three packages that were delivered on Friday: 342,150. However, I didn’t have enoughContinue reading “Nearly 2,000 Cubs Cards Delivered on Friday the 13th”

The crossroads of Interstate 90 and Interstate 294 in Rosemont, Illinois is beginning to become a very familiar place. For those that attend the National Sports Collectors Convention, you too are familiar. It’s also right next to O’Hare International Airport, and as my wife knows this exit for the many outlet malls nestled between theContinue reading “Meeting the Cubs and White Sox at the Larry A. Pogofky All Star Challenge”

This was a post I wanted to make last week, but the Mailday included a bunch of new cards for my collection. The idea is to highlight a Cubs Baseball Card from each letter of the alphabet.
