Instead of sharing cards of Ryne Sandberg, I thought I would share unique items. The first is a postage stamp from Grenada as part of a set. Next is his original Starting Lineup figurine. Third is his "autograph" on a Cubs team baseball from a cereal redemption. Lastly, his 1991 card from the Marathon Cubs team set that I received from the first Cubs games I saw in person and my first trip to Wrigley Field. You will definitely be missed.

I only was able to see Ichiro play twice, and both were outliers in the big picture. The first was in 2001 when they lost to the Twins, one of their 56 losses that year. The other was in 2003 in Kansas City (pictures below) when Ichiro went 0-4, one of only 70 times in his career. I did post 2 of my top cards of his, but unfortunately, his 2001 rookie fell victim to being part of the brick that is the Topps complete set. Congrats to Ichiro and all of the 2025 Hall of Fame class.

I sent this card off to Topps today for replacement. As you can see, the bottom was damaged when I pulled it from a pack of Topps Heritage. Maybe I will get the same card, or maybe someone new. 🤷‍♂

Since I posted Cap'n Crunch cards the other day, I decided to post this one from Super Sugar Crisp. Apparently my mom didn't buy this very much as this is the only card I have. 🙂

I found these photos on my photo, and felt it was worth sharing. The only downside is no team logos on the caps.
