A fun collection centered around Wrigley Field and Chicago Cubs history, with Hall of Famers including Ferguson Jenkins, Ron Santo and Billy Williams, plus Andre Dawson.
Condition: Items are pre-owned and vary in condition. The 1988 Sporting News shows significant age-related wear, edge/corner wear, toning and creasing consistent with an original newspaper of this age. The Beckett also shows some handling/storage wear. The Upper Deck prints and Sports Illustrated present considerably better. Please examine all photos closely—they are part of the condition description.
Everything pictured is included. Items will be packaged carefully for shipment.
