September memorabilia pickups

I realize this isn't Earth shattering for most, but the Cubbies version of these banks never seem to turn up. I consider it super rare. Cubs collectors are are pretty aggressive and the good stuff doesn't last long. This one is in exceptional condition. It was 4: 00 am when I found it so I took a sec to "make an offer" . The sellers settings were such that I was in the range and it was accepted immediately YEAH! Do any fellow Cubs collectors on the board agree with my scarcity assessment?

I've never seen the Cubs version. Off the top of your head, Mike, how many teams were represented?

Not many. Those that I recall are mostly Nats, Phils, Tigers, White Sox, Twins, Yanks. I would love to hear from others on this topic.


I have had a search in my settings for the Cubs forever and don't recall another opportunity to purchase one but I'm sure they are out there considering the number of banks in the Chicagoland area that may have used them.

First Cubs example I've seen as well. I would add the Reds to the list of "commonly found" examples. I have been underbidder a few times on the Seattle Pilots, and also would love to find an Expos Bank like this (never seen one of those either).

Nice pickup, Mikey!!

Just snagged a lot of (somewhat) vintage lineup cards in the latest Hunt auction. The Weaver and Schoendienst will fit nicely in my HOFer lineup card collection and Martin is a nice one as well. Will likely consider moving the others (14 in total albeit most are carbon copies)

This is really beautiful. I hope that you keep it with a lot of other old White Sox stuff.
