New pickup. Tom Burns, #40 on the all-time list. He and Ned Williamson (#35) owned the left side of the Chicago infield during the 1880s.

Those pics are absolutely awesome, until I saw Joe Maddon's ugly mug.

I hate that fucker.

Default Harry Caray
As for Harry Caray, I am partial to the 1988 Peoria Chiefs issue that actually has his name on it. Plus, on the reverse it mentions his Holy Cow and his love for Budweiser.

Wow, who would have ever thought that a man could put together a list of 100 greatest Cubs? I thought you'd go dry after Santo.

Seriously though, great idea and a super nice collection.

I guess that explains the inclusion of Ray Burris on this list. I’m a Cubs fan, and I did a double take when I saw that. 😬⚾️

Only 36 men started more games for the Cubs than Ray Burris. If that's not greatness...

Hey Shankweather,

How about the greatness of Don Young or Al Distaso or Rich Nye. That could be a cool collection 😎

Ah, Alec Distaso, the 1,608th greatest Cub of all time. That's going deep! Can you imagine if the internet was around for the 69 Cubs? The chat rooms would roast those boys!

I remember Ray giving up a lot of majestic home runs back in the day! 😬

I was in on the bidding for a 1/1 Topps Dynasty Epstein, but it got a little high for me. I'll probably pick up something one day.

Honestly, I started working on this years ago for that very reason. I had heard names like Bill Dahlen and Joe Tinker and Kiki Cuyler but I didn't know much about them. So I started reading about all these Cubs of yore and collecting their cards.

New pickup! Wasn't sure I'd ever find one of these. Kyle Hendricks, 99th greatest Cub of all time.

Nice variety in the mail today. Larry French/Vance Page, and Jake Arrieta; 48, 360, and 70 on the all time list. That Double Play card was the first in the set, so it's hard to find in nice condition. And that Pie Face short print has been a bear to find.

Jimmy Ryan, #23 on the list, and still the greatest center fielder the Cubs have ever had. This is one of my favorite cards, upgraded to an SGC 5 this week.

He's close, #134. And I've got a 1914 Cracker Jack Archer. If a player managed to get 3000 PA or 1000 IP, I usually try to get his card, particularly if he's in a Cubs uniform. And Archer had over 3000 PA with the Cubs (after my adjustment for catchers).
