That is a great Alexander.

OT- I just watched LaStella and Caratini pitch for the Cubs today. I hope that this is the low point of the season for the Cubs.

Oy, Caratini is pitching again tonight. Let's not make this a regular thing... One pitch, one out though!

Anthony Rizzo in to "close" the game! The 42nd greatest Cub of all time! (just passed Charlie Grimm)

A fun bunch of all time Cubs.

Silver Flint is #105.

Frank Demaree is #108, technically not in the top 100-ish but close. I really love the 1938 Goudey set and Demaree is the only Cub in there.

Next are players 305 and 150 sandwiched around the 2nd greatest Cub ever.

Finally it's the great Leon Durham, the 89th greatest Cub. He's as 80s as it gets, never played a minute in the 70s or 90s. But by the end of this season, Kyle Hendricks will finally push Leon into the 90s.

It has been a veeery long time since I updated this thread, and the collection and ranking have gone through lots of changes. I've got a website showcasing the all-time greatest Cubs if you're into that kind of thing.

Nice list, and nice stuff. I'm a Cubs fan too, but unlike you - I'm quite possibly doing the "worst" Cubs of all time - in that I want to get all the Bowman (1948 - 1955) Cubs. It's affordable for me in that there is only one Banks card on that list, which I already have. The rest of those Cubs were pretty awful, but they sure had some nice cards.

That's a great project. There are plenty of good Cubs during that run. Cavarretta, Pafko, Sauer, Schmitz, Rush, Frisch, Minner. All those guys matter. Then the big one in 55, but also the Gene Baker in 55 is a personal favorite. Gene was the 2nd black player to play for the Cubs.

I've messed around with a 51 Bowman Cubs set because that set is so pretty. I still need a few.

How about two guys on your list for the price of one?

I've got the black and white one but not the funky colored one.

Holy smokes look at that. That's a beauty. I will not presume to ask for a price, that looks like it's in the forever collection. Anything on the back?

I don't have a scan of the back. I'm sure it has the photographer's ID and possibly a faint Barnes signature.

Well then I will presume to ask you to scan the back haha. You've got to document that artifact!
