Got an open, unsealed envelope back from Cubs ST, and the card(s) fell out. The only Cubs that I've sent to so far have been:

Jose Albertos
Will Venable
Drew Smyly

If anyone has any extra autos of any of these guys for trade, can you please message me?

EDIT: Was looking through Instagram earlier, and was able to narrow it down to Jose Albertos, so if anyone has any extras from him for trade, let me know.

Many guys will either sign everything or nothing they get within a certain time frame. I like cards better because they are more standardized, look better, and are easier to store which is why they are way more popular. The item really doesn't matter. If anything the envelope/package matters as guys are more likely to open things that are big or colorful or otherwise draw their attention.

Robinson Chironos

I'm at 7/55, and after these are out, I'll be at 7/69. Looking to send out 80-100 game-used requests
to position players as well as boxes for gear to guys I've talked to. Will keep all of you posted.

Not sure if you're willing to give up your secrets but how do you usually get into contact with players about getting game used stuff? I have a couple of PC guys who aren't well collected who I think I would have a decent chance of getting a pair of batting gloves or something like that from but I have no idea how to contact them.

TY for the feedback i will for now keep going with the 4by6 pics , cant buy or get Bowman cards where i am at in Canada but there may be some at a card shop in Halifax that i will check for sure
