2009 Vine Line Chicago Cubs #31 Retirement Baseball Forum

If it is of good quality, it might be a stadium or Chicago Cubs giveaway.  The copyright line at the bottom (can't make it out) might be the clue to its authenticity.  Nice card if it is real adn of good quality.

The copyright line just says "©2009 All rights reserved. Reproduction in whole or in part without permission is prohibited."

No number, no brand, no TCDB listing in 2009 or 2010 for Greg Maddux (no matching picture or "Jenkins" note)... that's a tough one to track down.

Looks to be a commerative card issued when the Cubs retired No. 31 in 2009.

Edit: Jenkins wore it during is time there, as did Maddux before he moved on.

Is Vine Line the "Brand" the Cubs issue their SGAs?  The link jimetal provided has Vine Line "on the card" but the border looks way bigger than yours so it could just be a mock up image. Searching the net for Vine Line yeilds results like this:

and this

and if you look at the copywrite on this set we have here it says "Chicago National League Baseball Club INC" which I believe is the official name of the team for business purposes.

Vineline was the official magazine of the Cubs for many years. I used to see adds for it all the time in the late 80s when watching the Cubs on WGN. It looks like they printed cards too.

If that is the case then this should be a 1 card promo set.  I will create it and post a link
