Best Cubs gift for my boss under $100

Help me find the best, coolest gift for my Cubs-fan boss. Points for something he can display in his office.

It cannot be over $100 and I'd prefer no shipping hassles (large artwork or posters probably won't work). Thanks!

Some awesome things on Etsy.com. Try searching on "Chicago Cubs" or "Wrigley Field."

I love this Wrigley chalkboard, but there are also plenty of prints, etc.

Find out his favorite player, then buy that guy's rookie card. Frame it. As long as it's not Ernie Banks it should cost you less than $100. God, I hope my Cardinal's fan girlfriend doesn't see me helping you.

Go to NewspaperArchive.com and have the front page story reprinted and framed from 1908, when the Cubs won the World Series.

There looks like there is a membership fee for NewspaperArchive.com. If you're interested maybe you could find it someplace else, or maybe they have a free trial membership.

A throwback cap from the Cooperstown Ballcap Co.? The 1914 Orphan cap is awesome looking.
