Welcome

This blog is about sports cards. I tend to only purchase cheap items so don't come hear expecting to see big money cards. My teams collections are Chicago White Sox and Michigan Wolverines. I also have a bunch of player collections.

Repacks

With the coaxing of Jeff from “2 by 3 heroes” I picked up a couple of those repack packages from Target.  He sent me a bunch of cards for my Vintage collection that he said he picked up in some repack packages.  I don’t know if I bought the same ones he did because I didn’t get as old of cards as he did but I did still get cards for my collections.  The ones I got were 100 cards for $3.99.  Let’s check out what I got for the Vintage collection first.

Only my 2nd 1981 Fleer.  If I had to guess, the first one came from Jeff.

My first 1982 Fleer.  I so love seeing these sets from my childhood again.

I got 3 cards from the 1983 Topps set.  I actually have 26 from this set but I’m still a long way from this set.

Here’s where I hit the jackpot, I got 13 cards from the 1984 Topps.  That gives me an even 50 for that set.

target06

2 cards from the 1985 set giving me 36 for the set.  Now that I’m typing out these, my vintage collection sounds kind of pathetic when I throw out the amounts.

I managed to 3 different Pittsburgh Pirates cards from the 1987 Topps set.  But at least with this set, it gives me a total 276 cards.  You can always count on the wood bordered to make you feel better about your counts.

And last but not least (for the vintage collection) I grabbed 4 1987 Donruss.  Which gives me 5 for that set.  I’m guessing the other one also probably came in from Jeff.

I expected to fill in some gaps in my Vintage collection, but what I didn’t expect was to pull some for my other collections.  Like these.

I also actually pulled 2 cards for my White Sox collection.  With this 1984 Topps Vance Law and a 1991 Upper Deck Melido Perez.  I really figured I’d get shut out on White Sox cards just because the odds weren’t in my favor.  Although the nice thing about being a Sox fan is the majority of their cards or cheap, so maybe there is a better chance of hitting these.

But wait, there’s more.

That’s right, I actually pulled 2 cards for my Barry Larkin collection.  A 1994 Upper Deck Collector’s Choice and a 2003 Upper Deck.  This was one of my smallest collections to date with only 5 cards now so I was definitely happy to pull a couple of Larkin’s.

Wasn’t as great as I had hoped money wise, I had bought 2 of those packages so all that for $8 sucked but technically, it equals out to just under $.23 a card so it does fall in my cheap ebay purchase parameters so I guess I can justify more purchases.  Problem is, I rarely go to Target when I have a Walmart in walking distance, as in, next door.

  2. That Bonds is a hell of a card to get as your first '82 Fleer. Nice work and I've got to get that one.

Sorry about the word verification, but blogger sucks at filtering out the comments as of late. As bad as their last update is.
