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.

Cheaper Than Stamps #54

zzz-cheaperthanstamps

From one Hall of Famer (this summer) to another Hall of Fame, here’s my Cal Ripken jr pick-ups

1991 Upper Deck, 1990 Fleer Players of the Decade and 1997 Upper Deck (defensive gems)

None of these pick-ups really surprise me, nothing too fancy.  I grabbed the 91 Upper Deck for $.21, the Fleer for $.18 and the 97 UD for $.28.  All were needed for the Cal Ripken jr collection so I certainly won’t complain.

 

Here’s the rundown on how much I’ve paid and to which collection so far in the Cheaper Than Stamps series.

  1. I don't care how cheap they are, I just love shots of Cal fielding like that '97 UD, which featured some fantastic subsets like the Defensive Gems.

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