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.

Trading at Work

Fred, at work, brought me some more cards. Anytime he goes to a show, he always picks me up whatever he thinks I need. If I don't need them, I give them back and he puts them in his collection. He's actually given me more cards since I scanned these, including some today but I haven't done anything with them yet so this is all you get.


We'll start off with the White Sox cards. Nothing too flashy up there, a couple more of Colson Montgomery who had a great year last year. Looking forward to see if he follows it up this year. I'm closing in on 50 cards of him but still have a few cards to go.


Here are a couple of the flashy ones. A rookie Kopech, who has done way better since leaving and a sparkle of Eloy who has dropped off the map since leaving.


A Lazer Phoenix of Nico and an older Finest of the elder Howard. Nico's collection is moving right along with 104 cards which is good for 3rd place among my football players behind Funchess and Denard which I don't pick up a whole lot anymore so I imagine it won't be to long before he takes the top spot.


Last but not least, another Hutch card I needed. He keeps playing like he is and they'll keep making more cards of the defensive player. This is my 88th card of him.

I've actually received quite a few cards in the last couple of weeks but I've been lazy at getting them logged and I don't post until I log them. Hopefully this weekend, I'll get caught up. I brought home 28 3 row boxes of baseball to sort last Friday so that's what I worked on all weekend.
