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.

    Do you have a wantlist for this set yet? If not, I'll send you all of my doubles along with some White Sox that I have for you.

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