I’m collecting the 1981 set, slowly but surely. This post is the latest in my quest for the completion.
- Card Facts – Houston Astros team – Card #678
- Purchase Price – free (trade with “JABO’s”)
Gotta love the old Astros colors. Are there any Astros fans out there like really liked these uniforms? I ask because one of my favorite Sox logos isn’t a very popular one. I see Bill Virdon listed as manager, I think I remember scanning his ‘73 card, also as a manager, but of the Pirates. I like these team cards, kind of like a portrait. I wish they did them more often in the modern sets. Even as an insert would be cool by me.
- Card Facts – Bill Caudill – Chicago Cubs – Card #574
- Purchase Price – free (trade with “JABO’s”)
I kind of remember this card. I don’t know where this was taken but it doesn’t look like a major league stadium. I could be wrong, I’m just guessing. I’d also guess that it’s a bullpen of some kind since there are people directly behind him, as well as further behind him so I assume the field continues out there. I definitely remember the Cub logo on Bill’s sleave though.
- Cards posted in this set – 26
- Total price paid – $1.74
- Average price per card – $0.07
- Cards left to post – 700
- Percentage posted – 26/726 (4% posted)
- Percentage completed – 426/726 (59% completed)
Hope you all are ok with the way these posts look now. A lot easier on my time schedule this way. This is the first time I’ve added the set completion number on these posts. Wow! Already at 59%. Huge thanks to my fellow bloggers for that number. Price paid for this set should stay really low with the 300 plus cards I’ve gotten from them.

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