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.

1981 Topps–Christenson, Salazar, Keough, Parrott

I’m collecting the 1981 set, slowly but surely. This post is the latest in my quest for the completion.
81topps-larrychristenson346
  • Card Facts – Larry Christenson – Philadelphia Phillies – Card #346
  • Purchase Price – $.05 (Ebay lot 100/$4.99)

For the record, I prefer these Phillies uniforms.  Not that I don’t like their current ones, just prefer these.  Maybe it just feels more old school.

81topps-luissalazar309

    • Card Facts – Luis Salazar – San Diego Padres – Card #309
    • Purchase Price – free (Trade with “Manupatches & Mustaches”)

Speaking of old school uniforms.  No, I don’t really like these.  Can’t think of any Padres uniforms I like but there may be some out there.  Actually, I take that back, I like the camouflage ones.  So sue me.

81topps-mattkeough301

  • Card Facts – Matt Keough – Oakland A’s – Card #301
  • Purchase Price – free (Trade with “JABO’s”)

A rare action shot for the ‘81’s.  Nothing says 70’s like the A’s uniforms.

81topps-mikeparrott187

  • Card Facts – Mike Parrott – Seattle Mariners – Card #187
  • Purchase Price – free (Trade with “JABO’s”)

Powder blues, oh yeah.  Love the old school Mariners logo on his shoulder.  Just watched the movie 50/50 and the main character had a Mariners hat with that logo and I even told my wife that I liked that logo.

  • Cards posted in this set – 50
  • Total price paid – $1.94
  • Average price per card – $0.04
  • Cards left to post – 676
  • Percentage posted – 50/726 (7% posted)
  • Percentage completed – 483/726 (67% completed)

Percentage posted up a percent.  Went to 4 cards per post so I’m not on these all year long.

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