Surprise package

Julie from “Funner Here” apparently needed to get rid of some Chicago White Sox cards because a surprise package made it’s way in to my mailbox a couple of weeks ago.

All of these were new to the White Sox Collection.  Jerry Owens was supposed to be a 5 tool prospect but when he got here, he never lived up to the potential.  He wasn’t bad, just not as good as advertised.  You should know the rest of the players.  The Paul Konerko was a duplicate from my player collection so it went to this collection.  And a couple of 2012 which are always good for me.

A Rockin’ Robin Ventura from 1991.  Not sure what the Rookies set is but it looks to be the same as the glossy Commemorative All-Star sets that Topps used to put out in the 80’s.  I like the 2003 Opening Day Magglio Ordonez because they remind me of 1983 Topps.  I suppose they probably did that for a 20 year anniversary of that set.

She did manage to hit my Paul Konerko collection as well with this shiny card above.  I like the last few years of Bowman Platinums, I like the shinyness of them.

Thanks for the package Julie, it was definitely a surprise.  Be sure to check her out at “Funner Here”, she is closing on on her 1000th Roy Halladay card.

Vintage Collection–1987-1983

My Vintage collection consists of cards from 1987 and older.  Why 1987?  Read here.

I haven’t done a vintage post in awhile so here you go.

The last vintage post was 1987 so let me just get these out of the way before I get to other stuff.  I’m going to bang out some more of the 1980’s stuff in this post so I can get to the real vintage stuff later this week.

I got the 2 New York Yankees for $.28 combined as singles.  The Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox and the Boston Red Sox card were all received in trades or surprise packages so I didn’t pay anything for those.

 

 

 

 

         

I picked up the Tom Seaver for $.25 for my Tom Seaver collection but then received one in a trade so I got to fill both of these.  Picked up the Mike Pagliarulo for $.16.

Picked up all 4 of these in 2 2 card lots for a total of $.20.

I did get one 1985 Topps but it was also through a trade so no charge.

Picked this up in a trade as well.  Already had one in the Tom Seaver collection.

I picked up all 3 of these in trades as well.  You probably guessed that when you see that they are Sox cards.  I’ll leave off here and start with 1982 with my next Vintage Collection.  I have an interesting story in that one.  I actually got a free card from Ebay without using Ebay bucks.

I’ve added the card I got from the Diamond King to the totals below.

1960 Fleer - 1 ($.80)             1966 Topps - 1
