I've randomed and todays selections are going to the Vintage Collection

1979 Topps

That is an awesome array of players to be included to the vintage collection. I realize they are not high dollar cards but look at some of those names.

1977 Topps ($.54)

1977 Topps ($.50)

1978 Topps ($.40)

1978 Topps ($.52)

1978 Topps ($.25)

The above cards put the 1977 Topps set at 63 cards (9.55%), the 1978 Topps set at 92 cards (12.67%) and the 1979 Topps set at 67 cards (9.23%). A long way to go in all 3 sets but it's not like I expected to finish this in the next 10 years or so. That was part of the reason I started this collection, along with I love the cards, it's something I can work on the rest of my life.

1986 Fleer ($.19)

These 12 cards from 1986 aren't terribly exciting I know, but I needed them all and as you can see, I didn't pay much to begin with.

I finished scanning on my February pick-ups yesterday, I still have to crop them all to single card pictures which I'm going to do today. You'll still see some January pick-ups into March because I haven't finished those yet. I'm hoping to have enough time to do a January and a February pick-up post each day until the January is done. I have a lot of cards for the February Pick-Ups because it was tax time so I went to a couple of places and picked up a lot of cards, cheaply. Plus I finally found a somewhat local card shop and I bought a few cards there as well. I'll talk about that later.

2013 Topps Magic

2013 Topps Chrome

2015 Panini Michigan Wolverines Collegiate

Dennis sent over these 3 Robinsons which moves that collection right on up there to 20 cards. It has grown the most since I started collecting some of the previous Wolverines from the last couple of years.

1980 Kelloggs 3D Super Stars

I was surprised to win this at $.50. I know these aren't that spectacular but I really like them. I remember being able to pick cards up everywhere, including in cereal.

1982 Fleer

i grabbed this one for only $.33. I love the 1982 Topps and Fleer cards, so many memories.

1987 Fleer Baseballs Best Sluggers

1994 Topps Black Gold

Got these 2 of Cal from Dennis who is also a Ripken collector. I always enjoy the 80's fleer best sets, I used to pick up every one I could because they had so many superstars. Also the rare black gold from 1994. I really don't know how rare they are but I know when I bought stuff in 1994, I didn't get very many of them

1994 Topps Gold

Another 1994 Topps gold, just without the black. Picked this up for $.46.

1991 Field of Vision Silver Star Holograms

I don't really know what this is but that was the label on the Ebay listing. I picked up this semi-oddball card for $.34.

2012 Topps Archives

Vintage look is always good, especially when you only pay $.34.

2012 Topps Archives Reprints

We finish it off with another card that looks older than it is. This one was also $.34.

Technically the last 3 cards were in a lot which is why they all listed at $.34. It was actually a 5 card lot, it came with 2 duplicates of the 2012 Topps Archives up there. So since we are being technical, I only paid a little over $.20 a piece.

1964 Topps

1965 Topps

1966 Topps

1969 Topps

I love getting these vintage cards from my cousin, I'm actually surprised that I get them because he does card shows so I would think he could sell these. The White Sox I get are no surprise, nobody wants those in North Carolina, but these?

1969 Topps

I actually have no record of purchasing this so it was either a throw in (which I find hard to believe) or somehow it got sent to the wrong person. There isn't any cards that I didn't receive so I can't even say that they just sent me the wrong card. Knowing my record keeping, it was probably sent to me by Sluggo.

1969 Topps

 I picked up this 1969 Topps for $.54
