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.

A pack and an Astro

I've had a busy weekend but I will hopefully get back on track now. I had to have my Gall Bladder removed on Thursday and while it was outpatient and I was home quite a bit, I didn't spend a whole lot of time online.

I got one envelope on Saturday and one envelope today. The Saturday envelope had three cards in it. I actually won a pack of cards that contained three cards. Then the envelope I got today had one card on it.


Here is the pack of cards I got. It's from 1994 Score Burger King set that only has nine cards in the set and I now have three of them. These three.



I paid $.58/shipped for the pack which puts these three cards at $.19, $.19 and $.20/shipped. It also makes cards 340, 341 and 342 in the Ripken collection. I'll have to see if I can find the rest of the set.


I also added another 1973 card to the Vintage collection. This card puts that set at 451 cards (68% completed). I don't get to add to many of these cards anymore so this was a nice pick up for only $.21/shipped.

    It's amazing to think that the removal of a gall bladder is now an outpatient surgery! I don't know what recovery time is on something like that, but I hope you get to feeling better soon.

      I went back to work today but I'm on restrictions in that I can't lift anything over 30 lbs. I haven't taken any pain meds since the evening of the surgery so it is truly amazing what they can do now a days.

    I have a few of these Ripkens in my collection... but never knew how they were distributed. Hope you feel better soon.

      I know I don't remember Burger King ever handing out packs. To be honest, the cards themselves don't say Burger King on them at all so without the pack, I may had never known it was BK.

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