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.

Another one down

Baseball is back! I watched our Spring Training game, not that it was terribly exciting being as we lost but it was great to watch some baseball again. The start of spring training signifies that Opening Day is right around the corner (32 days to be exact).

Today, we're not talking about the Sox though. Today, we're talking about another completed set and not a team set. I've completed my 6th set since starting to use Sportlots (and baseballcardstore.ca). I realize they are all 80's sets that aren't extremely difficult to finish but before, I wasn't even trying to complete them so I started with the sets that I was closest to finishing and they all happened to be 80's sets.

I picked up the last 52 cards I needed on Sportlots. If you remember, I picked up what I could from the baseballcardstore.ca back in October so these were all I had left to pick up.

I guess it's fitting that this set is features since the 2021 seems to be reusing the design.

As you can see, there are some great stars in this set but even though, this set isn't to hard to complete because there are no high dollar cards.

I went back on my spreadsheet and according to that, I only dropped $20.87 for all of them, half of that was probably on these 52 just because I wanted to finally complete it. I got a pretty big chunk of it in trades as well.

  1. Congratulations! Somehow I've totally missed out on those Turn Back The Clock cards, mostly because I've been ignoring 80s cards in general. I just added the 5 of them in the set to a CardBarrel shopping cart, thank to you...!

    1. I was a kid collecting this set and I thought those were the coolest things because back then, you couldn't just get online and look at old cards. Those were the only chance to see vintage HOF'ers. Little did I know that in the future, there will be a crap ton of reprints.

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