Today, we'll just get to it since I have a lot of cards to show.
All those came from the 9 milk crate boxes of cards from Sluggo that I went through. Needless to say, they really boosted the 80's portion of my Vintage Collection.
The majority of the rest came from Sportlots for $.18, I'll note it if it didn't.
These 3 1986 Donruss and the ones in the stacks above give me 576 cards which puts me less than 100 cards to finish it which is good for 87% complete.
My 1983 Donruss set is now at 73 cards.
9 more cards for the 1981 Fleer set which is now at 485 cards or 73% completed. Too bad all those Yankee cards weren't Braves cards, I could have said I predicted the World Series back in July.
These 13 cards put the 1981 Donruss set at 146 cards.
These 9 cards put the 1980 set at 321 cards. The Richard/Ryan card came from the National, I stumbled upon it for $.50.
These 6 cards from 1979 Topps put that set at 409 cards which is at 56%. I like the Lou Brock/Lou Brock card. I remember getting those when I was younger, I loved them because they usually had a guy that I didn't see often.
These 3 cards from the 1978 set put it at 182 cards which is good for 25% complete.
These 21 cards put me at 257 cards for the 1977 set. I think the majority of these came from the same seller. He has a bunch of 1977's that I'll probably add at a later time.
These 5 from 1976 put that set at 358 cards which is 54% complete. I'm always good with a 70's set over 50%.
These 8 cards from the 1975 set put it at only 104 cards. I picked up the Reggie Jackson at the LCS.
These 6 from the 1974 set put it at 310 cards. The bottom 2 came from a dime box at the card show in Kalamazoo. Really, a dime box. I didn't even go through the box, just happened to glance down and see these. They were the only vintage in there. 2 Vintage Reggie cards as well.
These 2 cards from 1973 put it at 503 cards. It's my largest 70's set but I've also been working on it for a lot longer since it's my birth year. It's now at 76% completed and most of what I need are the high numbers.
These 10 cards give me 80 for the 1972 set. Does anyone know why the Cubs team cards in these sets are floating heads and not actual team cards?
These 6 cards give me 117 for the 1971 set. A couple of Dodgers for you Dodger bloggers out there. I like the Luis Tiant as well.
Really like getting 21 cards from the 1970 set. It's only at 94 cards.
Starting off the 60's with 9 cards for the 1969 set. It's at 59 cards.
Plus, 6 cards for the 1968 set which puts it at 47 cards.
3 cards from 1967 puts it at 42 cards.
3 cards from 1966 which now sits at 37 cards,
3 cards for the 1965 set which puts it at 29 cards.
1 more additional card for the 1964 set. It's my 29th card of the set.
1 more card for the original wood set, 1962. It's only at 14 cards.
9 cards from 1961 though, you though I was slowing down didn't you. This set now has 29 cards.
4 cards from 1960 which puts them at 48 cards. I have more of that year because I have a bunch of Sox cards in that year.
Definitely like starting off the 50's with 5 cards from 1959. I have 17 cards from that set.
These 8 cards from the 1957 set all came from the National. I found a vintage dealer which is where I spent most of my money. I just picked out Sox cards and the Orioles team card for the team card collection. It boosted the set quite a bit considering I only had 3 to start with.
The 3 Sox cards came from the National, the Cleveland card came from Sportlots. These 4 give my 6 from the 1954 Bowman set.
This 1952 Bowman came from the National and it's my 1st card from the set.
And if any of you are still with me, lastly, these 2 1951 Bowman's also came from the National and are also the first 2 cards of that set.
I know I didn't have a ton of description but there are plenty of cards to look at, hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did buying those early 50's at the National.
What a haul! Love those Dodgers cards.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of sets to be working on.
ReplyDeleteI have the Paul Blair, but the '75 Reggie wins the round.
