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.

Saturday show

Still not talking about the Sox and I can't talk about Michigan yet because they play this evening but Sluggo and I did go to a card show. It was advertised as 120+ tables and I'd say that was about right. It was a pretty good show. I didn't necessarily stick to my, only buy cheap relics/autos but I did pick up 1 or 2 as I did hit a dollar box. I can't help it, it's the same seller I bought from at 2 other card shows because they keep restocking it with lots of Michigan stuff. I did, however, limit myself to parallels and such so I wasn't picking up stuff I could get cheap on Sportlots. You'll see those when they pop up. I haven't been buying on SL's lately because I've been going to too many card shows lately and spending my budgets there. I like the instant gratification of taking home new cards but I get a lot less bang for my buck as I spend more per card.

Today is the last new PC I have added to date. I don't think I got any new ones today, I haven't logged them yet and I'm not going downstairs to check.

This was a guy who I sought out some cards of, I liked him at Michigan and I think he'll be a decent player in the pros.

I added these 6 from Sportlots. To be honest, I figured I might be able to find 1 or 2 so I was happy to grab 6 of him. It's always good to start off a collection with multiple cards. Feels like a lot less of waste when I start a new page for a new player and only have 1 card for it.


I also picked this up from Sluggo while going through his cards so it's always better to get free cards as I get to keep anything I want out of his low cost boxes as payment for helping with the cards.

The best thing about all these new cards of Nico are they are all Michigan uniforms. Who will be on TV in about half an hour, so I'm out.

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