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.

Doing Deals at Work

I mentioned in the last post that I had a guy at work that I trade with as well. He goes to a lot more shows that I do and he likes to dig through boxes so he always buy's cheaper cards for me. He'll give them to me and I'll go through them and give back whatever I have. I also give him all my top loaders and penny sleeves that I'm not using. Because I give him what I already have, he has quite the Michigan and Sox collection which is hilarious because he's a Notre Dame and Cubs fan.

Let's see what Fred brought me this past week.

Some shiny and some guys I have a lot of. The Tatis is numbered to /99 and the Vaughn is to /100. There are 3 guys up there that I used to PC but don't anymore. I have over 300 of Eloy and Robert each.

He always gets me shiny stuff which I don't usually come across a lot of with what I do in cards so these are always appreciated.

Since we started with teams, I'll throw this one up here as well before I get to my PC's.

Right now I still have Hinton in the Michigan collection, even though he is in the league, he doesn't have much in cards. The only major release he's included in is Prizm and they are all Autographs. Keene was with the team up until the portal opened up and has gone to ASU., his 4th college team. Don't get me started on that.

I started collecting the Fab 5 last year, not sure why it took me so long considering they are the reason I became a Michigan fan way back in high school (please don't estimate my age, it's getting up there.) These 2 cards of Juwan give me 152 cards of him.

2 posts in a row with a Larkin, maybe good signs to come on his PC this year. 781 cards of the Hall of Famer.

Another Nico as well. He always gets me a bunch of Nico cards which is why he's at 103 now.

I just started PCing Woodson last year as well so there are still plenty of older cards of him that I need to add. This one gives me 102 of another Hall of Famer.

These were scanned separately because I got them at different times. I just got the one on the left this past week. These 2 cards of Hutch give me 85 cards of him.

He did give me 1 (former) Sox PC with this Blue Sheets which is my 84th of Gavin.


He also picked up this trio of Cronenworth cards. That is the 2nd auto of Jake he has picked up for me. Non licensed and stickers so they were only a couple of bucks but I'll take them. The Rookie Class set confuses me on which one I have, I believe that is the base and I already had the Emerald one. These 3 give me 114 cards of the former Wolverine.

I'm out until another day.
