Lotsa Lotsa Sox

 Yikes! I pulled up the random and I got the team collection White Sox. I guess the bad thing about doing these posts by random is I've gotten so many Sox cards since I posted it last time that this will be a very heavy photo post.

We'll start off with all the Sportlots pick-ups. These were all a quarter or less.

A bunch of Bowman.

And a bunch of the Gold Star parallels. Quite a bit of the team set.

Some 80's Sox, the top 3 are all part of the Vintage collection as well.

You know I love that top row. The 1968 game piece is a pretty awesome pickup for the price.

These are all also part of the Vintage collection.

Lastly, a bunch of 70's oddballs. I'd say I did pretty good with the extra pick-ups from Sportlots.

Next up are the cards I got from Sluggo's Sports Cards.

How about some more Bowman.

Some assorted A&G.

Some Donruss, new and a little older.

Some Panini Prizms. I grabbed the Crochet just because the Sox are the only team he's played for so far and he's pitching for us now.

Some various Topps.

Upper Deck.

Various cards.

Lots of 80's Sox that also go to the Vintage collection.

A couple of dollar cards he let me have. I like the look of manufactured patches but I hate what they are. A nice autograph rookie from a guy who spent most of his year with the Sox before being sent back to the minors.

Next up is some dime box material I picked up at our last LCS trip.

I was really happy with the parallel stuff up in that first photo.

Next up are a few cards that Fred brought me at work.

Fred always brings me cards that I think, I totally have those, then I don't.

Speaking of dime boxes, the next section were all dime box pickups at the card show I went to last weekend.

All but the Dallas Keutchel in the pic above were dime box. The Keutchel was $1. Almost everything up there is a parallel of some sort which was great for a buck.

Next, a couple of Sox cards I picked up at the Baseball Card Exchange awhile back.

I picked up the Smith auto for $3 and that awesome looking card of Fulmer was only $5.

Next up, Dennis from Too Many Verlanders sent some Sox cards.

You know Dennis is gonna send good cards, parallels, relics and an autograph. I'm keeping the Beckham relic even though it's a Georgia card because he spent the majority of his career with the Sox. I know he's commentating but I don't know where. He has done some Sox games recently which is why I know that he's commentating. I don't know if he's in the Sox organization though, I feel like he works somewhere else but came in to help us out.

Last but not least is all my Sox stuff from the National. I actually did a pretty good job of not spending much money the first day, then I ran into the bottom 3 photos.

I picked up the last 3 pics on the 2nd day. I spent close to $50 on all of that, which I still feel is a great price. I was excited when I ran into that table. I paid $3 for the majority of it and the 1951 & 1952 Bowman's I paid $4.

Like I said, a lot of photos. Congrats if you made it to the end to see the awesome vintage.

Newer and Older

My White Sox are on a roll so why not show off some Sox cards. That and that's what the random told me to show today. We've won 3 in a row, are over .500 after being right at .500 7 times already this year. The bats are finally coming alive. Kopech got the start today and as of the 3rd inning, we are up 8-1 already. We're currently in 2nd place in the division but we are only 1.5 back going into today. 1 game in the win column and 2 in the loss, we've played 1 more game than KC.

I picked up these awhile ago when I was trying to get 2017 team sets completed. Which these 5 did. That card in the middle is my 49th of Rodon, who just threw the Sox's 20th no-hitter.

Picked these up while looking at the base Bunt. I'm actually only a couple cards short on this team set as well. This is my 13th cards of James Shields.

These 5 also complete the 2017 Chrome set. I need to get back to buying Sox cards but I'm having so much fun going through my player collections. This is my 34th card of Fulmer, 22nd of Q, 33rd of Frazier and Reynaldo, and lastly, my 146th card of the current MVP.

Once I get close to my budget when shopping on Sportlots, I look to see which sellers I haven't bought at least 4 cards from and look through their inventory just to see if there's anything I need. That's what the following cards are.

I picked this up from 2015 Panini. It's my 10th card of our former manager.

I picked up these 1981 Topps Stickers from a seller. I only have 3 for the team set but I do enjoy getting these early 80's stickers. This is my 11th card of Lamar Johnson and my 10th of Wayne Nordhagen.

I picked up these 4 from the 1976 SSPC set. I know 2 aren't in Sox uniforms but they were listed as Sox cards on Sportlots and if you've used it, there isn't many pictures. It does have the Sox listed as their teams on the back so they would still get counted as Sox collection. In order of appearance up there, this is my 7th card of Ralph Garr, 3rd card Nyls Nyman, 10th card of Pat Kelly and my 11th of Jim Spencer.

Lastly, I picked up this Billy Pierce from 1979 TCMA. I was happy to grab this card as I don't have a bunch of him. This is only my 7th card of his and the majority of those are post career, as this one is.

If you want an update since it took me awhile to do this post, KC won again today and the Sox are up 4 in the 7th.
