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.

Jimmy claimed some cards on one of my pack posts and I sent a PWE of the cards that he asked for and he was generous enough to send me some cards off my needs lists. He knocked the 2009 team set down to 3 cards and the 2014 Topps team set down to 1 card.

Ray also claimed some cards from my pack posts and sent me some cards in return. I don't ask for cards in return but some people are just generous anyways and I appreciate it.


2014 Topps Stadium Club Autographs ($1.52)
2007 Bowman Sterling Autographs ($1.25)
These 2 autos were too cheap to pass up. Adam Eaton is our leadoff hitter and it's a Stadium Club so it's a great shot and John Danks is currently the longest tenured White Sox player on the roster.



2013 Topps Update ($.21) 
2014 Panini Prizm Refractor ($.25)

Picked up these 2 on Ebay as well. I picked up the Davidson not really knowing who he was but I have watched a number of spring training games and he's doing very well. He'll probably start in the minors because there are 2 spots left and 5 players fighting for it, including a couple of quite a bit of MLB experience already.

I managed to get 4 White Sox cards in my packs. Although I bought the packs knowing that I already had a series 1 team set coming so basically, I bought the packs just to open packs. We've all been there.

Completed Team Sets–2012 Topps Heritage

teamset2012toppsheritage01

I completed the pseudo-63’s as well.  I don’t know if I have all of the rookie stars cards or not but technically they aren’t part of the actual team set anyways.

teamset2012toppsheritage02

You see a 2nd Addison Reed floating head on another Rookie Stars card which is why I said I don’t know if I have them all.  On top of that he got a solo card as well.  Topps must have really liked him.  I do like having a team card with the set.  I like that Topps are bringing them back.  It doesn’t have to be a team shot but any kind of card to represent the whole team is cool with me.
