Colorful Friday

The World Baseball Classic has got me so ready to watch the Sox. I just got to figure how I'm going to do that since I cancelled my cable. I'd pay for a MLB package if they would get with the times and not black everything out. I'm not sure why the MLB is so stubborn to change their policies.

Enough about baseball, at least for a week or so. Today's post is former Wolverine football post. It'll be a quicky as I have some things to do before going to bed as early as I do for work. I have to get up early to get up to Lansing for the card show tomorrow.

The top scan is from my latest Sportlots package and the bottom card is from my LCS. Lots and lots of color. 

These 9 cards give me 24 cards of Chris.

I picked up this at my LCS as well, well technically, I pulled it out of his box of cards in my card room but I still got it from the LCS.

This card of Hurst gives me 21 of Moe.

These also came from that LCS box. The one on the left is #'d to /99 and the one on the right is to /199. These 2 are also rookies. I just realized, every card on this post is a rookie card.

These 2 cards give me 26 cards of Taco.

There is a lot of shinyness on this post

Happy Birthday - Chris Wormley

Chris was born on this day in 1993, making him 28 today.

NFL Debut - October 8th, 2017

Years Active - 

• 2017-2019 (Ravens)
• 2020-current (Steelers)

2017 Rookie (Ravens)

Technically, I have a bunch of rookies since all the cards I have of him are from 2017. Which is also why I don't have any of him with the Steelers yet.

Cards on TCDB - 206 cards

Cards I have - 20 cards

Pretty cool design on these Unparalleled.

Where they came from -

• Ebay (7 cards)
• Sportlots (7 cards)
• Unknown (3 cards)
• Too Many Verlanders (2 cards)
• Sluggo (1 card)

I have 4 Michigan non-hits although 3 are all different variations of the same card. Always like the score cards because of the full uniforms and team logos.

I have 4 autographs in Michigan uniforms. I actually have 3 of the one on the left.

I have 5 autographs with the Ravens as I have 4 copies of the first card. I kept picking them up really cheap if I remember correctly.

Happy Birthday Chris!

*All cards pictured are in my collection but the scans/photos are from TCDB.

Early bird gets the Wormley

I was supposed to go to a card show tomorrow morning. Sluggo and I usually go first thing in the morning, before the crowd but of course, I got scheduled to work so we're going to shoot over after I get off for a couple of hours and if it's worth it, we may go back on Sunday. I also had an offer to go to the Michigan/Rutgers game with Dennis and I would have gone to that over the card show but again, I have to work. I could probably get out of work if I tried really hard but I have a Sox game next weekend to pay for, as well as a Notre Dame/North Carolina and a Michigan/IU game tickets to pay for so I could also use the money.

As for today's post, I went to the list and I haven't posted any cards for this Michigan man since October 4th, 2019 so it's probably about time.

I picked up these 5 from Sportlots. The 2 on the right are the base cards (Phoenix and Unparalleled) while the other 3 are all color parallels. These 5 give me 15 cards of Chris.

I realize now there is a flaw in my system because according to TCDB, I added a Wormley card in May of 2020 so either I didn't post anything about it or I didn't tag the post. Oops. Might have to revamp my lists again.

More Michigan PC's

I put my January purchases on random and came up with this post.

Apparently random.org wants me to get my Michigan PC, a card players out of the way early this month as this is another one.

This is my 8th different card of Chris Wormley. Technically, I have 10 but I have a couple of dupe autos. Nothing to fancy about this card.

This is only my 3rd card of Chase Winovich. All 3 of them are from this set so none of them are all that nice. This is the gold version of the base, which I have.

Since neither of the previous cards weren't very special, I'll throw this one is as well because it is super slick. Michigan colors, the block M, you can't go wrong. I was searching out Michigan cards when I ran across it and had to get it. I don't have a player collection of LaMarre but this will go to the Michigan collection.

Sportlots - Tier 2 Michigan Men, part 2

I know it's been pretty boring titles of late, I promise I'll do better with the next shipment. I actually have a couple of cards coming directly to me because I needed them for a set, they were the cheapest on the site and he charged the same to ship to me as he did to Sportlots so I just shipped them here. According to the seller, they should be here Friday but I can't show them until after my next Sportlots shipment because they go with other cards in it.

I finished going through by Konerko cards after work today. I ended up with a stack of about 25 cards to sort. Most of them were dupes so they went to my Sox dupe box for Jeff (if I ever get around to sending them). The rest of them I added onto TCDB and with all of the shuffling of cards, I ended up with 1 less Konerko than I started. Although technically, I had 2 cards that I couldn't find on the TCDB at all.

I believe my next album is Tom Seaver, so that one will take awhile as well as he is my 3rd highest PC.

On to today's cards. As mentioned, these are more collections of Michigan players that I watched play in recent years.

This is the nice thing about using Sportlots now is that I can pick up players that you don't run into often on Ebay. These 3 cards (base, optic and holo) double my Jake Rudock collection up to 6 cards.

I got to add another Chris Wormley. This card gives me 9 but technically 7 different ones as I have dupes of an autograph in there as well. Out of the 9 cards, 5 of them are autographs so it's more rare to get a non hit card of his.

This is another guy that I rarely see. He signed with Miami but only played in 5 games and only caught a few short passes. He's currently in the XFL. This is my 7th card of him and 6 of those are in the Maize and Blue which are always better.

I went for awhile before I was able to start picking up Pepper's cards cheap. He was a stud in college but his popularity has died down (doesn't help playing for Cleveland). These 3 make 7 cards of him now.

I got one more post of Michigan men before I head into my Tier 1 pick-ups from Sportlots.
