New Additions - Vintage Collection (1982-1984)

This round of the "Look What I Got!" will have 29 posts, ranging from 1 card to 39. The player collections sometimes only have 1 or a couple of cards where as the White Sox or Vintage posts generally have a lot more, especially the 80's cards.

I have randomed them and let's see what we got (unless you peeked at the title.) Sorry if a few are blurry, I didn't realize it when I edited them and I wasn't going to go back, find the cards and take new photos.

Vintage Collection (1982-1984)

Jeff hooked me up with a lot of cards for my Vintage Collection, including these 11 cards from 1982-1984. I love these years because it was the height of my collecting as a kid (9 to 11 years old).

Be sure to check out my other 2 card blogs as well.

Just like it says, photos of baseball cards. The "Blog" currently sits at over 4400 cards featured and I add more weekly.

This "Blog" has photos of the cards from my PC's. I have all the cards that were featured on this blog over here and will be working on adding all of my cards.

Vintage additions (1977-1974)

*For those new to the blog, all purchases were made on Ebay (unless otherwise said) and all were under $.50/shipped.

Last post you saw the vintage from 1978-1980. Tonight, we'll finish the vintage purchases from the last couple of weeks.

This 1977 Topps brings me to 5.3% (35 of 660).

Not much to say about this card that hasn't been said before. You gotta love the Expos colors.

These 2 1976 Topps put me at 21.52% completed (142 of 660).

Not a huge fan of this set and these 2 cards of the Braves show why. I think the set would be pretty cool if they had used the team colors on the cards instead of the oddball colors that they do. I do like the logo for second base though.

These 4 1975 Topps put me at 3.03% completed (20 of 660).

My feelings about the 1975 set are pretty much the same as the 1976 set, should have used the team colors and the set would have been better.

These 4 1974 Topps put me at 11.36% (75 of 660).

I don't mind the 1974 Topps set, at least I do more than the previous 2. I do wish more vintage sets would have used team logos on the front of cards.

That's all of my vintage pick ups from the last couple of weeks. My next posts will do with the player pick-ups. I also got confirmation that my Just Commons shipment got mailed today so hopefully I'll have that by the end of the week.

Vintage additions (1980-1978)

*For those new to the blog, all purchases were made on Ebay (unless otherwise said) and all were under $.50/shipped.

Last post we saw my White Sox additions, today, we'll check out the vintage pick-ups. As usual, we'll start with the kids and work our way to the old folks.

 

 

 

These 5 1980 Topps bring that set to a completion of 12.12% (92 cards of 726)

I love getting 1980's cards because I started collecting in 1981 but there were still plenty of these around at the time so I had quite a few.

This 1979 Topps bring that set to a completion of 8.26% (60 cards of 726)

Only 1 of the 1979 Topps this time, but as you can see, I have 60 cards from this set so I must usually pick them up at a decent pace.

 

 

These 5 1978 Topps bring that set to a completion of 11.16% (81 cards of 726)

I always liked this set, I think it's the cursive team name that attracts me to it. I got a card up there that looks like my dad (I've never noticed that before) and also a Topps All-Time rookie so you know he had to of had a great career (spoken with sarcasm).

That's 1 card over half of the vintage cards I've gotten in the last couple of weeks so you'll have to check out the rest in the next post.
