Lots of Cal

It was a slow day at work and I've been tired most of the evening, trying to catch up on some TV. Today's post is another icon. 

I picked up a bunch of Cal that I figured I already had with that top row. Then we get into the other stuff, the next 5 are all smaller sets and the bottom right is the Gold Winners parallel.

More oddballs with the Fleer mini sets, some O-Pee-Chee and another Classic.

More of the same but the Donruss Canadian version is represented this time. I was surprised I didn't have the 1991 Bowman.

I also grabbed some more modern card of Cal, some with logos, some without.

Here's the horizontals as well. The middle 2 also go to the Vintage collection. Another Gold Winners on the bottom as well.

We don't sweat the small stuff either. Here's the smaller versions of cards and stickers that I also picked up.

All of the above cards came from my latest Sportlots shipment.

You know Dennis is going to have some Ripken's for me as well.

These 10 all came from Dennis at Too Many Verlanders in his annual Christmas package.

Lastly, I picked up this one in a dollar box at the card show this past weekend. I picked up enough and the dealer gave me a discount so it equaled out to only $.78.

These 54 cards give me 720 cards which puts the Ripken 1 card more than the Konerko collection for 1st place. I figured that would happen once I got to picking up Ripken's on Sportlots.

On The 8th Day, Ebay Gave To Me, 2 Free Cards

8th day in a row. I'm thinking that I purchase way more cards than I thought I did. Although, technically, 1 of those days was a package from someone else and not a purchase.

Today, I actually had to walk to the mailbox to get my cards because my daughter, who normally grabs the mail after school, had a field trip to Chicago so she wasn't getting home until later. I thought the change of routine might stop the streak. I was happy to see 4 envelopes, each containing 1 card I purchased but 1 envelope had 3 other cards as filler and 2 of those I could use as well.

2015 Topps Baseball History

 I picked up this modern day Carlton for $.37/shipped. I love the powder blue uniforms of the 80's, I really don't know why. This is my 67th card in the Steve Carlton collection.

1992 Score

I grabbed a couple more of Cal off of Ebay. I continue to grab his cards cheap, mainly because there are so many during the junk wax era. I paid a quarter shipped for this big headed Ripken.

1988 Fleer

A double Ripken. I grabbed this one for $.44/shipped so $.22 a Ripken. These 2 cards bring the Cal Ripken Jr Collection to 229 cards. What was nice about this pick up is the seller wrapped it in 3 other cards. 1 card was a NBA card which is going to my cousin in my next card dump but the other 2 fit in another collection.

1980 Topps

I assume since I purchased a Ripken card that he assumed that I was an Orioles fan. We all know that I'm not but I can certainly use this in the Vintage Collection.

1980 Topps

He sent me 2 cards from the 1980 Topps and I needed both of them. Those 2 cards put the 1980 Topps set at 112 cards which is just over 15% completed. I still can't believe he sent 3 vintage cards.

2011 Topps Finest Orange Refractor Autograph

Just like Josh Fields (Sunday's post) Brent Morel was supposed to be our 3rd baseman of the future and he's no longer with the Sox. I picked up this autograph that's numbered to /99 for $2.99/shipped. It's a pretty slick looking card, very shiny.
