Lotsa Sox and others
We'll start with the 1 lone vintage card. I picked this card up for a reason but you'll have to wait until next month before I get into it. I would have guessed I had this already but apparently not. I picked this up on Sportlots for $.18.
This lone card of the original Pudge gives me 164 cards of him. He's wearing the wrong colored Sox but what can you do. This card came from my cousin.
I picked up this gold version of a very young Mark Buehrle on Sportlots for $.39. Not to bad for a parallel 2nd year card. This card gave me 198 for his collection.
The last player is Paulie of whom I picked up more than a few cards of his. These all come from CardBarrel and with shipping were all $.22/each. First up are the Reds cards from his pre-White Sox days.
No, you're not looking at duplicates. The backs are different.
See, I wasn't lying.
I love the sleeveless uniforms on the Ultra. I'd like to see those come back if only occasionally. I find the Bowman hilarious because it shows Paulie running. 5 tool player, Konerko was not.
The 1987 Fleer look-a-like in the Platinum. As you can tell, I picked up quite a few Konerko cards CardBarrel. With these additions, the PK collection is up to 478 cards.
Make that 479 different cards as I also got this card from my cousin. I thought I already had this one as well but I have a future stock parallel. It's basically the same card except it says future stock in the upper right corner. I'm closing in on that 500 mark with my favorite all time player. He will be only my 3rd player with over 500 cards. The others are Ripken and Frank Thomas.

Package from Blue Batting Helmet, part deux
You saw the post from yesterday of the cards Rob from “Blue Batting Helmet” sent me for my White Sox Collection. Today you’ll see the additions to the Vintage Collection. They are all Chicago White Sox cards but I already had them. Luckily they still went into this collection.
First we start off with the babies of the vintage collection, everybody’s favorite wood panel cards, 1987 Topps. You might even recognize both players, Ozzie Guillen and Carlton Fisk.
A 1985 Topps Julio Cruz.
A 1983 Topps Tom Paciorek. I seem to notice a pattern here, 1987, 1985, 1983. Apparently Rob collects all even years because he isn’t giving them up.
There we go, an even year, and a true vintage card at that. A 1978 Topps Bob Lemon.
As I stated yesterday, Rob always give a good selection of cards. Thanks again Rob.
