Cheaper Than Stamps #47

We left off with our January vintage collection purchases, let’s look at what I got for the White Sox collection before we start with our February purchases.

Jordan Danks – 2013 Topps

I believe I have the series I part completed but this was the first from series II.  I grabbed this for $.11/shipped.

Paul Konerko – 2000 Topps

I grabbed this for $.20.  I already have it in the Paul Konerko collection so it goes over to the White Sox collection.  The sad part is I probably looked over it doing my Paul Konerko searches not even thinking that it could go in the team sets until I intentionally searched for White Sox cards and it popped up.  This brings that team set down to 3 cards.

1993 Donruss – Alex Fernandez and Steve Sax

I picked both of these up for $.11 each.  I still need 14 card for this set.

Frank Thomas – 1992 Topps

I got this card for free, that’s right, free.  I have a couple of sellers that package using other cards and for once, it was actually a card I could use.  Usually it’s a NBA card or later junk wax so I can’t even use it on my vintage collection.  I still need 23 cards for this set.

1986 Donruss – Daryl Boston and Bryan Little

I picked up the Little for $.11 and the Boston for $.29.  These 2 cards still bring me down to 21 cards to complete the set.

Daryl Boston – 1985 Donruss

This is a card I picked up in the 5 cards lots for the vintage collection.  I paid $.30 for the lot which equals out to $.06 each so this card was $.06.  I still need 23 cards for this set,

Completed Team Sets–1986 Topps

I needed one card to complete this set and I picked it up on COMC.  I had a crap load of 1986 Topps back then.  Junk wax or not, I was a kid and cards were still affordable so I’m not sure I’d call them junk.  Lots of memories in those years.

Can’t say much for the photography, but check out that logo.  I know, most don’t like it, but I do.

Tom Seaver and Carlton Fisk though.  2 Hall of Famers in this team set.

And probably a future Hall of Famer manager in Tony LaRussa.  A lot of future White Sox staff as well, Ozzie Guillen, Harold Baines, Greg Walker to name a few.  I never minded this set, maybe because of the memories but I don’t think it’s that horrible looking.  I prefer my cards with a team logo on the front but with the huge lettering at top, I can forgive the oversight.

If you can look at the oversight that I have 2 Reid Nichols cards in there.  Oops.

Group Break

Spankee from “My Cardboard Mistress” held an awesome group break.  He broke all kinds of boxes and being as my collection is fairly new, most of the cards were new to me as well.

This is just a small selection of the cards.  I think the majority of the Konerko’s were new to that collection as well.

As you can tell, he broke new with the old.  Love the Fisk Kimball and those 3 stickers are the first I have gotten.  I can not find any around here at all.  Although, I tend to only shop at Walmart.  I just don’t go anywhere else that has cards.  I don’t shop at Meijer or Target, and I don’t ever even go to Walmart just for cards, I pick them up while I’m there for something else.  But I was excited when I saw he broke some stickers and was hoping to get some.

And a few horizontal cards.  All Konerko’s for the Konerko collection.  And of course, the reason you get into breaks.  Hits!

I scored a jersey of Konerko.  SWEET!  And with a stripe.

Thanks Spankee for the great group break.  I’m glad you sent me my cards before my Wolverines met your Hokies, otherwise you might be mad at me after the game.
