Welcome

This blog is about sports cards. I tend to only purchase cheap items so don't come hear expecting to see big money cards. My teams collections are Chicago White Sox and Michigan Wolverines. I also have a bunch of player collections.

Pre Show Post

Went over to my cousin's this evening to load up the cards and showcases for the show tomorrow. It's the same show we did a couple of months ago in Plymouth. It's not an overly huge show, it's in the basement of a church but it's been running for a couple of years now so it's got a good following. Plus, the church raises money while we're there by selling biscuits and gravy for breakfast and chili for lunch so we get food as well. The guy that runs it gives the money to the church and the local little league.

Today's post is in hopes of a season. I haven't see anything about spring training being postponed so we'll see.

I picked up all of these White Sox cards from the Baseball Card Store (online dime box) at a nickel a piece.


Fred gave me the top 2 cards as well as this team set from when the White Sox were the local minor league club. If I remember, there was only one name that did anything in the majors. I really liked this because I used to go to the games a lot more often when they were the White Sox. Now they're the Cubs.

Dennis sent me a ton of White Sox cards. I just selected the guys I have over 100 cards of to show off and I'll flip through them pretty quickly.

Robin Ventura - 153 cards.

To be honest, I'm not sure why I scanned these 3 together.

Harold Baines - 85 cards (I posted him because he's a HOFer.

Frank Thomas - 576 cards.



Ozzie Guillen - 110 cards. The cards Dennis sent me put my Ozzie cards over 100.

I posted Chris Sabo because, well, you know. Or at least Dennis does.

Some oddballs he sent as well. Love the bottom 2.

He also sent me this awesome 1959 card which will also go to the vintage collection.

Not only did Dennis hook me up with all of the above cards, but also these relics and auto. I told you he sent an awesome package.


The above 4 came from Sluggo. I'm not sure about those top 2 as in where they came from. It's not like he goes through the older stuff anymore, most of that is at our house. I liked Madrigal, I wish they wouldn't have traded him.




Lastly, I picked up all these Sox cards at the last card show we did. I paid a lot more of what I normally spend on cards on the Crochet auto. I'm really hoping he becomes something special.

That's all I got for White Sox cards that are non PC cards. Which is plenty. I don't know if I'll post tomorrow night or not. I'll be home in the early evening but as much as I enjoy setting up at shows, it wears me out.

Back in the day

So after our loss on Friday night, I have to rely on basketball to get my Michigan fix. Luckily, basketball is on tonight. Both men and women's so I'll have a couple of games to watch. It's a rarity to be able to watch the women's team as they don't put them on TV too often but they are pretty good this year and I believe, ranked in the top 10. We won't talk about the men's team.

Today's post is one of my more popular collections as in not too many people care for my White Sox or Michigan and that's what the majority of my collections are. But not today, today is Vintage!

All these came from baseballcardstore.ca. I had some money left over from a card show and figured I'd make a purchase there. Their cards are now a nickel which was great, but that's because they raised their shipping rates so after all was said and done, they all ended up costing me a dime a piece anyways. I checked some of the sets that I was close to finishing just to see what I needed. The 1981 Fleer set is now 78.9% completed. The 1982 Donruss set is now 80% complete. The 1986 Donruss set is now 91.5% complete, I only need 56 more. The 1987 Donruss set is now 75.9% complete.

All but the last card, were extra from Sportlots. As in, I picked them up from sellers that I was already buying cards from so I added these while I was still in the shipping range I was in.

These 2 only give me 77 cards from the 1983 Donruss set.

You already know where this set is from the top cards.

These 2 from 1978 Topps give me 184 cards.

These 4 from the 1977 Topps set give me 261 cards.

This 1974 Topps puts me at 311 cards.

This 1971 Topps give me 118 cards.

This 1963 Topps gives me 15 cards.



I picked these up from the same seller. When I saw a bunch of 1960 Topps for $.30/each I jumped on them.  They were listed as the same grade as most of the other cards above but as you can tell, they are a little more worse for the wear. I'll keep them and if I ever get close to completing it (probably never), I'll upgrade some of them. These 22 cards give me 70 cards from this set.

This 1959 Topps didn't come from Sportslots though, it came from Dennis at Too Many Verlanders. He sent me a huge Christmas package and while this is technically a White Sox collection card, I had to show it on the vintage post too because it's a true vintage card.

Back to the Sportslots cards, I picked up this 1958 Topps, it's my 22nd card from that set.


Lastly, I picked up this 1955 Bowman. It's only my 5th card from that set so I have a long ways to go.

Even though I've been buying a ton of player collection on Sportslots, I've been picking off quite a bit of Vintage as well. One of my fears of searching player collections is that it will leave my other ones bare but I've been picking up vintage here and there and my team collections I've been grabbing at shows so it's worked out.

Random Cards #70

Before I get to the random post, I ran across this today. Because of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Baseball Digest is giving free access to their online archives. I've signed up, they don't ask for any info other than an email address. This magazine takes me back to elementary school. I used to check them out at the library, they had issues from the 70's and I loved reading them. If you're not familiar with it, the first issue was in August of 1942 and you can read it there as well. Here's the link to the library, I assume it will take you to a sign up page - https://digital.baseballdigest.com/library/#

I got throught the A's today on my White Sox collection. The newer players I can breeze right through because most of them are listed because I've been record keeping for awhile now. The cards I had before I started the record keeping take awhile to log into the spreadsheet. Jose Abreu and Tim Anderson went by quick even though between them I have over 100 cards, Wilson Alvarez, however, took awhile and I only have 34 cards of him. Tomorrow will start the B's.

Anyways, here's the random post. I took out the # because now that I'm going through my spreadsheet, I sort them by columns all the time so it's not in the original order. It's ok though, I marked a separate column when I've used a card so you still shouldn't see any dupes.
