Colorful but not pretty

Michigan looked really good and the Sox are finally playing up to expectations. I'd say it was a good weekend. If you read yesterdays post than you know it was one of the two camping trips I make throughout the year. Well that was last weekend, the weekend before that, we set up at the Plymouth card show. One of the dealers that we've gotten to know from setting up at shows is the Man Cave card shop. They are out of Stanton, Michigan but we see them all the time around here at shows plus we even drove up to their shop once so we all know each other. Well, they do videos of all their pick-ups and activities and they asked us about being in one, neither of us really wanted to be in it but we did it for the plug.

They finally got around to posting the video, they divided their pick-up videos into 3 different posts for each sports which was nice because they posted the show video in one, nice and short, 8 minute video which is where we were featured. Here it is.

If you don't have 8 minutes or know how to fast forward while watching, we are briefly at the 3:40 mark and the interview with the show host is at 4:50 mark. Nothing special or flashy but it was what it is.

Today's post isn't anything I picked up at that show since I didn't pick anything up but it's one of the more favorite posts that we do over here. I actually picked these up from Sluggo who bought out a dealer set up next to us at the Mishawaka show.

I grabbed these 5 cards from the 1972 set. Not my favorite set, not a fan of the 70's colors sets but they are still vintage and I don't hate them. These 5 give me 89 cards from 1972.

Woo Hoo! A Bernie Williams rookie. Oh, that's not the right one. I also got this one card from the 1971 set. Black border is definitely better than the wacky colors. This card puts that set at 128 cards.

Last but not least, I picked up these 2 from the 1968 set. As plain as this set is, it's still better than the "colorful" ones in the 1970's. These 2 put that set at 49 cards.

Not my usual huge post of vintage but vintage all the same.

Sluggo - Vintage (1985-1978)

I got my Sportslots cards in but I haven't logged them yet but I did get the cards logged in from Sluggo so we'll start there. He gave me a stack of vintage that he didn't need. A lot of Yankees we're in the collection he bought out so don't be surprised by how many are in these posts.

I'll start with this 1985 Topps. I mentioned that I was close to finishing this set once I got my Sportslots package and he asked if I had this one. I didn't, so he gave me one, he said he had 3 or 4 of them and they aren't huge sellers anymore.

He set me up with these 2 cards from the 1980 Topps set. They are my 188th and 189th cards from that set and I reached over a quarter done at 26% completed.

If you didn't recognize the names (I know them) from the last 2, you should know the names of these 2 from 1979 Topps. These 2 cards put that set at 351 cards and 48.3% completed. Almost to the half way mark.

He also gave me these 3 from the 1978 Topps. 1 more Yankee but a couple of different team cards as well. These 3 put that set at 174 cards which is good for 24% complete.

Back with some older vintage soon.
