Base Sox

With all the autos and relics I've picked up lately, I've also picked up some regular cards for quarters as well.

I took a chance that I don't have this. I have almost 10,000 cards logged and it wasn't listed there but I have tons of cards that I don't have listed yet so I may have it. This is gold version so I took a shot. I picked it up for $.25/shipped

Again, took a shot. I didn't have this set listed in my team sets needs so I'm assuming I don't have any but like I said, I have a lot I don't have listed yet. I could just be screwing up what Bowman set this is because Bowman confuses the hell out of me with all their different numbered set in one. If I do have it, I'm only out $.25/shipped.

I also picked up this Snopek card on a guess. This card doesn't look familiar so I really don't think I have this one. It was also $.25/shipped.

Sox Prospects

I got 3 cards in 3 different envelopes today but I'm only going to show 2 today. I'm waiting on one other coming in the mail and I'll show that one along with the one I'm not showing today. I picked up a couple of Chicago White Sox cards for the Sox Collection.

This is a die cut card, it doesn't show it as well as I'd like but you get what you get. This card of Chris Snopek is a 1996 Upper Deck Future Stock Prospects comes to me for $.17/shipped. If I remember correctly, he was supposed to replace Robin Ventura but never really panned out. That seems to happen a lot with prospects in our system. Let's hope that trend doesn't continue with our make over this season.

This came up on my search for under a $.25 with free shipping and since it was an auto, I went ahead and put $2 on it. Luckily, it only took half of that to bring it home. I got it for $1.04/shipped. He was alright as a Sox starter but he found his niche coming out of the bullpen for other teams, even had a number of years as a decent closer.

New Additions - White Sox Collection (1990s)

I have randomed them and let's see what we got (unless you peeked at the title.) Sorry if a few are blurry, I didn't realize it when I edited them and I wasn't going to go back, find the cards and take new photos.

White Sox Collection (1990s)

Jeff sent me these 3 Sox cards from the 1990's, a Black Jack McDowell, gold even.

I also grabbed these 2 out of a dime box. The Flair Showcase has a rainbow kind of tint to it, I never took the time to google that but I assume it's some kind of parallel but I could be wrong.

Be sure to check out my other 2 card blogs as well.

Cards from Baseball Dad

Baseball Dad/Dave from “Indians Baseball Cards” opened a pack a day last year from opening day till the end of the season plus some bonus packs.  You were able to claim a team or players and when they were pulled, you got the cards.  All he asked in return was to send him some cards in a trade or paypal him some money.  I don’t have much of anything to trade so I sent him some money a few days ago.  Let’s check out what I got.

First off, the odd shaped cards.  The Bobby Thigpen is a normal sized card.  You can see the 1986 Donruss cards are huge in comparison, I didn’t know they came that size until I saw Dave opening them.  And then the pop-up is from 1985 Donruss (I think).  I do remember having some of those back then so it wasn’t new to me.

All of these 1990’s cards are new to the White Sox collection.

As well as these from the 2000’s.  Nothing terribly exciting but I needed all of them so it’s still greatly appreciated.

He’s getting ready to draft this years cards so jump on over to “Indians Baseball Cards” and get signed up.

Trade with the Cynical Buddha

Cynical Buddha from “Collector’s Crack” contacted me about a card I had won in a contest from “Baseball Cards, Sports and Life”.  Here’s the card, he wanted.

So I sent that away to him along with some Brewers and he sent me these.

A bunch of 1996 and 1997 fleer, all new to the White Sox Collection.  Along with these bonus cards.

A numbered Paul Konerko, I think I may have seen these before, but I know I didn’t have any.  And along with that he sent this.

Love this card, I have other Chris Sale auto’s but I didn’t have this one.

Thanks for the cards Mark, check out Cynical Buddha’s blog over at “Collector’s Crack”.

Cheap Ebay Pick-up

 

• James Baldwin – 1997 Upper Deck ($.06/shipped)
• Tony Phillips – 1997 Upper Deck ($.06/shipped)
• Chris Snopek – 1997 Upper Deck ($.11/shipped)

I won all these from the same seller.  I needed all 3 of them for my White Sox Collection.  All of these were in lots of 2, so I got dupes of all 3.  But since I didn’t pay much for them I can’t complain.  I only put max bids of $.25 on each (there were 3 separate auctions).  They all came from the same seller which is why I’m showing them together.
