Completed Team Sets–1975 Topps

Another vintage team set that I completed with the previous COMC purchase was this awesome set.

I had thought I finished this with the end of the year purchase in December but I accidently bought a mini instead of the regular sized card.

I really do hate all the oddball colors but yet I love the set for them.  I can’t understand it.  I kind of feel the same way about the 1976 Topps set as well.

I guess the advantage of being a White Sox fan is that there is rarely a high dollar card that you have to pick up.

Technically the leader and rookie cards aren’t part of the team set, but I’m throwing them in anyways.

Believe it or not, I still have a couple of Vintage Complete Sets to post.  So stay tuned because I have a few other packages from fellow bloggers to throw up as well.

Completed Team Set–1974 Topps

I completed this set before the end of the year but I’ve been a slacker for awhile.  I get such a satisfaction of finishing a vintage team set.  I finished 4 of them from the 70’s just before the end of the year with my black Friday purchases from COMC.

I can’t believe they followed up the 1973 Topps photography with these.  Only 3 action shots in the first 16 cards.

A couple more action shots.  These were odd years for the White Sox just because their uniforms really have nothing to do with their normal color scheme.  But I do enjoy them because they are a little different from the norm.

I went ahead and threw the Ron Santo traded and a rookie pitchers card with Ken Frailing from the Sox on it even though they may not be technically part of the team set.

Sox for Sox, the way it should be

Steve over at “White Sox Cards” contacted me about swapping some duplicates since we both collect the White Sox.  I like Steve’s blog for obvious reasons, most posts are about the White Sox.  And he creates a card for every game the Sox play throughout the year.  Sad to say, he probably hasn’t had much joy this year in making those cards as we are under .500.  I really like the couple of card blogs out there that make their own unique cards like Steve’s or there are a few that put modern players in a vintage card, I think those are cool too.  But back to the post, I sent him about 20 or so cards off his need list, a couple even completed sets so I was happy for that because I didn’t feel like I was sending anything special.

Here’s the highlights of what he sent me.

Can never go wrong sending me vintage, especially when I don’t have them.  Which is a big list because I just started collecting again.  Really like the 2 60’s cards, the more vintage, the better.  I don’t know if I’ve seen this other set before or not but I like it.  They are labeled 1994 The Sporting News, I don’t know the premise of the set, but I like what I see.  I’m guessing the set is broke off into subsets since these 4 are labeled First Card, Spitballers and Black Sox Scandal.

Steve also sent a bunch more off my want list.  Definitely a great trader, and a great White Sox fan.  Thanks for the trade Steve, check out his blog at “White Sox Cards”.
