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.

3 card Monday

I had to open another dispute on Ebay today. Most of the time, I either get a response or a refund. I never get upset if they respond with a my bad or oh crap! I forgot. I've been there and things get in the way. I've gotten cards over a month late before and as long as they send it, I still leave positive feedback. Most of the time, I just get a refund with no explanation. I wonder how many of those are just people who refused to send the cards because I won them so cheap. Doesn't matter to me because unless they used tracking, which who does that with a PWE, Paypal guarantees my money. I feel like an asshole starting a dispute for only $.15. I know it's not a lot of money, but it's a whole another card I could have purchased and it certainly isn't my fault that I won it so cheap, it's not like I cheated the system. Oh well, I'm sure I'll probably get the refund.

I did get 3 envelopes today with 3 cards. 2 White Sox, 2 Vintage and 1 player collection.


I picked up this 1980 Topps for $.25/shipped. This card puts that set at 132 cards and just over 18% complete.


I picked this up for $.23/shipped, it goes to the Vintage and the White Sox collections. It is my 92nd card of the 1977 Topps set putting that at just under 14% completed. As far as the White Sox team set, I still need another 8 cards to complete it.


I picked this Jim Abbott card for $.25/shipped as well. It goes to the White Sox collection also. It's always good to see Jim in the White Sox gear. I still need 5 cards to complete that team set, I don't know how many it started with but I know I probably only have a few. It's also my 89th card of Jim Abbott.

Complete Team Sets–1976 Topps

Another vintage completion.

I like the red jerseys but I’m not in love with them.  I prefer to see the Chicago White Sox in black and white.

Beltin’ Bill Melton and Wilbur Wood.  Both vintage players I like.  Can’t say much about the look of this set.   Kind of hideous if you ask me.  I guess I can’t complain about the red since it was one of their colors that year, but the green?  And I don’t like the little logo guy in the bottom corner either.

I had to pick up a couple of cards from this set to complete it.  I do like the team card, I have always liked them.  They remind me of the team photos they’d send you when you sent the teams letters.  I used to send a letter to each team to get their fan packs.
