80's love

I mentioned in my last card, non birthday or music, post that once I get close to my budget on Sportlots, I check my shopping cart to make sure that I'm buying at least 4 cards from each seller. When I open the sellers page, by default, it goes to whichever sport they have the most of (usually baseball) and their oldest cards listed. Sometimes I'll open it up and it'll have 80's cards listed so I'll look and see what they have.

I picked up these 3 from a seller. I know it's nothing exciting since it's 1986 Donruss but they bump me over 500 cards to 501 for that set which is just over 75% completed.

I only needed 2 cards from this seller and grabbed the top 2, then I saw the bottom 2 and grabbed them as well. The Brett was $.35 but the Parker was the minimum at $.18. These 4 give me 466 cards which is just over 70% completed.

Unlike the other 2 sets, this one isn't as far done but I've been picking up some here and there lately. I do enjoy this set as 1981 was when I first started buying packs. I didn't get a bunch of Donruss but I do remember opening some of them up. These 4 only give me 106 cards which is just over 16% completed.

Weekend Arrivals

I slacked and didn't post what I received Friday and Saturday so your going to get a ton of cards on today's post so I can catch up. I had to work yesterday and just was in kind of a blah mood last night so I got lazy. I had planned on posting Friday's cards on Friday and Saturday's cards on Saturday so today I could post the Christmas gift I received but now it's all getting thrown into one post.

Friday came with 3 envelopes, 1 of those you'll see later in this post because it was the Christmas gift.

1996 Score Dugout Collection Series 2

I added another to the Barry Larkin collection, I now have 103 cards of the former Wolverines. Picked this one up for $.15/shipped.

I also got another 80's card for the Vintage Collection. I picked up this 1985 Donruss for $.17/shipped. It's only my 34th card from that set so it's only at 5% completed.

Yesterday, I received a bunch of cards from 1 seller. He had listed a ton of stuff for my Vintage Collection. Obviously, since I won them for a quarter or less, they are all 80's but they are still needed.

I picked up one for the 1987 Donruss set. Grabbed this one for $.20/shipped. This is my 226th card in that set which puts it at just under 35% completed.

I picked this one up for the 1986 Donruss set. It is my 469th card of that set which put it at just over 71% completed. I picked this one for a dime.

I picked this one up for the 1985 Fleer set. It is my 242nd card of that set which puts it at 37% completed. I picked this one up for $.12/shipped.

 

I also got these 4 cards for the 1984 Topps set. These cards put that set at 260 cards which is around 33% completed. I picked them up for $.22/shipped, $.06/shipped and both the bottom cards at $.16/shipped each.

I got these 2 cards for the 1981 Topps set. Those cards put that set at 544 cards which is good for 75% completed. I picked up the first card for a quarter/shipped and the 2nd for $.20/shipped.

This was the bulk of the package as I managed to grab 8 cards from the 1981 Fleer set. I'm not sure how I ended up with 2 cards for each team represented as I purchased them as singles but it happened. I grabbed the 2 Orioles cards for $.25/shipped and $.12/shipped. The 2 Dodgers cards for $.12/shipped each. The 2 Astros cards for $.22/shipped and $.25/shipped. Finally, the 2 Royals cards for $.23/shipped and $.12/shipped. These cards put that set at 57 cards and only 9% completed.

That's all for yesterday's cards. I think since this post is so big that I'm going to go ahead and make the Christmas gift a whole other post. I'm going to go ahead and get it together today but post it one day next week when I don't receive any cards in the mail.

Cheaper Than Stamps #25

This is a series where I show off cards I need for my PC’s that I pick up on Ebay or COMC for cheaper than a stamp.  My maximum I spend on these cards is actually $.30 so I get them quite a bit cheaper than a stamp.

Steve Carlton – 2012 Topps Archives cloth stickers #SC, 2010 Topps Legendary Lineage #LL-73, 1978 Topps (leaders) #205

I picked up the 2 modern cards on COMC for $.33 and $.31 and the vintage card for $.30 on Ebay.  That’s my first cloth sticker in any of my collections.  I didn’t even manage to pull any when I was buying packs back then.

  

Gary Carter – 1989 Topps Glossy #20, 1988 Topps #530

I picked both of these up on Ebay.  The Topps glossy came in a 5 card lot, all of that card, for $.26 and the 1988 Topps for $.17.  If you want one of the glossy Carter’s, let me know and I’ll PWE it to you.

Carlton Fisk – 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes #177

I picked this up on COMC for $.41.  I actually picked up 2 of them, one for my Carl Yastrzemski collection as well.
