Completed team set

I got contacted a few weeks ago from Tony that said he had a few cards for me.  Turns out, Tony has a blog that he has started.  So after checking it out, and emailing back and forth, he still wanted to send me cards even though I told I may not be able to return the favor.  Not only did he send me some cards, but he sent everything I needed to complete my 1984 Topps Chicago White Sox team set.

It’s my first completed team set in a long time.  Doesn’t help I don’t buy much for them but still Tony hooked me up.  I’m even going to go through the few cards I do have and hope I have some Milwaukee Brewers to send him.  I would think I’d have something he wants.  Be sure to check out Tony’s relatively new blog at “Off Hiatus Baseball Cards”.  He’s a couple of months in but still going strong.

Group Break

Spankee from “My Cardboard Mistress” held an awesome group break.  He broke all kinds of boxes and being as my collection is fairly new, most of the cards were new to me as well.

This is just a small selection of the cards.  I think the majority of the Konerko’s were new to that collection as well.

As you can tell, he broke new with the old.  Love the Fisk Kimball and those 3 stickers are the first I have gotten.  I can not find any around here at all.  Although, I tend to only shop at Walmart.  I just don’t go anywhere else that has cards.  I don’t shop at Meijer or Target, and I don’t ever even go to Walmart just for cards, I pick them up while I’m there for something else.  But I was excited when I saw he broke some stickers and was hoping to get some.

And a few horizontal cards.  All Konerko’s for the Konerko collection.  And of course, the reason you get into breaks.  Hits!

I scored a jersey of Konerko.  SWEET!  And with a stripe.

Thanks Spankee for the great group break.  I’m glad you sent me my cards before my Wolverines met your Hokies, otherwise you might be mad at me after the game.
