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.

More Vintage

* I put my March purchases on random for today's post.

I got another question for you that Twitter didn't answer, like normal. I finished up my Frank Thomas cards today, took all day, but I have one card I can't identify.



The top picture is the card, it looks like the Flashback Friday set Topps did but it's a different picture and it's a mini. The bottom photo shows the size compared to a normal card. The back is just plain cardboard, no printing whatsoever. Anybody?

On to the vintage, I showed you the post of 1973's already, well today you get to see some other vintage cards. I bought a card or 2 from one seller and I went to see what else they had that I could use.






A couple players up there with decent careers, I picked up all 9 of these for a quarter a piece on Sportlots. These cards put that set at 79 cards which is 12% completed. Some nice pickups for the vintage collection.

Purchase from JABO

Kyle over at “JABO’s” opened up a box of 1982 Donruss and offered up teams at $5 a team including shipping.  I only had 3 to begin with so I jumped on it.

18 new cards to my collection.  Not quite a team set but pretty close.  But if you’ve dealt with Kyle before, you always know your going to get some extra cards.

Steve Carlton, Bo Jackson and Frank Thomas, all 3 new to the White Sox collection.

And he threw in a Tom Seaver for the Tom Seaver collection.  Thanks Kyle, as always, great dealing with you.

Card Show Vintage #3

I told in the previous posts that I found a quarter box with some vintage, here are some of my finds. Working from the newest to the oldest.

6 1974’s.  Only 4 of these count towards the team set but I grabbed the Rookie Pitchers and the NNO checklist to go along with them.  At a quarter, can I really turn them down.  And with the 4 that do count, it puts me 6 cards away from that team set.
