1970's Saturday

This is the last Vintage post for this round but I still have quite a few posts left. I finally got my last box of cards from Sportlots logged in today. I still have to scan but I'm hoping to get it done tomorrow. I'm buying so many cards now it's tough keeping up with the posting. I debate to just not post everything here but then I feel like I might not post something somebody wants to see. I know my stuff isn't anything special but sometimes I feel like that's what makes my blog different.

I added 2 more to the 1979 set at $.18/each. These 2 give me 404 cards.

As much as I like vintage, these are some pretty boring shots. I picked up these 6 from 1977, also for $.18/each. They give me 242 cards.

I also grabbed a couple of 1975's but I paid a quarter each for them. They give me 99 cards which puts me at an even 15%. Long ways to go which is why I didn't mind paying $.25. Plus, you know, a quarter for vintage is still good.

3 more for the 1974 Topps set. All $.18 again and they put me at 307 cards.

Last but not least, I picked up 4 more for the 1970 set. These 4 only get me at 77 cards for that set. All but the Joe Lahoud card were $.18, Joe was a quarter.

While I still love vintage, there is a whole lot of boring photos going on up there.

3 + 1 + 7 = 11 card envelope

I got an envelope today with 11 cards in it. If you're new here, that's unusual. I actually won 3 of them which isn't that unusual for one envelope. They were all Kansas City Royals cards so apparently the seller figured I was a Royals fan and sent me 11 cards of that team. Sadly, out of all 11 minus the 3 I won, I only could actually use 1 more of the rest. Regardless, it is my 2nd free "filler" card that I could actually use in about a week, so there is that.

First off, the free card. It does fit into the Vintage collection and I was lucky enough that I didn't already have it because I do have 73% of that set.

I picked up this card of Amos (of who you'll see again) for $.23/shipped. This is my 171st card of that set.

Next up, we have this 1978 Topps of Freddie Patek that I also grabbed for $.23/shipped. This is my 153rd card of that set.

Last but not least, the other Amos card. This one is going back to a set I don't pick up often and oddly enough, it was cheaper than the others, or at least, the other 2 that I paid for. This card was only $.17/shipped and is my 49th card of that set.
