This isn't 2x3

Today's random came up with some vintage collection (real vintage). Despite what the title says, they all came from Jeff at 2x3 Heroes. All these photos came from TCDB because of the "lost scans incident."

Jeff is always good for some vintage because (I think) he buys a bunch of those repack boxes and there will be stuff in there. Although most of it is 80's, I think he does occasionally get some 70's as well. Adding these 2 to the set give me 350 cards which is over half done.

He also sent 1 from 1975 of Koosman who was a big part of the Miracle Mets in 1969. I'm not very far on the 1975 set as I am the 1976 set, this is only my 84th card from that set.

This is actually the reason for the title, this isn't 2x3 as in it's one of the couple of early sets that are just a little bigger than the normal cards. I'm sure this didn't come from one of those repack boxes either. It's only my 5th card from the 1956 set and 2 of those are White Sox cards. I really liked getting this card because my buying "rules" prevent me from getting great cards like this.

Vintage Mays and more

* I put my April incoming on random for today's post.

2 more days and 2 more posts. As I said in the last post, the last 2 are vintage posts and I already posted the 50's and the 60's so that should narrow it down for you. Before I get to the actual Vintage Collection cards, he sent me a couple that I'm keeping as well.

I always debated on collecting these checklists, because they are technically not park of the numbered set. I kind of feel that checklists should be part of the set so while I don't actively pick them up, I keep them when I get one.

I'm keeping this just because it's cool and it's Willie Mays. It's from a 1961 Topps Stamp set. It's listed as an insert from the 1961 Topps set.

Don Sutton and Nolan Ryan, yes please. My cousin sent these as part of his package. Obviously the Nolan Ryan card is pretty cool because I'm sure the base card is probably out of my cheap asses range. These 3 cards from 1975 give me 83 for the set.

He also sent this Don Sutton from the 1973 set that I needed.

These 14 cards from the 1973 set I picked up from Sportlots. I'm not going to post prices for each card but I did pay less than $.50 for each card. 4 of them were $.50 but the majority of them were $.18. The 15 cards put that set at 477 cards.

Next up is the few 80's that I picked up, I just about have everything scanned and ready to go for next month. That's what I worked on today.

1977 Topps day

Today, I'm going to catch up on the few envelopes I've received this week and then tomorrow I'll get together a post of the vintage cards that my cousin sent me. You'll get a bunch of vintage today as well. I've got 3 sellers to show today though so let's get to it. We'll start with the newer card.

I don't have to many cards of Todd Frazier because he's only been with the Sox for a year and the majority of my 2016 Sox cards are from flagship because Jeff (2x3 Heroes) sent those to me. I've picked up some others here and there but those are the majority of what I have. I believe I picked up another Frazier from 2016 Update earlier in the year. I picked up this one for $.25/shipped.

I picked up these 3 1977 Topps in a lot for $.45, which equals out to $.15/shipped. I put $.75 max bid since I needed all 3 so I was happy to get it at the price I did.

I picked up one of these at $.16/shipped and all the rest were anywhere between $.20/shipped and $.25/shipped. He had a ton more 1977's for sale, these are just the ones that I came away with for under a quarter. These 16 cards put that set at 88 cards which is good for 13% completed.
