South Bend recap

A couple of Saturday's ago we did the monthly South Bend show. It wasn't a great show which means I had too much time on my hands and wandered around which means I bought stuff.

These 8 cards came from Fred who I work with. He came to the show and while shopping around for himself, he picked me up these cards. The bottom 3 are all numbered Michigan cards.

I picked up these 3 from Nick and Jackson of Bockaj's Best Ball Cards who are friends of ours. I paid $10 for these 3, the Vaughn and Wynn were $1 cards and he had $15 on the Nwogu auto, it's numbered to /99.

A dealer I didn't know down from us had a small $1 box where I found all 3 of these. The Hutch is base but the other 2 are color/holo parallels.

There was a guy that I had seen before that had oddball stuff so I went over to look at his stuff. I picked up the Avisail Garcia auto helmet and a Seaver figure for $6. I wouldn't have picked up the helmet as he's not someone I normally look for but he only had $5 on it so I couldn't turn that down.

These didn't technically come from the show as Kevin brought them to me from his sorting at home but he gave them to me the same day as the show so I'm throwing them up here. Along with the 2 Haskins at the top, you'll see all current Wolverines.

Some more former Wolverines up there as well. That Houstan is the base and I just added the pink (I think) parallel to my PC a week or so before I got these.

He gave me the top 3 cards of Hutch and I paid for the bottom 3. 

A couple of Tier 3 cards. The Carter is the Retrofractor parallel.

Some inserts and parallels for Tier 2 collections.

Kevin even threw in some Tier 1 cards with these 2 PK's and a Seaver insert. It seems like I've picked up quite a few PK's in the last couple of months.

Lastly, he found some modern team cards to add to my PC's as well.

It may not have been a great show but I did come home with some great cards.

Sorting Pickups and more

We set up at the Fort Wayne show today and yes, I purchased a few cards and got a few for free but you'll get those once I catch up.

Today, you're going to see cards that I got from my LCS from sorting and from visiting when I was dropping off the sorting.

I got all 3 of these while sorting. The boxes I did were mostly older stuff (the Perry) with a little bit of newer stuff (Hill & Livers). I did quite a few boxes and that was all I got (which is fine).

When I went in to drop the sorted cards and pick up more, Fred gave me a few cards to see if I need. There were a couple of Sox cards but this Dylan Cease was the only one I needed.

Fred remembered that I pulled a Kobe Bufkin relic from one of the sorts so he threw these aside for me as well. I didn't have to pay for them, he said I could keep them for sorting for him.

As I was looking around, I noticed a ton of autographed mini helmets, he said he bought a collection from someone who was collecting all the Heisman winners, plus there were some oddballs. There were 2 Michigan helmets so I was looking at those. I told him I'd take the 1 because it was cheap but I was debating on the other one. After awhile, I said damn it, what do you want for the other one.

The helmet on the right has 2 signatures, Jake Ryan and Blake Countess. That was the cheap one, he only had $15 on it. The one on the left however, is the one and only, Desmond Howard. He had $50 on that one. I was going to put it on credit and pay it later. He told me when he purchased them, he got such a good deal that I could just have the helmets for all the sorting I do. I told him I'd pay for them and he knows that but he said, it's fine, keep them. Sweet!

Plymouth Pick Ups

We went to Peru for a decent sized card show yesterday. It started out really slow but got rolling after an hour or so. As per the usual, I went out and shopped and spent $25 plus got some free cards but you'll have to wait another post to see those because today, you get the cards I picked up at last week's show in Plymouth. Kevin bought a few boxes of cards from other dealers and I went through them between customers and pulled some for myself. I also purchased a few from Curtis who I regularly buy from. He only sets up at the Plymouth show because it's local and him and his wife hang out at most of the shows. They're an older couple, retired, but he loves baseball cards and he buys on Ebay and sells at this show. He has his cards sorted by teams, which I love (we do as well) so I always hit his table. It helps he's always set up next to us as well.

I'll post by collection, but I'll point out the couple I paid for, otherwise, everything was free from Sluggo.

I added one more team card to that collection. A Rockies one at that which I don't get many since they didn't have any Vintage one which is where a bunch of my team cards come from. This one gives me 4 team cards of the Rockies.

For the White Sox Collection, I'll start with this trio of Colson Montgmery's (17) and another Oscar Colas who I've been trying to pick up in hopes they'll be on the big league club this year. Been focusing on younger guys more than those already on the team lately for obvious reasons. My 3rd card of Peyton Pallette and another of Madrigal (53), who isn't with us anymore, but I like. Another Abreu (282) and Anderson (239) and one more of some guy named Frank Thomas (1028).

These both were purchased from Curtis, I paid a buck and a half each, which was below the stickers, another reason that I buy from him. It's my 82nd of Rodon and my 12th of Colas.

Oddly enough, there was one vintage card in the box Kevin bought and luckily enough, I needed it. It's my 360th card from the 1975 set. It puts me over 54% complete.

Next up are my Tier 3 collections.

These 3 Tier 3 PC's get a card each. The Bird and Bench are newer cards while the Ripken is an early 2000's Ultra. Larry Bird PC is up to 111 cards, the Bench at 240 cards and Cal is almost there at 986 cards.

Next up, Tier 2.

I added another Cease for free and a Vaughn for $3. The Cease rookie is free from Kevin and the Vaughn is the rainbow foil. Both are rookies. This is 103 cards for Cease and number 99 for Vaughn.

The top 2 Robert Jr's are base cards and obviously, the bottom is the pink refractor. I've been getting his cards pretty quickly lately and these 3 put me at 210 cards.

2 more for Eloy as well. A Chronicles rookie that looks like a color parallel but it's not, and a color parallel that's not a rookie. These 2 cards give me 219 cards of Eloy.

Next up is the Tier 2 Michigan players.

Always happy to grab some baseball Michigan players with this refractor of Franklin which is my 6th card of his. On the flip side, we have an ice parallel of LeVert (have I mentioned I love the Ice parallels). This gives me 62 cards of Caris.

A rookie card of Livers and an extremely shiny Poole. I don't come across too many Livers as this is only my 9th card of him. Poole on the other hand is at 50 cards now.

I also grabbed 2 more of Ronnie Bell, both in the Maize and Blue which makes them even better. These 2 give me 7 of the rookie.

I also grabbed 2 of Moussa Diabate who I just got his 1st one of not long ago. Plus you gotta love the Ice parallels.

I also got one more of Hawkins and Wilson. The Hawkins is my 4th but the 3rd different Sage. The DJ Wilson is the blue velocity parallel and is my 24th card of him.

Next up is Tier 1.

I also found this Chrome of Seaver. I already have the base so I almost passed this up thinking I had it. This is my 582nd of Tom Terrific.

With all those shiny parallels, I also passed a milestone on TCDB. Dennis made me aware of this around a month ago, or at least that I was close but after this post and adding some of the scans, I went over 3000 scans added to TCDB.
