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.

Quarry Cards

A quick post before I head to bed.

As I'm sure most of you know, Johnny over at Cards From the Quarry hosts a Sunday PWE Trade Bait where you can pick cards (he posts one from every team) and he will PWE them to you in exchange for something off his want list (or other cards he can trade). I selected a bunch and got them in a few envelopes. I had to go to Sportlots to grab stuff for him because I didn't have anything in my very limited trade box.

Everyone of these beauties are numbered. 1 current member (Engel) and 1 World Series Champion (Jenks). Here are the numbers breakdown. 28th card of Jenks, 14th of Engel, 3rd card of Carter, 6th of Fry, 53rd card of Peavy and 151st card of Sale.



A couple more in different envelopes. This boxey Frazier and an Icons Dye. I really thought I had the Dye when it came up but apparently not. I think I have a Thome from the same set that's numbered. It is my 33rd card of Frazier and 89 cards of Dye.

I really appreciate these serial numbered cards because I tend to buy cheap which means, serial numbered are usually out of my price range.

Pictures of pitchers

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

I'm going to show a couple of former White Sox pitchers today. One is a player collection, one is not.



In case you couldn't tell by the header, these both came from the Diamond King. Not only did he just come back from a hiatus but he came back offering free cards. I claimed one of these Jake Peavy's because I didn't have one, but Kevin was kind enough to send 2. They are both serial #'d to /999 so they both can stay in my collection. Thanks Kevin! Be sure to check him out, he's got more than just free cards going on, but there are free cards as well.

The other pitcher has a little more of a history of the Sox, and there are 2 cards from 2 different places.



First off, this 2001 that I thought I already had but apparently not. This came in the package from my cousin.



I would have guessed I had this one as well, but apparently, again I didn't. This came as a delayed Season of Giving package as he had nobody to take his White Sox cards. These Buehrle's give me 197 cards of his, I might have to go look for a few for next month and see if I can't crack the 200 Mark, get it, Mark, Mark Buehrle. Yeah, I know, that was lame but I couldn't help it. Be sure to check out Chris at Nachos Grande, if only for all the Barry Larkin's.

Green White Sox

Another day, another relic, or 2. I grabbed both of these from the same seller.


I know I have some of these but I don't think I had the Jake Peavy. If I do, I'm pretty sure I don't have the one with the green stripe like this one. I assume that's from their half-way to St. Patricks day game. I picked this up for $1.99/shipped.


Now this one I may have, although I don't think I have a solid black piece but I might. Or I might not have it at all. I'll figure it out when I put it away in it's binder. I picked this one up for $1.99/shipped as well.

Finally, some mail this week

I got 2 envelopes today. It was nice to see after not getting anything since last Saturday. On the other hand, I've been getting caught up on all my baseball card related stuff I'm working on.

The first envelope came with 2 cards, both player collections.

2002 Topps Archives
I picked up this vintage look-a-like for the Gary Carter Collection. I remember how awesome the Topps Archives were back then, I didn't mind the copied cards of the past because at the time, they were the only modern cards to get vintage players from. Now, damn near every set has those players. I picked this one up for $.23/shipped.

1998 Skybox Metal Universe
I also picked up this cool looking Metal card. This was my favorite year of these cards because I liked only having the metal as the background. It makes the player pop. Although, the actual card shows the background a lot more than this scan does. This pickup for the Barry Larkin Collection came to me for $.22/shipped.

The next envelope had 3 cards in it but only 1 player collection card.

1992 Score
I got this for the Cal Ripken Jr Collection. I picked this one up for $.19/shipped. Kind of an odd shot, I assume the locamotive has to do with his nickname "Iron Man". If I wasn't so old and could read the really small print on the back, I probably could verify that.

2013 Topps Chrome XFractor
The seller had listed a few White Sox refractors and I pulled a couple for the White Sox Collection. I don't think $.19/shipped is to high for an XFractor.

2012 Topps Chrome Purple Refractor
As you can tell, I won another Sox refractor. Even though it looks blue in the scan, it's actually a purple border. I also grabbed this refractor for $.19/shipped.

21 card salute for the day after Independence Day

Apparently since there were 2 days off from the mail service, they bombed me with 6 envelopes today so let's just get to it. We'll start with the White Sox collection pick ups.

2011 Topps Cognac ($.54)

2009 Upper Deck Sweet Spot ($.10)

2004 Upper Deck Reflections ($.30)

2012 Bowman Chrome Prospects Blue Refractor #'d/250 ($.16)

2011 Bowman Prospects Blue #'d/500 ($.40)

2010 Bowman Chrome Blue Refractor #'d/150 ($.17)
The Peavy came from 1 seller, all the rest came from another. Great prices for some serial numbered Sox cards.

2016 Topps Heritage ($.40)
My first AJ as a brave but then again, I have no other 2016 cards, or 2015 of him.

2016 Topps Heritage ($.40)

2011 Bowman Blue ($.15)
2 more for the Ryan Zimmerman collection. The Heritage came from the seller of the AJ Heritage and the Blue card came from the seller with all the blue refractors for the Sox collection.

2016 Topps Heritage ($.40)
1 more Chris Sale and from the same guy from the other Heritage.

2016 Topps Heritage ($.40)
Another heritage from the same seller (last one), this one for the Steve Carlton collection.

2000 Upper Deck Powerdeck ($.36)

1996 Clear Assets Phone Card ($.38)
2 oddball Ripkens. The Powerdeck CD was cool back in the day but my laptop doesn't even have a disc drive anymore.

2001 Donruss Elite #'d/1000 ($.30)
Always happy to get more Crede and a numbered one at that. Also came from the same seller as the other numbered (blue) Sox cards.

1995 Upper Deck SP Salute ($.48)
I even managed to grab another Mike Schmidt card, a die cut from the same seller as most of the above (blue and numbered cards).

1993 Topps Pre-Production Sample ($.54)

I posted the back of this card so you could see the sample spot. One for the Fisk collection. I checked out the actual 1993 Topps and it's pretty much the same photo but it's cropped differently.

1993 Topps ($.30)
Another Gary Carter for that collection and it looks to be a great shot with who I'm guessing is the crime dog, Fred McGriff.

2001 Upper Deck Decade 70s Bellbottomed Bashers ($.16)

2002 Upper Deck World Series Heroes ($.17)
2 more Johnny Bench's for that collection. Both cards are post career cards but for $.33 total, you can pass that up.

2008 Upper Deck Draft Edition ($.46)
One more Mike Hart, that 2 in 2 weeks which is a rarity, I don't come across too many of his cards anymore.

2008 Razor Signature Series ($2.76)
Last but not least, a Zach Putnam autograph for the Michigan collection. I actually have one of these but I couldn't pass up another one for under $3. He is also currently on the Sox roster so there is that. Although I think he's on the DL. Since it's a dupe, I would send it to Dennis, but I'm pretty sure he sent me my first one so I'm pretty sure he has it. If not, Dennis, let me know.

Newest Additions - White Sox Collection

I have randomed them and let's see what we got (unless you peeked at the title.) Sorry if a few are blurry, I didn't realize it when I edited them and I wasn't going to go back, find the cards and take new photos.

White Sox Collection

















The last of my White Sox Collections posts from the card show. Grabbed all of these from dime boxes as well. I really liked the green Peavy and all of the red Turkey Red's.




Be sure to check out my other 2 card blogs as well.


Just like it says, photos of baseball cards. The "Blog" currently sits at over 4900 cards featured and I add more weekly.


This "Blog" has photos of the cards from my PC's. I have all the cards that were featured on this blog over here and will be working on adding all of my cards.




Everything from current to vintage sports pictures, baseball cards and more.
