This weekends cards

Kevin and I set up at the South Bend show yesterday. While I didn't buy anything, and I didn't sort anything for the LCS on Friday, I still came home with a few cards. Kevin bought a collection from another LCS who doesn't like to deal in the lower end stuff so when he gets in a collection, he sells it to us and he grabbed some for me while going through it, he gave them to me when I went to his house to load up for the show.

I'll go in order of teams and tiers.

First we will start with the non PC Sox cards. A couple of Pro Debut cards, I have a couple of each player already, probably Bowman's and also a Camo of Yolber whom I now have 4 cards of. Even though Burger is no longer with the Sox, I liked him and continue to enjoy getting cards of his, this is my 34th of him. I might have a little more of the last guy, this 2023 Pristine of Frank Thomas gives me 1018 of him.

These 2 cards of Hunter go to the Michigan collection as I don't PC him. They are my 3rd and 4th card of him though, all in the Maize and Blue.

Next up are my Tier 2 - Michigan players

Kevin pulled another of Jett Howard, which is only my 2nd one him and a new PC is started with my first of Caleb Houstan. When he was hot, he hit everything but he wasn't consistently game in and game out. I thought he could use at least another year of college ball but what do I know.

There were some autos and relics mixed in there as well which is where this one came from. It's my 3rd card of Hawkins and my 1st autograph. Have I mentioned how much I hate when they do that to the helmets. It's not a logo, it's not the block M, why do they have to do that?

This card I actually picked up at the card show in Mishawaka last month. Kevin and I bought a stack of cards from a guy at half off and when I took out the cards that I wanted, I forgot this one and he just found it and gave it back. I ended up not having to pay for it anyways. It's the blue parallel and is numbered to /99. It is my 42nd card of Jordan.

Next up the Tier 2.

He also gave me 3 more of Tim Anderson. You'll see more of those A&G X cards today. Love the reminder of the Field of Dreams walk off win. These 3 give me 220 cards of Mr. Anderson.

Another one of the A&G X of Eloy and another Camo Bowman, this one of Andrew Vaughn. It's my 195th of Eloy (almost at the next milestone) and my 89th of Vaughn.

I even got a couple of Tier 1 players. The Red parallel from the 2006 Turkey Red set and the last of the A&G X's of Paul Konerko. It is my 133rd of Aparicio and my 759th card of PK.

Some nice addition to add for not paying a dime for any of it.

Lotsa Sox

Since we did a team post yesterday, we might as well do the other team I collect. I have a bunch of pics so I'm just going to jam them in here.

These were the only 2 that I got from Sportlots. The card on the left is a normal sized card, the right is a Fleer stamp of LaMarr Hoyt.

All of the above came from Sluggo in various forms. The top pic was in those boxes and boxes of 90's stuff that I went through. Everything else was just picked up here and there while going through his cards. Those are my first cards of Yermin Mercedes.

Remember when I said we opened a bunch of packs at Sluggos? That's where all of the above came from including my first card of our closer in that last scan.

Speaking of packs, these 3 came from the blaster of update that my daughter's girlfriend gave me on Thanksgiving.

The last 3 scans came from Fred. I would have guessed I had a few of the top scan but I didn't. I even thought I have the parallel of Rockin' Robin but nope. With the out of the blue 90's and 00's cards, I'm guessing that Fred is still going through his old collection and just brings me the White Sox. I can't complain because he has given me quite a few that I needed.

These last 3 came from the card show in Kalamazoo awhile ago. The top left is numbered to /50. The Abreu on the right is a SP Image variation and the Crochet is the red version of Stadium Club.

I picked this up at the Mishawaka show we set up at. This is my first Topps Now but I loved when they did this at that game so to see a card with it was a must have.

I picked this up at the LCS, it's supposed to look all tore up apparently because it's not in bad shape like it looks. I only paid a few bucks for a dual relic so I couldn't say no to that.

I picked up this relic of Abreu that's numbered to /99 at the Plymouth card show that we set up at. Again, I only paid a few bucks, $4 at the most for it.

Lastly, I picked up these relics, die cut and autograph at the Baseball Card Exchange. And again, I only paid a few bucks a piece for them.

As you can see, I added quite a few non PC Sox cards since September when I posted about the collection last. How about some stats for this post.

The White Sox Collection is now up to 9,418 cards.

The relics give me 258 in all of my collections.

The autograph gives me 398 in all of my collections.

Players over 100 cards in this post = Robin Ventura (142 cards), Jose Abreu (165 cards), Magglio Ordonez (173 cards)
