Random PC Cards

It's been a slow week over here, I've got some Ebay winnings coming but with the mail shut down for a couple of days and such, I just haven't gotten much in the mail so I figured I'd take the time for a random post. I'm also thinking if I ever get finished putting my cards on the Trading Card Database, I believe they have a random button and these posts might get easier.

It was just coincidence that Ty Law came up a day after he was announced as part of the 2019 Hall of Fame class, a pretty cool coincidence, but still a coincidence. 

I got to plug 2 guys that send me cards even when they know I have no cards to send back, and I even got to plug both of Dennis' blogs. In also doing this post, I decided to go back and do my random card posts on Twitter, when I remember that is.

Ebay purchases

I had a white envelope kind of day. Been purchasing Sox cards on ebay for cheap. Been going through the free shipping listings which explains the white enveloped packages. I expected them so no big deal. If I had paid $2 or $3 to ship, then I would expect a bubble mailer. None of these cards were damaged during shipping and I got them real cheap.

We are going through a rough patch here at home, so I can’t spend much on cards right now. That would be the reason for lack of posts as well, been working a lot of overtime until we can get caught up. I still had some money in my paypal so I figured I’d pick up some cards for my collections. I haven’t bought packs in quite a while and have been itching too so let’s home this curbs that appetite.

Start with a couple vintage.

Bob Spence – 1971 Topps & Rich Morales – 1971 Topps

Alexei Ramirez – 2010 Topps Refractor

Paul Konerko – 2010 Bowman Chrome Refractor

Mark Buehrle – 2011 Bowman Blue #’d 481/500

Jason Stumm – 2000 Team Best Autograph

I know, a nobody, but I got it pretty cheap, I promise.

Paul Konerko – 1995 Upper Deck minors autographed.

Have no idea if it was really autographed by Paulie or not, haven’t taken the time to check yet. The seller said it was autographed in a minor league game. But for the price, I figured what the hell.

It wasn’t very impressive I know, there are other cards I purchased that I’m still waiting on but that’s what came today. It was my first venture on to ebay to see what I could add to my White Sox and Paul Konerko collection, cheaply. Total price you ask, $6.87/shipped. Here’s how it broke down.

1. Bob Spence – 1971 Topps – $.99
2. Rich Morales – 1971 Topps – $.99
3. Alexei Ramirez – 2010 Topps Refractor – $1.00
4. Paul Konerko – 2010 Topps Refractor – $1.04
5. Mark Buehrle – 2011 Bowman Blue #’d 481/500 – $.99
6. Jason Stumm – 2000 Team Best autograph – $.33
7. Paul Konerko – 1995 UD Minors auto – $1.53

7 cards for an average of $.98/card shipped. Not too shabby. 2 vintage, 2 refractor, 1 numbered parallel, and 2 autos. 7 cards received and 7 more to come.
