2 Phillies for 2 Collections

Even though I said in the title I got 2 cards, technically, I got 3 but I only ordered the 2 Phillies cards. They also came from 2 different sellers.

I picked up this 2017 Topps insert of "Lefty" for a quarter/shipped. It's a nice full color shot of Steve Carlton. It is my 92nd card of his for that player collection.

As you can see, the 2nd Phillies card goes to the vintage collection. I picked up this 1978 card for $.16/shipped.  It is my 152nd card for that set.

Along with that last vintage pick-up came this card as a throw in and it goes right into the same collection. A freebie, hells yeah, I'll take it. It's my 70th card of the 1981 Fleer set.

Random PC Cards

It's been a little busier of a week since it's getting nicer out. I've been trying to get our and walk off some of this, we'll call it, winter weight. It has slowed me down on getting pictures of my PC cards posted on my other blog but I did still get it up to 7,380 cards finished.

I've been watching the White Sox spring training games and we haven't actually looked that bad. Maybe this will be a good year just because the expectations are so low so it won't be as frustrating as the last few years. I liked Chris Sale and Adam Eaton so it sucks that they are gone but I understand the situation. At least with Sale, I don't know that Eaton was really costing us that much but that is the business. I do like the Tim Anderson deal, he impressed me last year, let's just hope he doesn't have a sophomore slump.

I decided to take a little time and pump out one of these random cards posts. I like doing them but they can get time consuming. I random all the cards that I have pics for and then go through each one until all the categories are filled. I usually end up cheating on the Vintage from the 1950's and end up just randoming them by themselves because I don't have many, sometimes the 1960's to. The 1980's, White Sox and the player collections go pretty quick.

Vacation Pick-Ups #2–1970’s

I promised you some vintage today so we’ll pump out this post sponsored by the 1970’s.

I found one card from the 1977 set that I needed.  I believe this was one of the $.20 cards.

I already completed my 1975 Topps set but since this isn’t technically part of the team set, I didn’t have it yet.  Dick Allen is cool enough, but it has Johnny Bench too.  Makes that card that much sweeter.

2 of 3 of these 1972’s will go towards the team set.  But again, another White Sox card with Norm Cash and Reggie Jackson on it.  Not to mention the White Sox player is Bill Melton, whom I’ve considered starting a player collection of just because I like him on the pre and post game shows before and after the Chicago White Sox games.

5 more 1971 cards for the team set.  Including a Wilbur Wood and the team card.  That brings that team set down to needing 11 cards which isn’t a lot when it comes to the team sets in the 1970’s.  Except almost half of those are short prints, yikes.

I even picked up one 1970 card which seem to be somewhat hard for me to come by.  I just don’t run into that many of them.

Tomorrow, we’ll start with the 1960’s, only I have to divide it up into 2 posts because I have that many of them.  And yes, I’ll have a post for the 1950’s too.  Stay Tuned.

Card Show Vintage #5

I told in the previous posts that I found a quarter box with some vintage, here are some of my finds. Working from the newest to the oldest.

3 1972’s.  2 more towards the team set and another leaders card with Wilbur Wood.  Have I mentioned that I love vintage?
