Once I get that package from Sportlots, I have a couple of trade packages to send out so if you're waiting on me, they'll be coming (hopefully) soon.
I figured it's as good day as any to throw up a random post. It's been awhile (mid-October).
Tier 1 Collections
(1576 cards, up 357 cards from last random post)
Collections - Luis Aparicio, White Sox
Card - 1970 Kellogg's
Player - Luis Aparicio
Team - Chicago White Sox
Acquired - Puchased
Price - Unknown
From - Flea Market, North Carolina
When - March, 2013
I went to a flea market while visiting my cousin in NC and bought a ton of Sox vintage but by the time I got home to log everything, I couldn't remember what I paid for everything.
Tier 2 Collections
(1556 cards, up 116 cards since last random post)
Collections - Carlton Fisk, White Sox
Card - 2019 Topps Allen & Ginter
Player - Carlton Fisk
Team - Chicago White Sox
Acquired - Purchased
Price - $.18
From - Sportlots
When - August, 2020
Nice looking card but those are probably my least favorite jerseys of theirs. I don't mind the hat but the collars are just weird.
Tier 2 Michigan Players
(461 cards, up 16 cards from last random post)
Collection - Tim Hardaway Jr.
Card - 2017-18 Panini National Treasures Treasured Threads
Player - Tim Hardaway Jr.
Team - New York Knicks

This photo is actually mine as I put it on TCDB.
Tier 3 Collections
(1320 cards, up 91 cards since last post)
Collection - Cal Ripken Jr.
Card - 2001 Fleer Cal Ripken Jr Highlights Box Set
Player - Cal Ripken Jr.
Team - Baltimore Orioles
Acquired - Trade
From - Too Many Verlanders
When - April, 2018
I got this whole set from Dennis. Part of the reason my Ripken cards are so high is because I have a couple box sets of just his cards.
Michigan Collection
(692 cards, up 42 cards from last random post)
Collection - Michigan
Card - 1991 Pacific
Player - Jarrod Bunch
Team - Michigan Wolverines
Acquired - Trade
From - Too Many Verlanders
When - June, 2020
I really like these older Michigan cards as they are players that I don't really remember watching. Back in 1991 I was watching a ton of basketball and hardly any football. This is actually about the time I became a Michigan fan.
White Sox Collection
(8435 cards, up 459 cards from last random post)
Collections - Mark Buehrle, White Sox
Card - 2011 Bowman
Player - Mark Buehrle
Team - Chicago White Sox
Acquired - Unknown
Price - Unknown
From - Unknown
When - Unknown
I started buying cards again so I assume this probably came from a Ebay as a single or a lot but it was before I kept track of when and where everything came from and I must not have made a note of it on the blog.
Team Collection
(152 cards, up 7 cards from last random post)
Collections - Team, Vintage
Card - 1980 Topps
Player - Jim Fregosi
Team - California Angels
Acquired - Unknown
Price - Unknown
From - Unknown
When - Unknown
Same goes for this, I probably picked it up before I started keeping track. I really wish they would bring back team cards. I need to pick more of these up.
Vintage Collection - 1950's
(72 cards)
Collections - White Sox, Vintage
Card - 1958 Topps
Player - Jim Landis
Team - Chicago White Sox
Acquired - Trade
From - 2x3 Heroes
When - March, 2016
I would hazard a guess that most of my 50's vintage collection are probably Sox cards. I went and looked, 35 Sox cards, 37 everybody else so I was wrong. Only about half are Sox cards.
Vintage Collection - 1960's
(308, up 2 cards since last random post)
Collection - Vintage
Card - 1966 Topps
Player - Billy Herman
Team - Boston Red Sox
Acquired - Purchased
Price - Unknown
From - Ebay
When - June, 2015
The 1966 set is the set I was most familiar with from the 60's back when I was a kid. I couldn't tell you why as this set was 7 years before I was born.
Vintage Collection - 1970's
(2312 cards, up 27 cards since last random post)
Collection - Vintage
Card - 1976 Topps
Player - Johnny Briggs
Team - Minnesota Twins
Acquired - Purchased
Price - $.06
From - Facebook
When - July, 2020
I've never made a list but 1976 is probably my least favorite product from the 70's. That facial hair definitely says 70's though. I don't generally pick up cards on Facebook but Dennis was making a purchase and gave me the link and I picked out a few things and paid him for them. There were a couple of vintage lots.
Vintage Collection - 1980's
(7412 cards, up 208 cards since last random post)
Collection - Vintage
Card - 1985 Fleer
Player - Randy Lerch
Team - San Francisco Giants
Acquired - Purchased
Price - $.01
From - Baseball Card Exchange
When - August, 2018
Baseball Card Exchange is an hour or so from here. My daughter needed drive time in to get her license so I had her drive me there and back. I bought a box that had a bunch of 80's cards which is why it was only a penny. If I remember correctly, the average per card was less than a penny and I only counted the cards that I didn't have in that figure.
Relic
(234 cards, up 9 cards since last random post)
Collection - White Sox
Card - 2006 Topps Allen & Ginter Framed Mini Relics
Player - Jermaine Dye
Team - Chicago White Sox
Acquired - Purchased
Price - $1.98
From - Ebay
When - February, 2012
That is the one thing I miss about buying on Ebay is I did tend to pick up Relics and Autos cheap. I don't really shop for them, they would just show up in my searches and I would pick them up.
Autograph
(372 cards, up 16 cards since last random post)
Collection - White Sox
Card - 2014 Panini Elite Extra Edition Prospects
Player - Carlos Rodon
Team - Chicago White Sox
Acquired - Purchased
Price - $3
From - Ebay
When - September, 2018
See, another Ebay hit. Rodon was let go after last year but we picked him back up and has been pretty good this spring. Not sure if he'll end up in the rotation or the bullpen though as a couple of guys are fighting for that last rotation spot. This is another card that I posted the pic on TCDB.
It was nice to see all the collections have bumped up at least a couple of cards (except the 50's vintage). Part of that is because it's been 5 months since I've done one of these. I didn't realize it had been that long.
*While I have all these cards, the photos (scans) are taken from TCDB unless noted.
