Vintage Sox

Hey, we finally randomed up a non-vintage post. Well, not really. It did come up White Sox so these are for the team collection.

This is the one lone card for the White Sox collection from the Facebook lot. I actually got a bunch but I already had all the others.

I did manage to find a bunch of '77 cards of the Sox from Sportlots though. All of the above were $.18/each. These actually complete the Sox team as far as the individual cards go but I still need a few others that have a Sox player on them.

These would be 2 of them. They were a little more at $.43 and $.50 but still in range. After purchasing them all and logging them into TCDB, I realized I was only 1 more card short of having all the Sox cards from that set. So I'm going to have to go pick it up for next month.

Lotsa Sox

Just a quick post as I waited to long to start this. I was watching the White Sox finally win a game.

Speaking of the Sox, that's what this post is of. It's nice that the random waited until they at least won a game before popping them up.

I picked up all of the above on Sportlots. With all of those 1977 Topps, I'm only 1 card short of the team set so I'll be looking to add that soon.

These 2 came from a free giveaway at "A Penny Sleeve for your Thoughts." I claimed both of these from his Free Stuff Fridays awhile back.

Fuji of "the Chronicles of Fuji" sent these along with the few other cards that I showed earlier in the month. 4 Magglio's give me 148 cards of his.

These cards and the 1 below all came from Dennis of "Too Many Verlanders." The 4 cards of Frank Thomas (and the 1 from Fuji) gives me 534 cards of his.

Dennis also sent me this autograph. It's my first of his but he only has twenty cards according to TCDB so I'm guessing he never got too far. It's still a Sox auto though and that's all that matters.

Thanks to everyone who sent the cards above. I do so love this community.

New Additions - Vintage collection 1976-79

*For those new to the blog, all purchases were made on Ebay (unless otherwise noted) and all were under $.50/shipped.

I'm listing Ebay stuff but also I got an awesome package from Dennis over at "Too Many Verlanders" and my favorite "Too Many Manninghams", although you'll see a lot of that great stuff on the TMM blog whenever I get that post together. I also received 2 huge packages of mainly White Sox cards from Jeff over at "2 x 3 Heroes" as well and both guys also sent a bunch of vintage. I'm also randomizing the posts so let's see what's next.

So Dennis added 4 cards to the Vintage collection, Jeff added 7 cards and I picked up 12 on Ebay.

In case you're interested, the reason I pretty much always post pics of single cards is because of these 2 blogs that I use to store my cards. My Personal Collections and My Baseball Card Obsession.

Cheap Ebay–Vintage style

I went on a little of a splurge on Ebay and picked up a bunch of vintage White Sox cards.  I’d like to complete a few of the team sets before the end of the year.

1976 Topps Traded – Jim Spencer

Cost = $.16/shipped

You can’t pass up vintage of your own team for $.16 cents can you?  I think that’s in the bible or something.
