5 in a row

I've been knocking out the posts this week. Here I thought next week I would be knocking them out since I'm having surgery on Monday and will be home for the next 2 weeks. This will be my 5th day in a row posting. I must be sick.

As you can tell from above, today's is the 1980 Topps set. These also all came from the Facebook purchase that Dennis hooked me up with. Really like the Quisenberry rookie and the Astros jerseys (even if everybody is hating on them these days.) You also get the Niekro brothers in a post.

This is just a sampling of the 122 cards that I received for this set. It now has 311 cards for just under 43% complete.

Vintage boost

The Sox have been a buzzsaw the last week or so, knocking everything out of the parks. I rarely watch games live (usually record them) but I'm watching today's live, so of course, they are losing. It's only 2-1 in the 8th so they still have a shot but I figured I could blog and watch the end of the game.

This is just a sample of the 89 cards I got in that Facebook purchase via Dennis. As I stated before, I just grabbed names that I knew really well. That boosts that set to 231 cards which is good for 35% completed. Pretty good cards for an average of $.06/card.

Vintage, Sox and Player, oh my!

I've had a busy couple of days so I have a few cards to show. Thursday and Friday I spent at what will be my new job when my current job decides to release me and then yesterday we had a wedding out of town and didn't get back till late so there you go. I do have 3 envelopes to get caught up on, including the rest of the cards from the post a few days ago.

Both of these Astros vintage cards came from one seller and he would be the one that split my purchase between 2 shipments. As long as I get everything, I'm cool with that. I picked up both cards for $.23/shipped/each. The 1979 Andujar is my 331st from that set.

I picked this up as a single card from a seller I get stuff from all the time so it's rare to only get 1 card but it must have been a slow week from winning stuff. I picked up this Expos card for $.16/shipped. This card along with the 1977 above it makes 117 cards for that set.

The 3 vintage cards above make 293 cards picked up for the Vintage Collection so far this year.

I picked up this Frank Thomas from 2003 for $.25/shipped. I needed it for the team set but I'm still 11 cards short for it. This card is my 216th card picked up for the White Sox collection so far this year.

This picture doesn't do the shininess of this card justice. I picked up this Devin Funchess from 2015 Donruss (Panini) for $.21/shipped. This is my 21st card of the Funchess collection and the 4th card of his picked up this year.

Weekend Arrivals

I slacked and didn't post what I received Friday and Saturday so your going to get a ton of cards on today's post so I can catch up. I had to work yesterday and just was in kind of a blah mood last night so I got lazy. I had planned on posting Friday's cards on Friday and Saturday's cards on Saturday so today I could post the Christmas gift I received but now it's all getting thrown into one post.

Friday came with 3 envelopes, 1 of those you'll see later in this post because it was the Christmas gift.

1996 Score Dugout Collection Series 2

I added another to the Barry Larkin collection, I now have 103 cards of the former Wolverines. Picked this one up for $.15/shipped.

I also got another 80's card for the Vintage Collection. I picked up this 1985 Donruss for $.17/shipped. It's only my 34th card from that set so it's only at 5% completed.

Yesterday, I received a bunch of cards from 1 seller. He had listed a ton of stuff for my Vintage Collection. Obviously, since I won them for a quarter or less, they are all 80's but they are still needed.

I picked up one for the 1987 Donruss set. Grabbed this one for $.20/shipped. This is my 226th card in that set which puts it at just under 35% completed.

I picked this one up for the 1986 Donruss set. It is my 469th card of that set which put it at just over 71% completed. I picked this one for a dime.

I picked this one up for the 1985 Fleer set. It is my 242nd card of that set which puts it at 37% completed. I picked this one up for $.12/shipped.

 

I also got these 4 cards for the 1984 Topps set. These cards put that set at 260 cards which is around 33% completed. I picked them up for $.22/shipped, $.06/shipped and both the bottom cards at $.16/shipped each.

I got these 2 cards for the 1981 Topps set. Those cards put that set at 544 cards which is good for 75% completed. I picked up the first card for a quarter/shipped and the 2nd for $.20/shipped.

This was the bulk of the package as I managed to grab 8 cards from the 1981 Fleer set. I'm not sure how I ended up with 2 cards for each team represented as I purchased them as singles but it happened. I grabbed the 2 Orioles cards for $.25/shipped and $.12/shipped. The 2 Dodgers cards for $.12/shipped each. The 2 Astros cards for $.22/shipped and $.25/shipped. Finally, the 2 Royals cards for $.23/shipped and $.12/shipped. These cards put that set at 57 cards and only 9% completed.

That's all for yesterday's cards. I think since this post is so big that I'm going to go ahead and make the Christmas gift a whole other post. I'm going to go ahead and get it together today but post it one day next week when I don't receive any cards in the mail.
