Lots of Cal

It was a slow day at work and I've been tired most of the evening, trying to catch up on some TV. Today's post is another icon. 

I picked up a bunch of Cal that I figured I already had with that top row. Then we get into the other stuff, the next 5 are all smaller sets and the bottom right is the Gold Winners parallel.

More oddballs with the Fleer mini sets, some O-Pee-Chee and another Classic.

More of the same but the Donruss Canadian version is represented this time. I was surprised I didn't have the 1991 Bowman.

I also grabbed some more modern card of Cal, some with logos, some without.

Here's the horizontals as well. The middle 2 also go to the Vintage collection. Another Gold Winners on the bottom as well.

We don't sweat the small stuff either. Here's the smaller versions of cards and stickers that I also picked up.

All of the above cards came from my latest Sportlots shipment.

You know Dennis is going to have some Ripken's for me as well.

These 10 all came from Dennis at Too Many Verlanders in his annual Christmas package.

Lastly, I picked up this one in a dollar box at the card show this past weekend. I picked up enough and the dealer gave me a discount so it equaled out to only $.78.

These 54 cards give me 720 cards which puts the Ripken 1 card more than the Konerko collection for 1st place. I figured that would happen once I got to picking up Ripken's on Sportlots.

Mets win!

Hey, I finally had a Saturday off so I'm getting to post. I would have done it sooner but I had to take my 16 year old out for a drive. He has to get his time in so he can get his license. I'm posting out of a celebration that I survived. I kid, he wasn't that bad. He's actually over-cautious where as the 2 daughters I taught were the opposite and actually scared the crap out of me more than once. Either way, I survived to post another day.

I can't believe that both LCS's are down to game 7 considering the way they both started. I haven't watched any, I generally don't unless my Sox are playing but I may watch the WS when it starts.

The following cards come from a year back when I was a kid and specifically remember watching the World Series. It was the Mets and Red Sox and back then, I was a Mets fan so I remember the game 6 error by Bill Buckner. I remember watching the games on my small TV in my bedroom.

Jeff sent me these 5 cards from 1986 Donruss which is one of the sets I'm closing in on finishing. As a matter of fact, these 5 pushed it over 75% complete with 498 cards.

He also sent these 16 of the Fleer set. I'm a lot less further along on that set as these only give me 123 cards which is just under 19% completed. You'll notice the Bill Buckner up there, if he only knew what was coming at the end of the year. I felt bad for him, if I remember, he wasn't treated well by Boston fans for many years after that.

In the Topps section, you get the World Series winner with that Hernandez. Although he didn't do well until Game 7. Also a Rod Carew who is a Hall of Famer. 

All the above cards came from Jeff and as I said before, 2x3 Heroes sent me a huge package so you'll continue to see his name in these posts for a little while.

I also picked up this nice stack from baseballcardstore.ca at a dime a piece. I think it averaged $.14/each when I added the shipping.

These 37 cards put that set at 739 cards which is good for just over 93% completed.

I guess I need to get working on that Fleer set.
