80's Flashback

My first non-player collection post of the month.

As you know, Dennis of "Too Many Verlanders" sent me a package with lots of goodies in it and that included the 80's cards above that were all new to me. The set that I'm closest to completing would be the Bill Almon, '86 Donruss set. That card puts me at 493 cards which is just under 75% completed.

Speaking of almost completed sets. I needed 9 more of the 1985 Fleer set and they were the higher cards that I couldn't pick up cheap so I splurged and spent more than my minimum. I only paid $.55 for the Rose so that wasn't way over budget but the Ryan ($2.20), Clemens ($5.40) and Puckett ($7.75) were. I probably could have found them cheaper somewhere else but I was already on Sportlots and just wanted to get them.

Last but not least, one lone '85 Topps that also came from Sportlots. Why only one? Because it was the last card I needed to complete the set, again. You may remember, on paper, I thought I had completed this set earlier this year, but during quarantine, I actually went through all my cards and logged them into TCDB and realized I was missing a bunch of cards. Well, not anymore. This final card I needed was only $.18.

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.
