New Additions - White Sox Collection

*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 a package from Bru over at Remember the Astrodome so you'll see assorted stuff from him as well. He was originally going to hook me up with some 1984 Topps (which he did) but he ended up sending a bunch more vintage as well as some White Sox needs. I'll be randomizing the posts like I did the last bunch.

Picked up 10 more White Sox cards that are new to my White Sox Collection off of Ebay. Always happy to pull vintage White Sox for less than $.50, doesn't happen to often but it does happen. The 1988 Fleer cards are not a surprise, that's usually what I end up winning on the bay of E. Technically the Ray Durham and Adam Dunn cards are numbered although both are numbered pretty high. I still like getting the colored parallels of the modern cards, those are another thing I only pick up cheap every so often.

Tomorrow is the last post of this round of pick-ups and all those White Sox cards will all be from Bru over at Remember the Astrodome.

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 (now with over 2300 cards) and My Baseball Card Obsession (now with over 2500 cards and almost 900 different card labels).

White Sox collection additions

Here's this past weeks pick-ups, we'll start with my White Sox collection additions.

Jose Abreu - 2014 Topps Update the Future is Now

Adrian Nieto - 2014 Topps Update

Gordon Beckham - 2014 Topps Gold

Josh Phegley - 2013 Bowman Chrome Refractor

Don Gutteridge - 1970 Topps

Some decent new cards, I don't have a lot of 2014 White Sox cards so it was nice to pick those up but it was even nicer to grab a vintage White Sox on the cheap. I don't have many (this may be my first) of the Rookie of the Year either so that I was happy to get.

I did make a huge purchase on Just Commons so I will have lots to post when it comes in, of course, that doesn't mean I'll post them quickly.

Cheaper Than Stamps #58

Yesterday, we finished with the player collections.  Today we start (and finish) with the White Sox team set pick-ups.  From newest to oldest.

2014 Topps – Alexei Ramirez, Dayan Viciedo, Matt Lindstrom, Hector Santiago, Josh Phegley, Jeff Keppinger, Jose Quintana, Erik Johnson and Andre Rienzo

This is the whole series I team set, minus the Chris Sale because it goes to the Chris Sale collection and now I need to pick one up for the team collection.  I grabbed this whole lot for $2.28 for 10 cards which equals out to $.23 a card so it was still under budget.

Dayan Viciedo – 2013 Topps

Um, I have no record of purchasing this card.  I went all the way back to November of last year and couldn’t find it.  I promise that I got it for under $.29.

Somehow, I didn’t win and other newer cards so let’s get to the vintage portion of todays post.

1972 Topps – Wilbur Wood

I already had one of these in the Wilbur Wood collection so I grabbed this copy to go in the White Sox collection.  I actually picked up a 3 card lot of 1972 cards so the other 2 go to the Vintage collection.  I paid $.79 for the lot, which equals to $.26 each.

John Buzhardt – 1966 Topps

I grabbed this card for $.30.  It helps with that team set but I still need a bunch of cards, so it didn’t help much.  I’m not going to turn down a 60’s card for under the cost of a stamp though.

Eddie Fisher – 1964 Topps

Ditto with this card, I still need a bunch for this years team but again, a 60’s card for $.29.  You can’t really beat that, it’s essentially a quarter box find.

That completes all the cards I got for the White Sox collection.  Come back tomorrow as we start with the Vintage collection pick-ups.
