Welcome

This blog is about sports cards. I tend to only purchase cheap items so don't come hear expecting to see big money cards. My teams collections are Chicago White Sox and Michigan Wolverines. I also have a bunch of player collections.

Vintage Collection

I picked up a bunch of vintage collection cards about a month ago.  What you won’t see here is I grabbed about 33 cards from 1980 Topps.  A seller posted a bunch of cards from the Texas Rangers and the Oakland A's, he started them at a penny and I figured I wouldn’t win but maybe 5 or 6.  Wrong!  Like I said, I won 33 of them and the majority of those were between $.40 and $.54 so it cost me quite a bit at one shot, which I don’t like to do.  Either way, I didn’t feel like posting every card of those, so I’m not.  I will post the other winnings though.

They are listed in the order that I received them.

Marty Keough

1964 Topps Marty Keough

A nice quarter box find, only grabbed it for $.25

Bobby LockeTony Cloninger

1968 Topps Bobby Locke and Tony Cloninger

I grabbed these 2 1968’s in a lot of 2 for $.55 total, so essentially, 2 more quarter box finds.

Darrel Chaney [Good to VG‑EX]

1977 Topps Darrel Chaney

I remember the lower case a’s they use on their hats.  I grabbed this one for $.46

Reggie Jackson

1985 Topps Reggie Jackson

I know, it’s only a 1985 Topps, but it’s Mr. October.  I think it’s still a nice pick up, even at $.49.

Dick SchofieldKen Suarez [Good to VG‑EX]

1969 Topps Dick Schofield and Ken Suarez

I grabbed these 2 in a lot and I grabbed them both for $.90, which is equal to $.45/each.

Bucky Dent

1982 Topps Bucky Dent (in Action)

I always liked the 1982 Topps set for sentimental reason but I thought these in action cards were the coolest when I was a kid.  I picked this one up for $.47.  I probably overpaid because it’s a New York Yankees card.

Allan Anderson

1987 Donruss Allan Anderson

I know, nothing too exciting, but I nabbed it for $.17

Otto Velez [Good to VG‑EX]

1979 Topps Otto Velez

I got this one at the awesome price of $.15.  The cheapest COMC has it for is $.99 so I’d say it was a good deal.

Cheaper Than Stamps #22

This is a series where I show off cards I need for my PC’s that I pick up on Ebay for cheaper than a stamp.  My maximum I spend on these cards is actually $.30 so I get them quite a bit cheaper than a stamp.

1974topps

1974 Topps – Dave Roberts #177, Ron Schueler #544, Sonny Siebert #548

I picked up these 3 for just over $.20 a piece.  I don’t get too many cards from 1974 that comes up so these were nice to add.

1971topps

1971 Topps – Greg Garrett #377, Bob Humpreys #236, Mike Corkins #179, Buck Martinez #163, Gary Ross #153, Mack Jones #142

I picked these all up as 1 lot, I won it for $1.04.  Other than the 1973 Topps set, which I’ve been going after for a lot longer than this collection, the 1971 Topps set has the highest amount of cards in the 1970’s with 53.  That’s only good for 7% of the set, but it’s a start.

1970topps

1970 Topps – Tom Burgmeier #108

This shouldn’t actually be in these posts because I paid more than a stamp for it.  Mainly because when I search cards, I search for free shipping and this came up because somehow, my free shipping button got unclicked.  I didn’t realize it had $.50 shipping on it till I bid.  Ebay tricked me, bastards.

1968topps

1969 Topps – Ken Suarez #19, Jesus Alou #22

I picked up both of these 1969 cards for $.29 each.  I certainly don’t mind dropping that for commons from the 1960’s.

That’s it for the vintage collection this round.  I’ll be going back to the player collections.
