Plymouth Pickups

Geez, I didn't realize how far behind I was. Yesterday we did the Fort Wayne show. Last weekend we did the South Bend Show and the Saturday before that we did the Plymouth show. Which is what I'm showing today. I need to get my crap together.

First off, Jeremy who is a long time friend in the show scene. We met him at the very first show I set up at. His work schedule hasn't allowed him to do very many anymore but he popped into the show that Saturday. He brought me this card, I was pretty sure I had it but I try to always check if I have the time and I didn't. I had another variation of it. He just said I could have it.

I went through Corey's $1 box who was set up next to us. I wasn't planning on buying anything but the end of the shows always get a little slow and I get bored. I found all of these in there. Always like getting a new Scotty Pods and I liked Burger when he was here so I usually grab his Sox cards as well. The bottom 3, I have a bunch from that set so I grabbed a few that I didn't have.

• Scott Podsednik - 35 cards
• Jake Burger - 44 cards
• Jonathan Stiever - 10 cards
• Lance Lynn - 18 cards
• Hoyt Wilhelm - 15 cards

I also picked up another Cronenworth and Zimmerman that I didn't have. I wasn't sure about the Zimmy but I didn't have the sparkle.

• Jake Cronenworth - 86 cards
• Ryan Zimmerman - 403 cards

He also had this 1973 Topps mixed in with all that new stuff and I happen to need it for my set. 

• 1973 Topps - 83% complete

All of the above and the card on the right below all came from the $1 box. How much did he charge me for all that. $3. I'm telling you, it pays to make friends at these shows.

Corey said he had the card below in his showcase so I had to look, then I also saw the other card above. I love the Black Chrome Sox cards with black being one of our team colors. They look so great so I couldn't turn that card down.

• Andrew Vaughn - 112 cards (my 2nd auto)

While I was going through his $1 box, he told me he had a Konerko auto. I was really hoping it was one I already had so I wouldn't have to buy it but it wasn't. This jersey/auto is also seriel #'d /25. The price tag on this card was $25 and the Vaughn auto was $10. He gave them both to me for $25. So much for not spending any money at this show.

• Paul Konerko - 783 cards (6 autographs)

I don't do so good at not spending at card shows.

Hump Day Auto

Another single card today, but it's an autograph.

I picked up this Koger autograph for $2.49 shipped. It is my 6th card of him and oddly enough, it is my 5th autograph. I'm wondering if maybe he just doesn't have very many base cards. He may be losing his player collection status considering all my cards are from 2012. I don't think he ever went pro so that is probably why he doesn't have many cards. I usually like to get at least 10 cards before saying a player collection and being as it's been 6 years, we'll see. All his cards will still go to the Michigan collection if that does happen.

2014 Topps Finest

2014 Topps Strata

2014 Upper Deck SP Authentic

2015 Panini Michigan Wolverines Collegiate

These 5 are actually a part of my January pick-ups but I didn't get to posting them before the end of the month.

2008 Sage HIT Autographs ($1.25)

2008 Upper Deck Draft Editions ($.43)

2008 Playoff Prestige Picks Blue ($.55) 

2008 Topps Rookie Progression ($.36)

 These 4 cards of Mike Hart put that collection at 34 cards. Including the top card above, out of all the cards, half of them are autographs.

2012 Press Pass Fanfare Gold ($1.45)

2012 Press Pass Signings ($1.23)

 These 2 autographs of Kevin Koger make 4 autos out of the 5 cards in his collection.

2014 Upper Deck SP Authentic Canvas Collection ($.75)

2014 Leaf Draft ($.45)

These 2 cards of Taylor Lewan put that collection at 10 cards. I like grabbing his cards because I was within a few feet of him at a Fan Fest and he was a monster of a man. He stood up and walked past me and I was in shock at how huge he was.

2014-15 Upper Deck SPx ($.50)

 This card puts my McGary Collection at 3 cards now. It's progressing slowly but surely. At least 2 of the 3 are in a Michigan uniform.

1999 Press Pass Authentics Autographs ($.1.44)

2011-12 Fleer Retro 1998-99 Autographics Design Auto ($2.69)

I also picked up these 2 cards for the Michigan collection, I had a little money left after adding the cards to my cart. I grabbed the first one because it was cheap, then I decided to look and see what I could get for the total amount I had left instead of cheap and saw the Cazzie Russell and I had to pick that one up.

2014 Topps Finest Refractor ($.32)
