Vintage additions (1977-1974)

*For those new to the blog, all purchases were made on Ebay (unless otherwise said) and all were under $.50/shipped.

Last post you saw the vintage from 1978-1980. Tonight, we'll finish the vintage purchases from the last couple of weeks.

This 1977 Topps brings me to 5.3% (35 of 660).

Not much to say about this card that hasn't been said before. You gotta love the Expos colors.

These 2 1976 Topps put me at 21.52% completed (142 of 660).

Not a huge fan of this set and these 2 cards of the Braves show why. I think the set would be pretty cool if they had used the team colors on the cards instead of the oddball colors that they do. I do like the logo for second base though.

These 4 1975 Topps put me at 3.03% completed (20 of 660).

My feelings about the 1975 set are pretty much the same as the 1976 set, should have used the team colors and the set would have been better.

These 4 1974 Topps put me at 11.36% (75 of 660).

I don't mind the 1974 Topps set, at least I do more than the previous 2. I do wish more vintage sets would have used team logos on the front of cards.

That's all of my vintage pick ups from the last couple of weeks. My next posts will do with the player pick-ups. I also got confirmation that my Just Commons shipment got mailed today so hopefully I'll have that by the end of the week.

Vintage additions (1980-1978)

*For those new to the blog, all purchases were made on Ebay (unless otherwise said) and all were under $.50/shipped.

Last post we saw my White Sox additions, today, we'll check out the vintage pick-ups. As usual, we'll start with the kids and work our way to the old folks.

 

 

 

These 5 1980 Topps bring that set to a completion of 12.12% (92 cards of 726)

I love getting 1980's cards because I started collecting in 1981 but there were still plenty of these around at the time so I had quite a few.

This 1979 Topps bring that set to a completion of 8.26% (60 cards of 726)

Only 1 of the 1979 Topps this time, but as you can see, I have 60 cards from this set so I must usually pick them up at a decent pace.

 

 

These 5 1978 Topps bring that set to a completion of 11.16% (81 cards of 726)

I always liked this set, I think it's the cursive team name that attracts me to it. I got a card up there that looks like my dad (I've never noticed that before) and also a Topps All-Time rookie so you know he had to of had a great career (spoken with sarcasm).

That's 1 card over half of the vintage cards I've gotten in the last couple of weeks so you'll have to check out the rest in the next post.

Ebay–Tom Seaver Collection

These are new additions to the Tom Seaver Collection.

1992 Kellog’s Corn Flakes 3D Sportflicts ($.99)

You gotta love these cereal cards.  I bought a bunch for the White Sox collection as well that you’ll see soon.

  

All 3 of these are from the 1981 Topps Scratch-offs.  All 3 are different and all 3 cost me $.99 each.  They aren’t cards, but they aren’t things you see everyday.  I don’t like that they are oversized because I can’t display my oversized stuff yet.
