Topps and Fleer love

The great random on the internet came up with another vintage post. Of course, they are all also from 2x3 Heroes. I told you it was a huge package.

Don't forget that all these photos are from TCDB because my laptop lost all my scans and I wasn't going to dig everything back up.

I don't know what it is about 80's Fleer but I like it. Maybe because they were harder to find than Topps when I first started collecting, I'm not really sure but I love it. 1981 Fleer didn't do much for me but I love 1982-1987. These 8 cards put the 1982 set at 82 cards so a long ways to go.

What? 2 Pete Falcones in one post! I also really the 80's Topps sets so maybe my love for the 80's in just childhood memories. I don't really have that love for Donruss (other than 1981) in that era though so who knows. I thought the In Action subset is the greatest thing ever when these came out which put me at about 8 or 9 years old. These 13 cards put that set at 135 cards.

More 80's "Vintage"

Dodgers took game 1. If I had to pick a team I'd want to win, it would probably be the Rays. Just because they are in the AL East and it would rub the Red Sox and Yankees wrong. But either way, I don't mind who wins. I work with a Dodger's fan so if they won, I'd be okay with that. 

Here we go with another 80's vintage post. Good thing Jeff sent a lot.

A couple of pretty good pitcher's in that top row. I didn't mind the 1982 Donruss set but some reason, I don't like this one with the gloves. It's pretty much the same but the glove just doesn't sit right with me. Not sure why. Jeff sent me these 10 cards to give me 56 cards for the set.

I think I might have bought this full set at a card show back in the day. I vaguely remember doing so but I have no idea if it's true or not. I was never into set collecting so I'm sure I got a good deal and I probably broke it up. As you can see above, Jeff dropped a pretty good number on my current attempt at it. These 37 cards put that set at 113 cards.

Jeff hit all 3 major sets with these 47 from the Topps set. Seeing all these Topps cards from the 80's is bringing back so many memories. I don't think I liked this set when it first came out but it grew on me. I was a fan of the 1982 set and this was vastly different. I wasn't so sure about the headshots but like I said, it grew on me. Enough so that when they did it again in 1984, I liked it. I also remember that Willie McGee rookie being a hot commodity. These boosted the set to 185 cards.

New Additions - Vintage Collection, 1986

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

I know, I've been MIA again, but it took awhile to sort through all the cards I've gotten in the last month or so. Not only the Ebay stuff but also I got an awesome package from Dennis over at "Too Many Verlanders" and my favorite "Too Many Manninghams", although you'll see a lot of that great stuff on the TMM blog whenever I get that post together. I also received 2 huge packages of mainly White Sox cards from Jeff over at "2 x 3 Heroes" as well and both guys also sent a bunch of vintage.

I decided to post everything together on their respected collection posts. Although I didn't take pics of all the Sox cards because there was way too many cards. It took me long enough with everything as it was. I think I'll randomize the posts as well so let's see who's up first. The banner above the cards tells where the cards came from.

So Jeff added 19 to the 1986 cards of the Vintage Collection while I picked up 3 on Ebay.

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 and My Baseball Card Obsession.
