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.

Rare pick-ups for me

I've been sitting around all day, not doing anything and even had the though, I should put out a post while I have time and I never did. Here it is, 10:30 pm and I just remember, oh yeah, I never put out a post. I'm a slacker.

The random decided to stick with the last posts theme of the team collection.




A whole lot of modern cards up there that I needed. I really like the Crochet's because when he comes back from his Tommy John surgery, I think he's going to be a big part of the bullpen next year. These all came from the cards that I was sorting for Sluggo.


These 2 scans come from Fred at work. I like the Gavin Sheets up there because like Crochet, I think he could help us win. I liked him in the little he played last year. I also like that 1992 Kellogg's team decal sticker page on the right side. I thought it was older than that when I got it but it's a 1992. I took it out of the package that carried it through the Frosted Flakes. A couple cards of our former first baseman as well, don't even get me started on that.


I also went through the $3/each or 4 for $10 box at my LCS. I picked up some PC players as well as some cards for the shop, I think it ended up being 16 cards total but these 5 were the only non player PC White Sox cards. A couple of Zack Collins, mainly because they are harder to find (Tek & a color parallel #'d /50), the Mendick because he's been decent for us. The Mags just because I haven't added any relics of his in awhile and the Stiever because it's a red parallel of Stadium Club, also numbered to /50. I also realized as I was typing this paragraph that 4 of those 5 don't play for us anymore. I think Stiever is still there.

I need to do that every so often, just hit the 4 for $10 boxes and grab some autos and relics.

Random PC Cards #67

My Wolverines are kicked out of the tourney. My White Sox have started 0-2 but they are winning so far today so we'll see how that goes. It hasn't been a good week but at least baseball is back. On the plus side, Big Ten network finally aired a Michigan baseball game so I got to watch Michigan beat Michigan State, at least in 1 sport.

I haven't made it anywhere to pick up any Gypsy Queen yet but I do plan on picking up at least a pack or 2. It's not one of my favorite sets so I probably won't pick up much and try to get most of the cards I need for my collection on Ebay. I was going to go and look around on Justcommons today but the website was down so maybe next weekend.

Oh yeah, I crossed 8 years that I've been doing this blog a couple of days ago. It isn't what I started it out to be, you know, high expectations and all but it is what it is now and it's still mine. It's still an accomplishment that I've stuck with it so long. Last year was the first year I didn't hit 100 posts and I was well below that. This year, I'm already almost at half of last years total so I'm definitely doing better. Posting every day I get something helps with that because when I let them build up and do one post, it's more work and I end up not wanting to do it. Either way, yeah me!

I haven't put out much this past week because I've only gotten a few cards in the mail so I figured I throw one of these up here.

Late to the party

I've been a real slacker, I've gotten a few cards in the last couple of weeks and I just never really got around to posting them so you'll get them all tonight. Luckily, I haven't been winning a whole lot lately so there isn't a ton of them. I'm not sure what's going on, there just hasn't been much in my searches to bid on, there was a few more this week so maybe it will start picking up again.


I picked up this Chris Sale for $.20/shipped. It would be my first and only (so far) 2018. This is my 131st card of Sale, my 3rd with the wrong Sox.


I picked up this Larkin for a quarter/shipped. I'm not sure I've heard of this set but it does look familiar so I don't know what to make of that. I'm guessing they only made Embossed for one year. It is my 154th Barry Larkin.


I love picking up these stickers. I remember filling up these books as a kid. I grabbed both of these 1982 Topps stickers for $.25/each/shipped.  They go to the Fisk collection as well as the White Sox collection. They make 160 cards/stickers for the Fisk collection.


I actually won a lot of 5 of these cards so if you want one, speak up or forever hold your peace. I'm not asking for anything in return, other than your address. I picked up the lot for $.15/shipped. Can't complain about $.03/card.  It's a 2005 SI for Kids which explains the perforation marks. It is my 442nd card of Konerko.


Last but not least, I picked up a couple of Sox prospect autographs. Although Micah Johnson is no longer with the Sox. I picked up his autograph for $2.50/shipped and the Luis Gonzalez for $3. I've heard of both of them but I've heard Gonzalez's name mentioned during our rebuild so they must believe he'll make the majors in the next few years.
