Package from Blue Batting Helmet

As per his usual, Rob of “Blue Batting Helmet” tends to just send me packages out of the blue of White Sox cards he picks up here or there.  This is the latest of his surprise packages.

He sent me some 1980’s.  The 1986 Topps is a Traded because I have already completed that team set.

Some early 90’s.  Pretend your in another country and look at the cards right to left.  I always forget which way my scanner comes up.  They are in piles of the year.

Some late 90’s.  Not sure why I put Ozzie Guillen on top and buried a Frank Thomas.  Fail on my part there.

Even a couple from the 2000’s.  Rob always send me a good random selection of cards to help out with my White Sox Collection.

He even managed to hit a new card for the Paul Konerko collection with the Metal Universe card.

He did such a great job with variety that some more of his cards will be featured in 2 more posts.  One tomorrow, and one in the near future.

Thanks again Rob, be sure to check him out over at “Blue Batting Helmet”.  He is a Chicago Cubs fan, but I forgive him for that.

Trade with No Relics Pulled

Dustin over at “No Relics Pulled” saw a couple of cards I had posted, I don’t remember at all now what they were.  I remember they were Lineage and that’s about it.  Anyways, when he said he wanted them, I said “Hells yeah, anything for a fellow Wolverine fan.”  Ok, maybe not just like that.  But I can’t turn down a Michigan fan, it’s against my religion.  He responded with a mix of White Sox cards as well as some football.  Here is a sampling of what he sent, all these are new to my PC.

I really like the 1981 Topps.  I’ve debated on making that my first set to try to collect because it was the first year I started buying packs and I had a crap load of them.  I haven’t pulled the trigger on set building yet because I’m not sure I want to go down that road.  But I do still need some Sox, and Dustin helped out with those.  The only Gypsy Queen mini I had was Jake Peavy so I enjoyed seeing the Quentin and Beckham mini’s as well.

Dustin had said he didn’t have a lot of Sox cards to send so he sent what he had along with some football cards.  I don’t really buy any football anymore but I do have some so they went to that box.  He didn’t even need to send them, but I appreciated that he did.  I was plenty happy with the Sox he sent.  Thanks for the trade Dustin, I look forward to more in the future.  Maybe we’ll get together again, maybe for a show sometime in A2.  Be sure to check out “No Relics Pulled”.
