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.

It's been a week

It's been exactly a week since the last envelopes graced my mailbox so the post office made up for it by given me 3 today. Although technically, they may have been in there yesterday but we forgot to grab the mail. Either way, I got 3 cards so let's get to it.


I grabbed this checklist from the 1979 set for $.23/shipped. It is my 333rd card from that set. I don't know about you all, but the marked boxes don't bother me one bit. I remember doing that myself when I started collecting.


I also picked up another Devin Funchess card. This is the 22nd card from that collection. It doesn't seem like much but his collection didn't start but a couple of years ago which means the whole thing was purchased at under a quarter a piece.


I also picked up this 2016 Heritage card. It shows an autograph but I don't have a COA for it or anything. I only paid $.99/shipped and I only put a buck on it anyways. Even without the auto it's a short print so I took a shot anyways.

Throwback Thursday Mail Day

I did get a couple of cards today. A vintage card and a, well it looks like a vintage, card. Technically though, it goes to the Sox collection. Let's get to it.

2016 Topps Heritage
It's a Heritage so it looks like a throwback, that counts, right? Picked this up on Ebay for $.19/shipped. It was listed as a high number, I don't know if that means the same thing as the vintage sets or not, I'm guessing not since I got it for $.19. Obviously, this is going to the White Sox Collection.

1978 Topps
Ah, an actual vintage and it only cost a penny more. Grabbed this one for only $.20/shipped. It goes to my Vintage collection. It is the 113th card from the 1978 Topps set which puts it at just under 16% completed.
