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.

Canadian White Sox

I got my first of probably many packages from a certain Canadian seller. I've been winning some of his cards and he has some ending for about 4 or 5 days in a row so I wait until he has an evening that nothing is ending and I pay for what I've won over the last week. The fees are cheaper for him if he gets a lump sum as well as shipping them all at once instead of an envelope daily. How he can afford to offer free shipping, from Canada, is beyond me, especially when you see the prices I paid. All of these cards go to the White Sox Collection.

2013 Topps Mini Chasing History
Topps is really taking advantage of us collector's with all the mini's. I picked up this Adam Dunn for $.16/shipped.

2014 Donruss the Rookies

I also picked up these 3 from the new Donruss. I got the Matt Davidson and Erik Johnson for $.16/shipped each and the Marcus Semien for $.15/shipped.

2015 Donruss Preferred Bronze
Another Donruss, only this one isn't a rookie, he's an All-Star. I got this Jose Abreu for a quarter/shipped.

2012 Topps Gold Sparkle

I also picked up these 2 gold sparkle cards on the cheap. The Gordon Beckham came to me for $.15/shipped and the Matt Thornton for a quarter/shipped.

2003 Fleer Showcase
Last but not least, one of our many superstar rookies that didn't pan out. I picked up this card of Joe Borchard for $.15/shipped as well.

2013 Topps Heritage White Sox

As per my new way of getting the latest cards, I purchased my 2013 Topps Heritage team set from Brent of “BrentAndBeccaEbay fame.

I do like these because, well you know, they look like vintage.

On top of this team set, it included the SP which I believe was Adam Dunn and Brent even threw in an extra Paul Konerko for the Paul Konerko Collection.

I’m finding this way to get my latest cards to be the cheapest route.  And Brent has been awesome with staying in contact with me about getting extra Konerko’s or inserts.  He was going to give me the Adam Dunn insert card as well but he didn’t end up with any extra, he was actually short on completing all his sets but that’s cool.  He has gone above and beyond as it is.

I was looking at purchasing the Gypsy Queen set from him but I haven’t come across the checklist to browse yet.

Completed Team Set–2012 Topps

teamset2012topps01

This is the first of 3 2012 Completed Team Sets that Jeff at “2 by 3 Heroes” finished for me.  This one, the base set, being the biggest of the 3.

I remember the Brent Lillibridge catch and it’s great to see it on cardboard.  As a matter of fact, if you click his name, I’m pretty sure I posted the picture after he made it.

And we finish off the Surfboard set, which I believe “Night Owl” dubbed it.  Any 2012 set is great for me to complete because I never bought a pack of cards in 2012

And in case you forgot, I don’t include the update set since they use a different number system.  I count that as a set on it’s own.
