Quarry Sox

Just a quick post tonight. I've been spending time at my cousin's helping him sort cards so I haven't had as much time to work on my posts.

As many of you know, Cards From the Quarry, gives away free serial numbered cards on Sundays. I know this, but I still miss out on cards all the time because I forget until Monday when I go through my regular reading. I did manage to get a couple though. Technically, they aren't free but all you have to do is send a card he needs off his wantlist. Easy peasy!

Johnny sent me this rookie and all-star. I actually thought I had the Micah Johnson but I looked and I do have a purple card just like that, it's even numbered to /250 but it has an autograph on it so I was close.

The Chris Sale, 1981 Donruss look-a-like, is also a 2015 but it's #'d to /299 as you can see if you look hard enough.

It's only my 15th card of Micah but he didn't amount to much of the hype he had. Sale on the other hand, is up to 153 cards.

Thanks Johnny!

Purple Shininess

As we prepare for Mother's day, or should I say I hope you're already prepared because it's tomorrow or where I am, in less than an hour, I thought I'd show off a couple of auto's I picked up on the Bay recently.

First, I picked up this Sweeney autograph. I'm pretty sure he was one of our "next big thing" players that never panned out. I picked up this card for $1.69/shipped.

I think Micah was another can't miss prospect, he still has a chance, but it will be with another team. Either way, this is a Sox card and a shiny purple one at that, it's pretty slick. This auto came to be $1.81/shipped.

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.

Another autograph addition

The magical mailbox decided to bless me with 4 envelopes this afternoon. I only have one more card that I'm bidding on and them I'm out for a bit. I still have quite a few cards coming so the blog will keep on rolling for a week or two. 

Let's check out today's cards.

1980 Topps

You can never go wrong with some vintage, especially when it's a player collection and a Hall of Famer. I grabbed this for $.41/shipped.

2016 Topps Archives

1992 Bowman Foil

 I got 2 Jim Abbot cards in the mail today from 2 different sellers. Sadly, one is a Yankees but I can't do anything about that. The Archives came to me for $.40/shipped and the Bowman for $.38/shipped.

2015 Topps Chrome Autograph

Last but not least, another White Sox auto. I've gotten a few of these recently and still have a few more. Micah Johnson was supposed to be our answer at 2nd but after a few tries, he ended up getting sent over to the Dodgers in a trade which I believe is where he resides now. This came to me for $2.95/shipped.

Newest Additions - White Sox prospects

I have randomed them and let's see what we got (unless you peeked at the title.) Sorry if a few are blurry, I didn't realize it when I edited them and I wasn't going to go back, find the cards and take new photos.

White Sox Collection (Bowmans)

These all came from dime boxes at the card show. One dealer obviously was a prospect chaser because he had 5 or 6 boxes of all Bowman stuff. That was it as far as cards, just Bowman. I went through it anyways figuring I could complete some of the team sets which I believe I did.

Be sure to check out my other 2 card blogs as well.
