New Additions - Paul Konerko Collection

*For those new to the blog, all purchases were made on Ebay (unless otherwise noted) and all were under $.50/shipped.

I'm listing Ebay stuff but also I got a package from Bru over at Remember the Astrodome so you'll see assorted stuff from him as well. He was originally going to hook me up with some 1984 Topps (which he did) but he ended up sending a bunch more vintage as well as some White Sox needs. I'll be randomizing the posts like I did the last bunch.

Only 1 Konerko this round but I love the black border cards, especially with White Sox players because it's one of their prime colors. The Paul Konerko Collection is by far the largest of my player collections, it has 368 cards and is over 80 more than the Tom Seaver Collection which has 286 cards and is my 2nd largest player collection.

In case you're interested, the reason I pretty much always post pics of single cards is because of these 2 blogs that I use to store my cards. My Personal Collections (now with over 2300 cards) and My Baseball Card Obsession (now with over 2500 cards and almost 900 different card labels).

Group Break loot

Sam over at “The Daily Dimwit” had a group break with 2011 Topps Chrome.  I selected the White Sox (shocker!) and was given the Tigers (Damn!) as well.  Here are my Tigers, all are available for trade.

I didn’t realize I had refractors and base when I scanned these.  I have both of the top 3 so if your looking for the base or the refractor of either one, let me know.  The Victor Martinez Heritage is numbered 100/562.  Now for the Sox, nobody cares about the Tigers anyways.

I even had duplicates of the Konerko, 1 for the player collection, one for the team collection.  I really like these cards in chrome.

Both are numbered so I assume that makes them refractors.  Morel is numbered to /1962 and Dunn is numbered to /562.

And yes, the reason we all get in group breaks, I got a hit.

I really like this card.  Chris Sale has been great in the bullpen and it’s rumored that he will be in the starting rotation in 2012.  Which as much as I hate not seeing him in the bullpen, I’m looking forward to watching him every 5th game.  Thanks Sam, for the great group break.
