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.

Topps and Fleer love

The great random on the internet came up with another vintage post. Of course, they are all also from 2x3 Heroes. I told you it was a huge package.

Don't forget that all these photos are from TCDB because my laptop lost all my scans and I wasn't going to dig everything back up.





I don't know what it is about 80's Fleer but I like it. Maybe because they were harder to find than Topps when I first started collecting, I'm not really sure but I love it. 1981 Fleer didn't do much for me but I love 1982-1987. These 8 cards put the 1982 set at 82 cards so a long ways to go.








What? 2 Pete Falcones in one post! I also really the 80's Topps sets so maybe my love for the 80's in just childhood memories. I don't really have that love for Donruss (other than 1981) in that era though so who knows. I thought the In Action subset is the greatest thing ever when these came out which put me at about 8 or 9 years old. These 13 cards put that set at 135 cards.

Couple of days of cards

I know it's Sunday but I need to post the last couple of days of mail calls. I didn't post them on the days that I got them because Jeff over at 2x3 Heroes dropped a box full of cards on me and I've been getting them sorted and cataloged. All in all, it's 187 new cards to my collections so you can see why it took a couple of days. It'll take even longer to get them scanned so you won't see those for some time but let's get to the last 2 days.

On Friday, I got one envelope with 4 cards that all go to the Vintage Collection.



These 4 vintage cards, oddly enough, cost more the newer they were. The 1974 was $.15/shipped, the 1976 for $.20/shipped and the 2 1978 cards for $.23/each/shipped. The 1974 is my 157th card of that set. The 1976 is also my 157th card of that set. The 2 1978's put that set at 136 cards.

Yesterday, I got 2 envelopes with 3 cards. All White Sox collection cards but also 2 other collections represented.


These 2 cards were as cheap as they come. I paid 1 penny each, shipped. That's right, $.02/shipped for the above cards. They are only my 2nd and 3rd card for that team set and my 134th for that base set.


In the other envelope was this 2017 Donruss of Chris Sale. At least he was still in his White Sox jersey on this one. Not that there are any logos to prove it. This is my 124th card of Sale and my first of that team set.
