Cheaper Than Stamps #30

This is a series where I show off cards I need for my PC’s that I pick up on Ebay or COMC for cheaper than a stamp.  My maximum I spend on these cards is actually $.30 so I get them quite a bit cheaper than a stamp.

We’re back to cards from the Vintage collection.  We always start with the younger cards and work our way back to the older ones.

1987 Donruss – Bob Walk #203, Tony Armas #498

I picked up the Bob Walk for $.11 and the Tony Armas for $.10.  I still put my max bid of $.29 on 1987’s even though I hate paying a quarter for them so it’s nice when it works out to pick them up out of a virtual dime box.

1987 Topps – Neil Allen #113, Tom Browning #65, TR Bryden #387

Picked all 3 of these up for a dime a piece as well, all from the same seller so again, happy to get them cheaper since they are junk wax.

1987 Topps – Tim Stoddard #788, Joel Youngblood #759, Dwight Evans #645

I actually paid $.22 for the Stoddard, probably had to overpay because he’s a New York Yankees.  The other 2 cars came at a dime a piece which pretty much seems to be the average on 1987 Topps, unless you’re a Yankee.

1987 Topps – Frank White #69, Jamie Quirk #354

Paid a dime a piece for both of the Kansas City Royals.  But upon further review, I already had the Frank White, oops.

1987 Topps – Gary Carter (All-Star) #602

The first thing I do when I get a stack of cards is scan them, I scanned this to be part of the Gary Carter collection which is why it’s scanned by itself.  The second thing I do is log them into the Google documents which is when I figured out I bought this for the vintage collection because I already had it in the GCC.  I paid $.11 for it.

I’m thinking I need to alter my process because I screwed up a bunch of scans per collections.  As you’ll see in the next week or so.

1986 Topps – Pete Rose #6, Dan Quisenberry #722

I paid $.20 for the Pete Rose years card and I have no record of actually purchasing the Quisenberry so I can’t give you an amount.  I keep the cards on my purchased list on Ebay until I post them here so either I accidently deleted it already or maybe it was a throw in with other cards I purchased.  That does happen every so often since they are junk wax cards.

That’ll be all for today because I got a decent amount from 1985 so check back after the weekend for those.

Completed Team Sets–1987 Donruss

These are supposed to be in numerical order but when I put in the scanner, I always forget to put them the other way around.

I don’t mind this classic Donruss design.  And as much as I hate to admit it, these are some of my favorite Sox uniforms.

A lot of these players are still with the organization or have been recently.  Harold Baines, Greg Walker, Joe Cowley, Ozzie Guillen.  Bobby Thigpen has some saves records, Steve Carlton was an all-time great lefty.  Steve Lyons is famous for pulling his pants down on first base.

I actually picked up this set for $.99 on Ebay.  I was already picking up a bunch of singles for my Tom Seaver collection and my White Sox collection so I purchased this and another team set for $.99 each.
