Vacation Pick-Ups #1

I’m going to start off with some of the newer pick-ups and work to the better stuff.

Picked up the top 3 for $.20/each and the bottom 2 came from Sluggo.  Always love the Xfractors and check out the black border Omar Vizquel.  Those are numbered to /99 but you have to love black border White Sox cards.

Most (if not all) came for $.20 each.  Nothing extremely exciting but I needed all of these for the White Sox Collection.

Here are a few oddball cards that I picked up at the same price.  You gotta love the Michael Jordan at the top and the minor league Frank Thomas at the bottom left.

I also picked up these 3 80’s cards but all great White Sox players.  I know, I promised you great cards in these Vacation pick-up posts but come back tomorrow for some 70’s pick-ups.  Ok, ok.  I’ll show you some vintage.

Look at those!  Ok, I can’t do that to you.  These are reprints that were put out in the early 90’s (I think) by Red Heart Dog Food.  But I still think they are cool.  These are glossy though, not that I have a problem with that, but it doesn’t go well with vintage look-a-likes.

Come back tomorrow for the start of the true vintage.  I promise.

Completed Team Sets-2011 Topps

Here’s another flagship set (without the update)

This was probably my first flagship set I completed because 2011 was when I started this blog and therefore really started to collect again.

I completed this set the old school way.  Got the cards in packs and trading.  So I have a lot of you guys and gals to thank for it.

It’s not a horrible design, I always like the logo to be on the front along with the players name and they used action photo’s over head shots.  That’s probably the biggest plus but the newer cards generally use action shots over the head shots anymore.

I even have the Update set for the whole complete 2011 Topps set.  Like I said above, it was first year back and I bought a lot of cards.
