Pre Show Post

Went over to my cousin's this evening to load up the cards and showcases for the show tomorrow. It's the same show we did a couple of months ago in Plymouth. It's not an overly huge show, it's in the basement of a church but it's been running for a couple of years now so it's got a good following. Plus, the church raises money while we're there by selling biscuits and gravy for breakfast and chili for lunch so we get food as well. The guy that runs it gives the money to the church and the local little league.

Today's post is in hopes of a season. I haven't see anything about spring training being postponed so we'll see.

I picked up all of these White Sox cards from the Baseball Card Store (online dime box) at a nickel a piece.

Fred gave me the top 2 cards as well as this team set from when the White Sox were the local minor league club. If I remember, there was only one name that did anything in the majors. I really liked this because I used to go to the games a lot more often when they were the White Sox. Now they're the Cubs.

Dennis sent me a ton of White Sox cards. I just selected the guys I have over 100 cards of to show off and I'll flip through them pretty quickly.

Robin Ventura - 153 cards.

To be honest, I'm not sure why I scanned these 3 together.

Harold Baines - 85 cards (I posted him because he's a HOFer.

Frank Thomas - 576 cards.

Ozzie Guillen - 110 cards. The cards Dennis sent me put my Ozzie cards over 100.

I posted Chris Sabo because, well, you know. Or at least Dennis does.

Some oddballs he sent as well. Love the bottom 2.

He also sent me this awesome 1959 card which will also go to the vintage collection.

Not only did Dennis hook me up with all of the above cards, but also these relics and auto. I told you he sent an awesome package.

The above 4 came from Sluggo. I'm not sure about those top 2 as in where they came from. It's not like he goes through the older stuff anymore, most of that is at our house. I liked Madrigal, I wish they wouldn't have traded him.

Lastly, I picked up all these Sox cards at the last card show we did. I paid a lot more of what I normally spend on cards on the Crochet auto. I'm really hoping he becomes something special.

That's all I got for White Sox cards that are non PC cards. Which is plenty. I don't know if I'll post tomorrow night or not. I'll be home in the early evening but as much as I enjoy setting up at shows, it wears me out.

Lotsa Lotsa Sox

 Yikes! I pulled up the random and I got the team collection White Sox. I guess the bad thing about doing these posts by random is I've gotten so many Sox cards since I posted it last time that this will be a very heavy photo post.

We'll start off with all the Sportlots pick-ups. These were all a quarter or less.

A bunch of Bowman.

And a bunch of the Gold Star parallels. Quite a bit of the team set.

Some 80's Sox, the top 3 are all part of the Vintage collection as well.

You know I love that top row. The 1968 game piece is a pretty awesome pickup for the price.

These are all also part of the Vintage collection.

Lastly, a bunch of 70's oddballs. I'd say I did pretty good with the extra pick-ups from Sportlots.

Next up are the cards I got from Sluggo's Sports Cards.

How about some more Bowman.

Some assorted A&G.

Some Donruss, new and a little older.

Some Panini Prizms. I grabbed the Crochet just because the Sox are the only team he's played for so far and he's pitching for us now.

Some various Topps.

Upper Deck.

Various cards.

Lots of 80's Sox that also go to the Vintage collection.

A couple of dollar cards he let me have. I like the look of manufactured patches but I hate what they are. A nice autograph rookie from a guy who spent most of his year with the Sox before being sent back to the minors.

Next up is some dime box material I picked up at our last LCS trip.

I was really happy with the parallel stuff up in that first photo.

Next up are a few cards that Fred brought me at work.

Fred always brings me cards that I think, I totally have those, then I don't.

Speaking of dime boxes, the next section were all dime box pickups at the card show I went to last weekend.

All but the Dallas Keutchel in the pic above were dime box. The Keutchel was $1. Almost everything up there is a parallel of some sort which was great for a buck.

Next, a couple of Sox cards I picked up at the Baseball Card Exchange awhile back.

I picked up the Smith auto for $3 and that awesome looking card of Fulmer was only $5.

Next up, Dennis from Too Many Verlanders sent some Sox cards.

You know Dennis is gonna send good cards, parallels, relics and an autograph. I'm keeping the Beckham relic even though it's a Georgia card because he spent the majority of his career with the Sox. I know he's commentating but I don't know where. He has done some Sox games recently which is why I know that he's commentating. I don't know if he's in the Sox organization though, I feel like he works somewhere else but came in to help us out.

Last but not least is all my Sox stuff from the National. I actually did a pretty good job of not spending much money the first day, then I ran into the bottom 3 photos.

Fr
I picked up the last 3 pics on the 2nd day. I spent close to $50 on all of that, which I still feel is a great price. I was excited when I ran into that table. I paid $3 for the majority of it and the 1951 & 1952 Bowman's I paid $4.

Like I said, a lot of photos. Congrats if you made it to the end to see the awesome vintage.
