Back in the day

So after our loss on Friday night, I have to rely on basketball to get my Michigan fix. Luckily, basketball is on tonight. Both men and women's so I'll have a couple of games to watch. It's a rarity to be able to watch the women's team as they don't put them on TV too often but they are pretty good this year and I believe, ranked in the top 10. We won't talk about the men's team.

Today's post is one of my more popular collections as in not too many people care for my White Sox or Michigan and that's what the majority of my collections are. But not today, today is Vintage!

All these came from baseballcardstore.ca. I had some money left over from a card show and figured I'd make a purchase there. Their cards are now a nickel which was great, but that's because they raised their shipping rates so after all was said and done, they all ended up costing me a dime a piece anyways. I checked some of the sets that I was close to finishing just to see what I needed. The 1981 Fleer set is now 78.9% completed. The 1982 Donruss set is now 80% complete. The 1986 Donruss set is now 91.5% complete, I only need 56 more. The 1987 Donruss set is now 75.9% complete.

All but the last card, were extra from Sportlots. As in, I picked them up from sellers that I was already buying cards from so I added these while I was still in the shipping range I was in.

These 2 only give me 77 cards from the 1983 Donruss set.

You already know where this set is from the top cards.

These 2 from 1978 Topps give me 184 cards.

These 4 from the 1977 Topps set give me 261 cards.

This 1974 Topps puts me at 311 cards.

This 1971 Topps give me 118 cards.

This 1963 Topps gives me 15 cards.

I picked these up from the same seller. When I saw a bunch of 1960 Topps for $.30/each I jumped on them.  They were listed as the same grade as most of the other cards above but as you can tell, they are a little more worse for the wear. I'll keep them and if I ever get close to completing it (probably never), I'll upgrade some of them. These 22 cards give me 70 cards from this set.

This 1959 Topps didn't come from Sportslots though, it came from Dennis at Too Many Verlanders. He sent me a huge Christmas package and while this is technically a White Sox collection card, I had to show it on the vintage post too because it's a true vintage card.

Back to the Sportslots cards, I picked up this 1958 Topps, it's my 22nd card from that set.

Lastly, I picked up this 1955 Bowman. It's only my 5th card from that set so I have a long ways to go.

Even though I've been buying a ton of player collection on Sportslots, I've been picking off quite a bit of Vintage as well. One of my fears of searching player collections is that it will leave my other ones bare but I've been picking up vintage here and there and my team collections I've been grabbing at shows so it's worked out.

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.

1977 Topps day

Today, I'm going to catch up on the few envelopes I've received this week and then tomorrow I'll get together a post of the vintage cards that my cousin sent me. You'll get a bunch of vintage today as well. I've got 3 sellers to show today though so let's get to it. We'll start with the newer card.

I don't have to many cards of Todd Frazier because he's only been with the Sox for a year and the majority of my 2016 Sox cards are from flagship because Jeff (2x3 Heroes) sent those to me. I've picked up some others here and there but those are the majority of what I have. I believe I picked up another Frazier from 2016 Update earlier in the year. I picked up this one for $.25/shipped.

I picked up these 3 1977 Topps in a lot for $.45, which equals out to $.15/shipped. I put $.75 max bid since I needed all 3 so I was happy to get it at the price I did.

I picked up one of these at $.16/shipped and all the rest were anywhere between $.20/shipped and $.25/shipped. He had a ton more 1977's for sale, these are just the ones that I came away with for under a quarter. These 16 cards put that set at 88 cards which is good for 13% completed.
