New Additions - White Sox Collection (1980's)

This round of cards have all been randomized, let's get to today's cards.

Lots of cards on this round and multiple sources where they came from. The White Sox Collection additions from the 1980's is what came up, let's get down to it

I grabbed a couple of Sox from the 1982 Topps set at the barber shop. Nothing exciting but I do love this set, lots of memories of buying these in packs.

My cousin dropped this 1981 Fleer on me which actually brings me down to only needing 4 more for that team set.

Kyle dropped 11 cards from the 1982 set, you'll see the same 2 that I picked up at Doug's but Kyle didn't know I picked those up because I'm really slow at updating my want lists. That's ok though, because I'll just bump those 2 over to the Vintage Collection. All of these bring me to only needing 8 for the team set, I'd hazard a guess that I didn't have very many to begin with for this year.

He sent me 2 more cards for the 1983 Topps set which brings me to 1 card on the want list, the Carlton Fisk all-star card. I have one if the Carlton Fisk collection already so it would go right to this set.

If all those 1982 Topps weren't enough, he also gave me 13 cards from the 1985 Topps set. All of these great cards bring that team set down to 3, one of those being another Carlton Fisk (record breaker).

This is actually a 1986 Topps Traded card and was the final card I needed to finish that team set.

These 2 bring the 1986 Topps mini set down to 1 card, anybody want to guess which card I need? Yup, Carlton Fisk.

Even after all those 80's Sox cards Kyle sent, he still sent me another 5 to go to the 1988 Topps set which brings that set down to only needing 1 more card to complete. I'll give you a guess who it is, anybody? Nope, I have the Fisk this time, it's actually Joel Davis.

Big thanks to Kyle for all of this 80's love, he brought the team sets from 1983-1988 down to 5 cards to complete all of them. Check him out over at Nolan's Dugout

If you've been following along, Dennis has sent me all kinds of cards that are not the normal size, this one included. This comes from the 1985 Donruss Stand Ups set. You tear out at the perforation and it folds out to be a kind of 3D card. I had a bunch of these growing up but I never actually tore them out, I left them just like they are. Yes, that's Carlton Fisk who seems to be giving me issues on completing sets in the 80's but I actually had one of these already in the Fisk Collection.

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.

Trade with Blue Batting Helmet

Rob over at “Blue Batting Helmet” is a generous guy.  Just out of the blue I get some packages from him.  Just goes to show you that a White Sox fan and a Cubs fan can get along.  He sent along some Cubs cards for my son as well but I’m not showing them here.  Just the good cards.

I got some 1980’s cards.  Love the 1982 Topps in the middle, that was close to the beginning of my collecting years.

Some 1990’s cards.  I hadn’t seen the Magglio Ordonez card before, I liked him while he was here but didn’t like how he left.  But it’s still a cool card.

He even sent me a 2012 I apparently didn’t have of Jake Peavy.

Rob also hit my Paul Konerko Collection with this card from 2005 Donruss Team Heroes.  I have some of these but I don’t think I had any of these blue ones.  I definitely didn’t have a Paul Konerko one.

Thanks again Rob, be sure to check out “Blue Batting Helmet” for cards and more.
