More great cards from Jimmy to go with what he sent yesterday.

1996 Leaf Signature Series Silver Autograph ($4.25)

One more White Sox auto to go with the other 2 from yesterday. I paid a little more than normal but I didn't have a Karkovice auto yet so I went for it anyways.

1990 Bowman

I didn't actually order this but it was in my box, and I needed it so there you go.

1978 Topps ($.50)

1979 Topps ($.50)

I also managed to grab these for my late 70's White Sox team sets.

Even though it's the last day of the month and I have 2 more posts left for Feburary, I haven't scanned March's cards yet so I'll do that this weekend and finish off my posts before then, hopefully.

Trade with Uncle Moe

Moe over at “My 2008 Topps Set Blog” sent over some cards in exchange for some cards I had sent him.  I think he claimed some when I did my giveaway a few months ago but I’m not positive.  I know I had sent him some Arizona Diamondbacks for him.  But let’s get to what he sent me.

Some cards from 2000 and beyond.

Some cards from the 1990’s.

Some cards from the 1980’s.  I don’t think I have any 1986 mini’s.  And I love getting the 80’s cards because I don’t really have very many.  Which is why I liked to see the following cards as well.

All these 80’s cards were new to the collection.  I had a number of 1981 cards since I’m building that set slowly but all the ones above are new.  I didn’t have any 1982 Fleer yet and that set brings back all kinds of memories.  Loved seeing those.  And believe it or not, I only had a few of the 1987 Fleer cards so all the ones above are new as well.  Great job hitting the 80’s team sets Moe.  Greatly appreciated those.

He even managed to hit my Paul Konerko Collection with these 3 cards.  I like the look to the Fleer at the bottom.  And if you know Moe, you know he also collects Luis Aparicio.  So I was pleased to see these as well.

All new to the Luis Aparicio Collection.  I really like the fan favorites, you know, because it looks like vintage. 

And if all those weren’t enough, he slipped in a relic card.

And a relic card of a huge part of the World Series Champions in 2005.  I’ve always liked Joe Crede and hated that he had so many back issues.  I even liked him when he went to the Minnesota Twins if that says anything.

Thanks again for all the great cards.  Be sure to check out “My 2008 Topps Set Blog” where he is trying to get every card from 2008 Topps autographed.  Personally I enjoy the Aparicio posts more.

Trade with No Relics Pulled

Dustin over at “No Relics Pulled” saw a couple of cards I had posted, I don’t remember at all now what they were.  I remember they were Lineage and that’s about it.  Anyways, when he said he wanted them, I said “Hells yeah, anything for a fellow Wolverine fan.”  Ok, maybe not just like that.  But I can’t turn down a Michigan fan, it’s against my religion.  He responded with a mix of White Sox cards as well as some football.  Here is a sampling of what he sent, all these are new to my PC.

I really like the 1981 Topps.  I’ve debated on making that my first set to try to collect because it was the first year I started buying packs and I had a crap load of them.  I haven’t pulled the trigger on set building yet because I’m not sure I want to go down that road.  But I do still need some Sox, and Dustin helped out with those.  The only Gypsy Queen mini I had was Jake Peavy so I enjoyed seeing the Quentin and Beckham mini’s as well.

Dustin had said he didn’t have a lot of Sox cards to send so he sent what he had along with some football cards.  I don’t really buy any football anymore but I do have some so they went to that box.  He didn’t even need to send them, but I appreciated that he did.  I was plenty happy with the Sox he sent.  Thanks for the trade Dustin, I look forward to more in the future.  Maybe we’ll get together again, maybe for a show sometime in A2.  Be sure to check out “No Relics Pulled”.
