Just a reminder that all these photos come from TCDB (except the random Relic) as I don't keep scans of my cards anymore. The Magglio I grabbed from my blog because there wasn't one on TCDB. I am currently working on getting everything I have scanned on there but haven't made it to my relics/autograph binder yet.

A lot of White Sox cards up there which isn't too surprising. 5 White Sox cards and none of them were in my player collections. I do enjoy doing these posts because I sometimes run into a card or 2 that I haven't seen in awhile, like the Magglio relic card. 3 cards from Jeff at 2x3 Heroes who we've seen his name a lot in the last month or so.

Another 1985 Set

We all survived our Thanksgiving. I got my Covid test results back and they were negative and I still have 2 more days off of work. I'd say we're having a good weekend so far.

Why not put out a post. The random generator gave us a vintage collection post but it's an 80's set, so it may not thrill most of you but it's a set that we don't see much.

Now remember, I had to get all these card pics from TCDB because I lost my scans so you're going to get a bunch of pics.

Jeff over at 2x3 Heroes sent me all of these 1985 Donruss which are definite needs. I've completed the Fleer and Topps sets from this year and these 14 cards only give me 61 cards from this set. They must not have produced as many cards as Fleer and Topps because I just don't run into them nearly as often.

Lotsa Sox

Hey, I finally got another envelope. I actually got a box of stuff yesterday from my cousin but he sends me whatever Sox stuff he finds so I have to filter through it and see what all I need so it'll be a bit before you see that. Before we get going today, I'll give you an update on my Ebay purchases (read last couple of posts if you aren't in the know). It's a nice, easy update.

As soon as I get my past winnings in the mail, I'll be done with the site. The card I couldn't pay for, got cancelled by the seller. He never responded to my messages so as far as I know, he just thinks I'm a dick that wouldn't pay the $.27.

As I said before though, I did get one of those past winnings in the mail tonight. 1 envelope with 7 cards in it that is.

Somebody posted a bunch of 83 fleer so I bid on all the Sox cards that I needed. I won all these for $1/shipped once tax was paid. It broke down to 4 cards at $.06, 2 cards at $.22 and one at a quarter. Sadly, it doesn't even put me at half for the team set. I know all the players except that Ernesto guy, not sure I've seen him before.

I have 6 more envelopes coming from Ebay, although one is way overdue so we'll see if I even get that one.

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.
