Welcome

This blog is about sports cards. I tend to only purchase cheap items so don't come hear expecting to see big money cards. My teams collections are Chicago White Sox and Michigan Wolverines. I also have a bunch of player collections.

Lucky number 13

It's a busy week for birthdays so we'll get a post in on one of the few days there isn't one.

I sorted list players again last weekend and will continue this weekend as I didn't get them all the way done. I made a video and posted it on my Instagram that I thought was pretty cool. The first thing I do is stack all the cards by the last initial, that's what the video is.


I filmed that and then started to alphabetize the players but I only got through the A's and B's. It sounds like I might have Friday off this week so I'll probably get them done then.

Today's post is another team post, which should narrow it down. Plus I think I'll throw in a couple of PC's related to the team. These are the last of my July pick-ups.



Kevin (Sluggo) gave me all of these Michigan cards. He pulled them while sorting for our LCS as well. You'll notice the Hunter Dickinson up there (and below). Those are in the Michigan collection and not a PC because I don't think I'm going to PC him. The Griese card in the top middle is the back. The front of the it is also him but he's in his pro uniform so I showed the better side. The bottom 2 cards of each pic are serial numbered.


This Dickinson came from my LCS, he always sets aside newer Michigan stuff for me because he knows I don't open packs so I'll probably need it. Both of the Dickinson's are my first 2 of his and they are both refractors.


This also came from my LCS, he had it set aside withe the Dickinson up there for me. It is my 1st card of Jett.



The top card of Jake came from Kevin. I'm not sure if it was a sorting find or if it was in a box he picked up. Either way, it's mine now. The bottom card was in the list players that I sorted. No, Cronenworth isn't on the list, but Tatis is so I grabbed it.

So out of the 13 cards in this post, I paid $0. You can't beat that, I mean, someone can pay you to take them, I guess that would beat it.

42 of the Maize and Blue

Finally got some time to get my latest additions logged and scanned. I had to scan about 15 cards for TCDB as well which takes more time. I accidentally posted the wrong scan on one of them so I had to hit the inaccuracies and told on myself. Oops! It was my very last scan that I was adding so I was probably excited to be finished and jumped the gun.

Tomorrow were doing a card show in Fort Wayne. I'm trying not to buy any cards since I'm not getting many hours in the next few weeks. We'll see how well I stick with that.

Today's post is a team post so that narrows it down to 2. It would be the team that's still playing, because we're in the playoffs.





The above 23 cards came from my brother. I'm pretty sure I mentioned here that he is sorting cards for a guy that pays him and he sends me pics of any Michigan cards that he runs across and I let him know if I had them or not and he gives me the ones that I don't.

In the 2nd scan, the Joppru is misspelled. You get a Desmond Howard, an Amani Toomer, a couple of Steve (Aidan's dad) Hutchinson and even the lone basketball card of Tractor Traylor.

In that last photo up, you'll notice the top 3 cards. He gave me those 3 because I didn't have them. Technically, I still don't. I went to mark them off on TCDB and the numbers weren't matching up and I noticed the description on the back.

They are supposed to be autographed but they aren't so now I need to get the autographed versions so I can mark them off of the TCDB correctly.

I picked up these 4 at the last card show in Plymouth. I actually bought a couple of color variations of a Michigan player PC and he threw these 4 in with them for me. There are a ton of those TK Legacy cards and I'm far from having many.


I picked up this team set at Ace Sports Cards in Holland Michigan. We were up in the area for a card show and didn't buy much so we Googled for some local card shops and found this. What we didn't think of was that they were at the show so there wasn't much there but I managed to find a few cards, and this team set. I grabbed it because I recognized the years of having the fab 5, which are the top 5 shown.

I don't usually pick up this many Michigan cards because I don't generally shop for them unless they are PC players so it's nice that I actually added this many cards.
