Another one down

No Sox or player collections today, that only means one thing. Vintage. This is the first year I started collecting so this post is special to me.

This whole post all came from Sportlots because the card barrel didn't have any of these so I had to pay more. You know, $.18 instead of $.15.

These however, I paid more for. High dollar vintage right here. I paid $1 for the Raines rookie and $.75 for the Fernando rookie. I probably paid a little more shipping on those as well because none of the free shipping dealers had these. I also paid a quarter for the leaders card.

These 2 also go to the team card collection and complete all the team cards from this set.

I lied, I needed a couple of White Sox cards too for the set.

I lied again, this is also a player collection card. It'll go with all the other Mike Schmidt cards. I also paid a quarter for this one.

All of these cards left me with only 1 more card to pick up to complete the set. Some of you say he doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame but the price of his rookie card compared to all the other cards in this set says different.

This was the last card I needed for the set. The whole set and the team set as it would be. It was the last because it was definitely more expensive than I planned on paying. I paid $4.10 for it. I know it's not much money for some of you but I hate paying $4 for 1 card when I can get 20 cards for $4. It cost more because there was only one on Sportlots and the seller didn't have discounted shipping to the Sportlots box so I had him direct ship it. It was the last one I bought but the first one to arrive here.

This was one of the first sets I tried to complete. I started this one and the 1973 set (birth year) at the same time, before I even started the Vintage collection. This was a relatively cheap set to finish, I really have no excuse for not finishing it sooner other than I just didn't take the time to do so.

Lotsa Vintage

We continue on with Vintage month here on MSO. Today we drop back a few more years.

This is a small sample of the 1974 Topps that I got in the Facebook purchase. I needed a total of 111 of the '74's I got. That was a nice chunk to the set which now stands at 46% complete with 304 cards.

Hall of Famer and Vintage

3 envelopes today and lots of Vintage. I guess we'll start off with the 1 card that wasn't vintage.

I grabbed this 1990 score of Barry Larkin for that player collection for $.01/shipped. Yep, another penny card of a Hall of Famer. It is my 121st different card of Barry Larkin and my 11th card of his this year.

I picked up both of these middle to late 70's cards from the same seller. I picked up both of these $.25/each/ shipped. The 1976 card is my 159th card of that set and the 1977 is my 100th of that set.

I picked up these 6 cards from the 1980 Topps set for between $.15/shipped to $.25/shipped. They give me 145 cards for that set and give me 199 cards picked up for the Vintage collection so far this year.
