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.

Things are Funner Here, I mean there

I sent Julie of “Things are Funner Here” a trade package of some stuff I picked up for her.  I specifically went looking for some Phillies relics/autos cards because I saw some White Sox stuff on her trade bait page and I was planning on surprising her with the package but apparently I forgot to copy down her address last time so I had to contact her for her address so I took away the surprise.  But Julie sent back a great package anyways.  Here are the highlights.

Brent Morel rookie who is more or less our starting 3rd basemen this year.  Tyler Flowers rookie who is supposed to be our catcher of the future but hasn’t panned out so far.  Frank Thomas finest (I always liked those cards) and a Thomas rookie reprint of his 90 topps with no-name.  Ken Griffey didn’t do well for us but I have always liked him and liked seeing him in the White Sox colors.  I always have liked the all around good guys.

7 Konerko’s including a jersey card and a Tom Seaver.  More great cards for my player collections.  I think I have one or two of them already but that’s just fine, because I like to put one in my player collection first, and then one for the team collection.

My first Gordon Beckham relic card whom I also like a lot.  And the Gavin Floyd Bowman green that Julie had posted a few weeks ago that made me go look at her trade bait page to begin with.

Great cards Julie, thanks a bunch.  Be sure to check out “Things are Funner Here” folks.

Trade with Things are Funner Here

For my 3rd and final trade post of the weekend, I had a trade with Julie over at “Things Are Funner Here.” Another great trade, I’m having so much fun trading with these other bloggers. If your on the fence about doing so, hop on over to this side, it’ll be worth it. My White Sox collection is getting bigger and bigger by the trade. I’ve been too busy to get out and buy some packs so the only thing new I’ve been able to play with are my trade packages. And Julie sent a great one as well. Here’s some of the highlights.

Love the top 2 cards, just the vintage look of them are awesome. I’m a big fan of Peavy and AJ for the way they play. Hard all the time. A flashback of Contreras who was won of our World Series heroes. I really like Ken Griffey jr, always have. I wish his stay with the Sox would have been better. He didn’t perform as well as to be expected. But I did love seeing him in a White Sox uniform. And of course an Alexei Ramirez rookie, of which I had none yet.

The Buehrle card is a numbered one, I’m guessing an exchange for the Oswalt numbered card I sent her. I really like the Allen & Ginter’s, especially the Peavy one in the middle. Also didn’t have any of the UD Xponential cards, I like the looks of that card.

And of course, Julie boosted my Paul Konerko collection with all of these by quite a bit, Actually she about doubled it. So a big shout out to Julie, go check out her blog “Things Are Funner Here” for more great card blogging.
