80's love

I mentioned in my last card, non birthday or music, post that once I get close to my budget on Sportlots, I check my shopping cart to make sure that I'm buying at least 4 cards from each seller. When I open the sellers page, by default, it goes to whichever sport they have the most of (usually baseball) and their oldest cards listed. Sometimes I'll open it up and it'll have 80's cards listed so I'll look and see what they have.

I picked up these 3 from a seller. I know it's nothing exciting since it's 1986 Donruss but they bump me over 500 cards to 501 for that set which is just over 75% completed.

I only needed 2 cards from this seller and grabbed the top 2, then I saw the bottom 2 and grabbed them as well. The Brett was $.35 but the Parker was the minimum at $.18. These 4 give me 466 cards which is just over 70% completed.

Unlike the other 2 sets, this one isn't as far done but I've been picking up some here and there lately. I do enjoy this set as 1981 was when I first started buying packs. I didn't get a bunch of Donruss but I do remember opening some of them up. These 4 only give me 106 cards which is just over 16% completed.

Vintage Herr and Willie

Wow! It's been exactly a week since my last post. That's awhile for me, I'm a pretty regular poster but we went to 10 hour days plus Saturday this past week so it took me until Sunday to get everything scanned. When they up to 10 hours, I don't get home until 4:30 so by the time I get done with a shower, we're eating supper and then I tend to chill in the evenings with my wife. I usually take the time on work days between showering and supper to work on cards but the longer hours takes that time away.

I'm no longer going to stick to a month to get the posts done. I have a list of everything scanned and I will random that list and you get what comes up. If I receive more stuff (usually around the end of the month), they'll get added to whatever I still have left to post.

Anyways, I have a lot of cards to show off. A huge package from Jeff at 2x3 Heroes, some box break cards plus some extras from Chris at Nachos Grande, a PWE from Daniel at It's Like Having My Own Card Shop as well as 2 packages from baseballcardstore.ca and 1 from Sportlots. So like I said, lots of cards.

Let's get to it. Today's random is from the Vintage Collection.

Only 2 cards today but Jeff sent me a ton for the Vintage Collections so you'll see a lot more in upcoming weeks. These 2 cards put the 1980 Topps set at 313 cards which is just over 43% complete. These aren't just ordinary cards either, financially maybe, but in the early 80's these were pretty good cards to have. Willie Randolph was a stud for the Yankees and a Tom Herr rookie card? Yes, please! I would have been extremely excited to get both of these cards in the 80s.
