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.

Random 60's Vintage

* I put my April incoming on random for today's post.

You already saw the Vintage post from the 50's, today's random puts us a decade later.


I'll start with the lone 1969. This is my 48th card of that set. I have a few of these leader cards, they are generally much cheaper for some big names.



Two pretty good names for the 1968 set. The 2nd Bob Gibson of this post already. So far no Yankees either unlike the 50's post. These 2 cards make 40 on the 1968 set.


My lone 1966 card and it's a Mickey Mantle, sorta. I certainly don't mind checklist, especially when they are part of the set. I prefer the ones like these that do have something to collect on them as well. This is the 34th card in my collection of this set.


Also one card from 1965 and another leader card where you get 3 pretty good players. This is only my 25th card from the mid 60's set.


We had a couple of Yankees up there but like the 50's post, there's a bunch more coming. This 1963 gives me 14 cards, a long way to go.


With 1 less card at 13, this original wood board card, and another Yankee. A rookie at that.


And 2 more Yankees but those are some big name Yankees, and being vintage instead of the millions of reprints just make it cooler. These 2 1961's give me 20 for the set.


Another White Ford and even older, I'll take it. This Whitey Ford gives me 42 cards from 1960. I remember buying a bunch of White Sox from 1960 which is why I have more from that set than the others. Out of those 42, 27 are from the White Sox.

All of the above cards came from Sluggo, who should be on his way to Indiana as we speak, with another box of cards.

Sluggo - Vintage (1962-1960)

I'm back with more free vintage goodies from my cousin, who informed me the other day he has another box for me. I'll probably get it when he takes it in to work to ship it. He's allowed to ship on the company dime so it never costs him anything. Wouldn't that be nice?

Today we are going to finish off the 60's. Yesterday we finished on 1963 so guess where we're starting today?



That's right, 1962, and only 1 Yankee. These 2 from the original wood grain set give me 12 cards for a 1.7% completion. Not sure why I bother listing the percentage when it's that low. I have a little more in the next set listed.







Ohh, there's the Yankees. The guy he bought this collection off was definitely a Yankee fan. These 6 cards from the 1960 Topps set put that one at 41 cards (told you it was more) which is a little over 7% completed. I knew I had a bunch from this set because I picked up a bunch of White Sox from it at a card show a few years ago. As a matter of fact, out of those 41 cards I have, only 13 of them aren't White Sox, and that includes the above 6.

He also gave me some non Vintage collection cards, but only because I only collect the base sets from the big 3.





Gotta love the oddball sets. I would buy a ton of cereal if they started putting cards back on the boxes.

Guess what? I'm not done, I have some even older cards to show off in my next post. We'll be hitting the 50's.
