Jimmy claimed some cards on one of my pack posts and I sent a PWE of the cards that he asked for and he was generous enough to send me some cards off my needs lists. He knocked the 2009 team set down to 3 cards and the 2014 Topps team set down to 1 card.

Ray also claimed some cards from my pack posts and sent me some cards in return. I don't ask for cards in return but some people are just generous anyways and I appreciate it.

2014 Topps Stadium Club Autographs ($1.52)

2007 Bowman Sterling Autographs ($1.25)

These 2 autos were too cheap to pass up. Adam Eaton is our leadoff hitter and it's a Stadium Club so it's a great shot and John Danks is currently the longest tenured White Sox player on the roster.

2013 Topps Update ($.21) 

2014 Panini Prizm Refractor ($.25)

Picked up these 2 on Ebay as well. I picked up the Davidson not really knowing who he was but I have watched a number of spring training games and he's doing very well. He'll probably start in the minors because there are 2 spots left and 5 players fighting for it, including a couple of quite a bit of MLB experience already.

I managed to get 4 White Sox cards in my packs. Although I bought the packs knowing that I already had a series 1 team set coming so basically, I bought the packs just to open packs. We've all been there.

Newest Additions - White Sox Collection

I have randomed them and let's see what we got (unless you peeked at the title.) Sorry if a few are blurry, I didn't realize it when I edited them and I wasn't going to go back, find the cards and take new photos.

White Sox Collection

The last of my White Sox Collections posts from the card show. Grabbed all of these from dime boxes as well. I really liked the green Peavy and all of the red Turkey Red's.

Be sure to check out my other 2 card blogs as well.

Just like it says, photos of baseball cards. The "Blog" currently sits at over 4900 cards featured and I add more weekly.

This "Blog" has photos of the cards from my PC's. I have all the cards that were featured on this blog over here and will be working on adding all of my cards.

Everything from current to vintage sports pictures, baseball cards and more.

Completed Team Sets–2010 Bowman

A nice small set, not sure why it took me so long to complete it.

While I do like the way Bowman looks, I’m not a huge fan of the set in general.  I’m not a prospect chaser so it’s pointless.  Besides, how can you have a team set and not include Paul Konerko.  I understand the earlier years of his career, but in 2010.  It’s his team, he’s the team captain, and he can’t even get a card.  I don’t understand it at all.

It does have our starting catcher’s rookie card in it though, Tyler Flowers.  Of course, he was supposed to take over a few years ago so we’ll see if he finally got his act together.

Completed Team Sets–2010 Topps

My first flagship completed set.  This is only series 1 & 2, I don’t include Update as part of the set.  If they intended it to be part of the set, they would pick up where the numbering left off instead of using the U numbering system.  At least that’s the way I think about it.

I’ve heard complaints of this design, it’s not my favorite but I don’t think it’s horrible either.  I like the logo on the front.  Almost all action shots.

Love the team card.  I threw in the Beckham because it’s a completed insert set.  It was the only White Sox in the When They Were Young set, therefore it’s completed.

Completed Team Sets–2009 Bowman Chrome Prospects

I already said what I think about these sets.  But they are Sox cards so I have to get them.  Tyler Flowers is the only of these 4 that have done anything so far for the Sox.  He’s AJ’s backup and he’s been calling a good game and coming up with some hits.  Which is all you really need from a backup catcher.

Trade with Cardboard Collections

I sent Colby some cards when I put the call out for people to take my cards.  This was his return package.  I’ve received a number of return packages even though I told people they weren’t required.  That just shows you how awesome this community of card bloggers really is. 

These are just a few of the White Sox cards that he sent.  These were some of my favorites of the lot.  I thought I had the team card but apparently not.

You know the next best thing to vintage is the cards that look like they are vintage.

This one was new to the Luis Aparicio Collection.  I always love getting new cards for that collection since it’s my newest one.

Colby added 3 more Paulie’s to the Paul Konerko Collection.  Again, I figured I had the O-Pee-Chee at the bottom but apparently not.  Guess it’s a good thing I keep records and don’t go off just my memory.

He even knocked out 3 Peyton Manning’s off the Peyton Manning Collection.  I always like getting these in trades because I never buy any football cards so this collection relies on the kindness of others.  I really like the action shot in the bottom cards.

Thanks Colby, everyone be sure to check out “Cardboard Collections”.
