A side collection

Just a quick post before I head off to bed, just wanted to share some cards that I won from Cards That Never Were. I'm not sure won would be appropriate, I think I just commented and came up first on his random. Either way, they are mine now.

I won a pack of his cards. These are pretty cool and the fact that he does these cards, prints and sells them are pretty cool. I'm a little jealous, this would be a cool talent to have. 

I'm not a big football guy (pro) but I definitely know these guys, or at least know of them as they are some of the older players.

These cards are so cool and I love them but they don't fall into my collections. I'm definitely going to hang on to them for a bit. I do have an other collection where I keep odds and ends of cards that don't fit but I like. I did get one card that fits into my collection.

This is the insert that comes in the pack. While it doesn't technically go in the White Sox collection, I do keep cards of players with the Sox in college uniforms if they were with the team awhile or meant something to me. Obviously, the Big Hurt was a pretty big name and he is and continues to be associated with the team.

Photo Cleansing #11

Before I get to the photo cleansing, I’ve got to get around to scanning some cards I got in from ebay.  Also I bought a rack pack of Topps Update to post, I’m going to try to get a little better at posting,  That’s my goal for this month.  I’ve had most of these pictures for awhile so they may be a little outdated.

For those that are new around here, I save photo’s I like as I go through blogs and when I get a few, I’ll post them here for your enjoyment. And it takes less space storing them here then on my computer.  Here we go.

I’ll start off my teams or at least 2 of them.

One thing I like about Denard is when he breaks free, nobody catches up with him.  He usually puts distance between him and the defenders.  I was at this game, BTW.  My next tickets are for the Nebraska game, I’m really looking forward to that.  It’s on the 19th.

Ozzie has left the White Sox, I liked him, but this year I kind of got my fill of him and was ready for him to go.  It’s a wait and see on Robin Ventura, I don’t have a problem with the hire.  It’s basically an unknown since he has no experience which is why I’m going the wait and see route.

We celebrated the 6 year anniversary a week ago of this.

How about some humor.

Notice the ESPN sign on the left.  Although I wonder if it’s not photoshopped.

How about some vintage.

Photo Cleansing #10

For those that are new around here, I save photo’s I like as I go through blogs and when I get a few, I’ll post them here for your enjoyment. And it takes less space storing them here then on my computer.  Here we go.

We’ll start with the White Sox since they are finished for the year. They have been for weeks, but they will be officially probably tomorrow.  I still love the Sox, just very disappointed.

Just a cool shot.

Old Cominsky next to new Cominsky before it was US Cellular and before they tore down the old one.  Home plate from the old Cominsky is still there, in the now parking lot.

I like seeing Jordan in a Sox uniform.  Not that he excelled at it but I think if the strike hadn’t happened, he would have continued to improve.  Don’t know if we would have ever seen him starting in a Sox uniform, but it would have fun see what he could have done.

A late congrats to Paulie on his 2000th hit.

Ozzie, before he mismanaged our pitching staff.  And has probably served his last year as a manager here as well.

Can’t have a Photo Cleansing without some vintage baseball photos.

Satchel Paige and Jackie Robinson.

Willie Mays.

And how about a little humor before we hit some other spots.

The 1st church of the NCAA committee.

Sorry Dodgers fan, there’s a bunch of you, but I thought it was a pretty funny jersey.

Get used to seeing Peyton Manning like this on the sidelines, or at least when he recovers from his 2nd surgery.  It’s going to be a long year for us Colts fans.

I’m still rooting for them, just going to be a rough year.  We’ll find out how rough when we play Cleveland this weekend.

Not a Bears fan, but how could you not be a fan of his.  Walter Payton.

And you know we have to finish off with some Jordan.

I remember this shot, as should most of you.  MJ used to tear up Ehlo.
