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.

Even more 1980 Topps

I got some more cards and some more from the 1980 set. I got 2 envelopes with 8 cards total.






I got these 6 cards from the same seller that I've picked up a bunch of the other 1980 Topps cards that I've been showing lately. 3 cards at $.25/shipped, 2 at $.23/shipped and 1 at $.21/shipped. These 6 cards make 156 for the set and 213 cards picked up for the Vintage collection this year.


I also picked up 2 more Cal Ripken jr cards, err, pop-up, well, you know. The 1989 Score card I didn't think I had but apparently I do. I had it listed under Score Superstars and the seller had it listed as just Score and I didn't catch it. I only paid $.18/each/shipped (2 card lot for $.36) so it's not like I'm out a fortune. The addition of the 1 card puts that Collection at 328 cards.

Vacation Pick-Ups #8–1970’s

Unlike most of the 1980’s pick-ups, most of these were bought specifically for the Vintage collection.  Mainly because they were in $.20 binders.  I pretty much grabbed all vintage in those binders but oddly enough, they were mostly better cards and players.

Do you see those awesome 1978 cards?  All of those for $1.  Look at the names, Jim Palmer, Gary Carter, Steve Carlton, Willie McCovey and Andre Dawson.  I don’t think I could have passed these up at $.20 even if I didn’t have the vintage collection to put them in.  These 5 1978 Topps put me at 45 cards for the set.

A leaders card, but it has Reggie Jackson on it.  This card puts my 1976 Topps set at 127 cards.

Obviously, the first 2 were picked up for the White Sox collection but I already had them.  The Los Angeles Dodgers rookies card on the other hand was picked up for the 1972 set.  It’s a Charlie Hough rookie, at least according to the card.  I don’t know if he was featured in the 1971 set or not.

These were also picked up for other collections but I already had them.  The Pat Kelly I had actually grabbed 2 of them when I bought it, on accident, but it works for me.

Next up, yes, I even got some 1960’s for the vintage collection.
