5 in a row

I've been knocking out the posts this week. Here I thought next week I would be knocking them out since I'm having surgery on Monday and will be home for the next 2 weeks. This will be my 5th day in a row posting. I must be sick.

As you can tell from above, today's is the 1980 Topps set. These also all came from the Facebook purchase that Dennis hooked me up with. Really like the Quisenberry rookie and the Astros jerseys (even if everybody is hating on them these days.) You also get the Niekro brothers in a post.

This is just a sampling of the 122 cards that I received for this set. It now has 311 cards for just under 43% complete.

Cheaper Than Stamps #16

This is a series where I show off cards I need for my PC’s that I pick up on Ebay for cheaper than a stamp.  My maximum I spend on these cards is actually $.30 so I get them quite a bit cheaper than a stamp.

I didn’t realize that I hadn’t posted since Sunday, my bad.  I left off with the 1987 cards that I picked up for the vintage collection.

1986 Topps – Willie Wilson #25, Ray Knight #27 and Tony Phillips #29

I picked these up from the same seller.  I paid a little more than I would have liked for 1986 Topps, but it was still cheaper than a stamp.  I paid $.21 (Wilson), $.27 (Knight) and $.21 (Phillips).

1986 Topps – Tom Gorman #414

Now the price of this one was more like it.  Only $.06

1986 Fleer – Bob Kipper/Curt Ford #648, Billy Joe Robidoux/Mark Funderburk #652, Kal Daniels/Paul O’Neill #646, Charlie Kerfeld #303 and Otis Nixon #591

I picked all these up in a lot.  $.25 bid with $.50 shipping which is the equivalent of $.15/each.  I believe at the time these were the first 1986 Fleer cards.

1985 Topps – John Marzano #399, Cory Snyder #403, Billy Swift #404, John Hoover #397 and Shane Mack #398

I picked this lot up for $.40 with $.50 shipping for a total of $.18/each.  I remember how awesome I thought these USA Olympic cards were back in 1985.
