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.

Cheap Ebay pickups

  • Frank Thomas – 1992 Score All-Star Starter ($.22/shipped)

I had never seen these before, but I figured at $.22, why not?  The nice thing about never seeing it before is I don’t have to scour my have lists to find out if I do.

Cheap Ebay Pick-ups

The card you’ve all been waiting for.  Do you remember me talking about the guy selling this?  If not, check it out here.

  • Jack McDowell – 1989 Fleer ($.25)

He sent the card after sending me 3 messages that all said the same thing about buying something else so he could justify the cost of a stamp.  I never contacted him, just ignored the e-mails.  I would have purchased something else had there been something else that fit into my collection, but there wasn’t.  He started the bid at a quarter, then complains that it only sells for a quarter.  It’s the same price to start an auction all the way up to $.99, so it wasn’t to save money.  Your mistake is my gain.

On the lighter side, never thought I’d have a whole post about a 1989 Fleer.

Player Collection Spotlight–Luis Aparicio

In this series, I randomly select a card from my player collections and show it off here. Being that it’s random, it could be a base, insert, parallel, auto, relic or any other kind of card I have. It could be from Paul Konerko, Tom Seaver, Luis Aparicio, Billy Williams, Dave Dravecky and even Mike Hart or Peyton Manning. I will put a mark next to it on my PC list so it doesn’t get repeated.

Cheap Ebay Pick-ups

  • Freddy Garcia – 2008 Upper Deck Spectrum Retrospectrum Swatches relic ($1.99/shipped)

Freddy was a big part of our 2005 World Championship.  “Big Game” Freddy was great in ‘05 and wasn’t the same after.  Hawk liked to call him “Sweaty” Freddy because boy, could he sweat like nobody’s business.
