Cheaper Than Stamps #31

This is a series where I show off cards I need for my PC’s that I pick up on Ebay or COMC 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.

1985 Donruss – Dave Stieb #196

I paid $.29 for this card, but technically I paid that much for it and 4 other just like it.  It was a 5 card lot of this card but I only needed one so if you happen to need 1, let me know.

1985 Fleer – Jeff Kunkel #561, Mike Mason #562, Albert Hall #326

1985 Fleer – Jeff Robinson #620, Frank Williams #624, Mark Bailey #344

1985 Fleer – Jeff Stone #266, Jay Tibbs #553

1985 Fleer – Mike Pagliarulo #139, Ken Howell #374

I posted all those together because I picked them up in 2 lots of 5 cards.  They aren’t scanned by lot so the lots could be any of the 5 above together.  I picked up the first lot for $.25 with $.50 shipping which is still within range per card.  The second lot I paid $.35 with $.37 shipping.  The shipping on that lot got split with a lot I purchased below which is why it is a funny amount for shipping.

These were the first 1985 Fleer added to the collection.

1985 Topps – Jeff Robinson #592, Ricky Horton #321, Sid Bream #253

1985 Topps – Ron Romanick #579, Mike Pagliarulo #638

This 5 card lot was $.35 and shipping was split with the above at another $.38 which is also still well within the range per card.

A lot of the players above are first timers on this blog as you can tell by their names not linking up with other posts.

Come back for the rest of the 1980’s on this round of Cheaper Than Stamps.

Cheaper Than Stamps #30

This is a series where I show off cards I need for my PC’s that I pick up on Ebay or COMC 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.

We’re back to cards from the Vintage collection.  We always start with the younger cards and work our way back to the older ones.

1987 Donruss – Bob Walk #203, Tony Armas #498

I picked up the Bob Walk for $.11 and the Tony Armas for $.10.  I still put my max bid of $.29 on 1987’s even though I hate paying a quarter for them so it’s nice when it works out to pick them up out of a virtual dime box.

1987 Topps – Neil Allen #113, Tom Browning #65, TR Bryden #387

Picked all 3 of these up for a dime a piece as well, all from the same seller so again, happy to get them cheaper since they are junk wax.

1987 Topps – Tim Stoddard #788, Joel Youngblood #759, Dwight Evans #645

I actually paid $.22 for the Stoddard, probably had to overpay because he’s a New York Yankees.  The other 2 cars came at a dime a piece which pretty much seems to be the average on 1987 Topps, unless you’re a Yankee.

1987 Topps – Frank White #69, Jamie Quirk #354

Paid a dime a piece for both of the Kansas City Royals.  But upon further review, I already had the Frank White, oops.

1987 Topps – Gary Carter (All-Star) #602

The first thing I do when I get a stack of cards is scan them, I scanned this to be part of the Gary Carter collection which is why it’s scanned by itself.  The second thing I do is log them into the Google documents which is when I figured out I bought this for the vintage collection because I already had it in the GCC.  I paid $.11 for it.

I’m thinking I need to alter my process because I screwed up a bunch of scans per collections.  As you’ll see in the next week or so.

1986 Topps – Pete Rose #6, Dan Quisenberry #722

I paid $.20 for the Pete Rose years card and I have no record of actually purchasing the Quisenberry so I can’t give you an amount.  I keep the cards on my purchased list on Ebay until I post them here so either I accidently deleted it already or maybe it was a throw in with other cards I purchased.  That does happen every so often since they are junk wax cards.

That’ll be all for today because I got a decent amount from 1985 so check back after the weekend for those.

Cheaper Than Stamps #29

This is a series where I show off cards I need for my PC’s that I pick up on Ebay or COMC 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.

Mike Schmidt – 1983 Topps (super-veteran) #301, 1985 Topps #500, 2012 Topps Gold Standard #GS6, 1987 Topps (all-star) #597

I paid between $.33 and $.37 for all 4 of those Schmidt’s on COMC.  I needed 4 to get me to 10 and I went for the cheapest.  It was nice to get 3 cards from the 1980’s.

Carl Yastrzemski – 1983 Topps (super veteran) #551, 2007 Upper Deck SP Legendary Cuts #6, 1984 Topps (highlights) #6, 1981 Donruss #214, 2012 Topps Archives reprints #287, 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes #177

I picked up all these on COMC for between $.39 and $.44 on all of them.  Can’t complain about a HOF of that caliber for that price.

Carl Yastrzemski – 1983 Fleer (superstar special) #629

I picked this up in a 5 card lot of 1983 Fleer superstar special cards that I grabbed for my vintage collection.  But since this one had Yaz on it, it goes to that collection first.

Tom Seaver – 2006 Topps Rookie of the Week reprint #15, 2001 Upper Deck Decade 70’s #158, 2001 Upper Deck Decade 70’s #112, 2006 Fleer Greats of the Game #92, 1999 Upper Deck Century Legends #32, 2001 Upper Deck Legends of NY #193

I picked these up in 2 different 4 card lots on Ebay.  Both lots had a duplicate and I already had 1 of the other cards so I ended up keeping 6 of the 8.  I paid $.83 and $.59 on the lots which 6 cards equals out to $.24 a card which is still under budget.
