Cheaper Than Stamps #49

Yesterday we saw the new addition to the Mark Buehrle collection, let’s see who we got today.

Steve Carlton – 2012 Topps Blockbusters & 1984 Topps (all-star)

I got the Topps Blockbusters for $.15 and the vintage (I know, not really, but still) Topps All-Star for $.28.  My Steve Carlton collection is still fairly small (only 11 cards) as I don’t get much of a chance to pick his cards up cheap.

 

Here’s the rundown on how much I’ve paid and to which collection so far in the Cheaper Than Stamps series.

Cheaper Than Stamps #48

It took us 11 days, but we’ve finally made it to the February pick-ups.  I decided I would do these month by month.  Why?  I don’t know, just roll with it.  Let’s start with the player collections, alphabetically of course.

Mark Buehrle – 2008 Topps Year in Review

I picked this up for $.26.  This is only the 3rd card I’ve picked up of his since I started these Cheaper Than Stamps purchases.  Rarely does his cards even start below $.30 with no shipping so I was surprised to even bid, let alone win this card.

Cheaper Than Stamps #47

We left off with our January vintage collection purchases, let’s look at what I got for the White Sox collection before we start with our February purchases.

Jordan Danks – 2013 Topps

I believe I have the series I part completed but this was the first from series II.  I grabbed this for $.11/shipped.

Paul Konerko – 2000 Topps

I grabbed this for $.20.  I already have it in the Paul Konerko collection so it goes over to the White Sox collection.  The sad part is I probably looked over it doing my Paul Konerko searches not even thinking that it could go in the team sets until I intentionally searched for White Sox cards and it popped up.  This brings that team set down to 3 cards.

1993 Donruss – Alex Fernandez and Steve Sax

I picked both of these up for $.11 each.  I still need 14 card for this set.

Frank Thomas – 1992 Topps

I got this card for free, that’s right, free.  I have a couple of sellers that package using other cards and for once, it was actually a card I could use.  Usually it’s a NBA card or later junk wax so I can’t even use it on my vintage collection.  I still need 23 cards for this set.

1986 Donruss – Daryl Boston and Bryan Little

I picked up the Little for $.11 and the Boston for $.29.  These 2 cards still bring me down to 21 cards to complete the set.

Daryl Boston – 1985 Donruss

This is a card I picked up in the 5 cards lots for the vintage collection.  I paid $.30 for the lot which equals out to $.06 each so this card was $.06.  I still need 23 cards for this set,
