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.

No Sleep and Brooklyn

 I took today off for a funeral and since I only work half day's on Fridays anymore, I went ahead and took it off too. I was really looking forward to sleeping in but I woke up around the time I get up for work and had trouble sleeping from than on. After the funeral, I came home and logged in some cards that I picked up at Sluggo's yesterday. You'll get to see one of those tonight.

Tomorrow we are heading out to Baseball Card Exchange and do some shopping. Then on Saturday, we were supposed to do a show but Sluggo is doing it without me as I am taking my son on his first college visit. Exciting times in the household, we have 2 other visits scheduled.

Today's post isn't from one of the University's we're visiting but it's the top University in my mind. Technically, I've visited this one a bunch.


These 5 cards came from Sportlots. They are in 2 pictures because they came in 2 different shipments. The top 2 are different parallels. One is Jade, the other is the International which has a glossy cover. I also ordered one that said it was gold. I got it, but when I went to log it in on TCDB, I found out there isn't a gold version, it was another copy of the International one. That's about the only negative I have of buying on Sportlots is sometimes the cards aren't listed correctly. It's happened before but as often as I've purchased on there, it's only happened a couple of times.

Here's the aforementioned card I picked up from Sluggo. He got a package in from a guy he buys from in North Carolina and I try to go through and grab what I need first. I only grabbed 3 cards that were former Wolverines, the rest were White Sox or other PC's. This is the green parallel.

These 6 cards put me at the half century mark. I only have 1 other basketball PC that has more than that.

Evans Bengals

Only 3 more games and I can put this team in my rear view. I didn't even watch the wins from this past series. They are still on my DVR and I'm going to watch them, but mainly because they are playing the Padres and I'd like to see Cronenworth play.

Today's post is another former Wolverine but from the football side of things. It's only a 1 card post so it'll be a quicky.


This is another one of from Dennis and another collection we share, we have a lot of those since we both collect Wolverines, although he collects a lot more than I do. This is my 1st card out of 11 that I have where he's in his pro jersey which is rare, usually it's the other way around.

Not upset about the lack of upset

 Michigan went into Iowa and pulled off a win. A lot of people had it as their upset of the week but the D held on and Blake Corum lit it up again.

Today's post is another former Wolverine football player who I was excited when he signed with the Colts because on the rare occasion that I do watch NFL, it's the Colts, but then he only played one game before getting hurt. He was with the Lions for preseason but was released.


Dennis sent me this relic of Funchess. It's my 8th relic and my 91st card of him. He was a beast in college and had a decent rookie season but injuries curtailed the rest of his career. Be sure to get on Dennis' good side and start a trade with him at Too Many Verlanders but he's a great guy to trade with. Thanks Dennis!
