MSO-Vintage Collection–1970 Topps

I got this for the usual $.50  I can say I don’t think I’ve ever seen this card before.  I don’t recognize his name or the picture.  Not that I’ve seen a lot of this set, it is a little before my time.

Completed Team Sets–1989 Fleer

This is the other set that I picked up for $.99 that I mentioned in the Complete Sets – 1987 Donruss post.  One of the uglier designs ever for fleer.  Maybe because it’s gray pinstripe which makes everyone think of the New York Yankees who not all of us are fans of.

Even though it’s not a great looking set, they did put the White Sox logo on the front which for me, other than there name, is a must.  I’m not as much of a stickler for the position being on the front as long as it’s easy to find on the back.

Definitely not a very exciting.  5 action shots out of 23 cards definitely isn’t helping this set any.  But it’s another completed set.  And it’s the final one that I have completed so from now on, you’ll get them as I complete them.

Vintage Collection–1974 Topps

I picked up 5 of these at the usual $.50 each and then won a 4 card lot of them at $2.04 which equals $.51 each.  I debated on the Traded cards because they aren’t technically base but they are vintage so I said why the hell not.

Completed Team Sets–1987 Donruss

These are supposed to be in numerical order but when I put in the scanner, I always forget to put them the other way around.

I don’t mind this classic Donruss design.  And as much as I hate to admit it, these are some of my favorite Sox uniforms.

A lot of these players are still with the organization or have been recently.  Harold Baines, Greg Walker, Joe Cowley, Ozzie Guillen.  Bobby Thigpen has some saves records, Steve Carlton was an all-time great lefty.  Steve Lyons is famous for pulling his pants down on first base.

I actually picked up this set for $.99 on Ebay.  I was already picking up a bunch of singles for my Tom Seaver collection and my White Sox collection so I purchased this and another team set for $.99 each.
