Tribe Cards haul

I got another package in the mail today, it was my cards from last years contest/game (?) that David over at TribeCards has run for the last few years. While I got 39 cards total, I only needed 8 cards from the package. I did grab 3 of the latter to send out in PWE's as well so the other 28 cards will probably go to my cousin. Let's take a look at what David pulled for me.

First we'll check out the new White Sox Collection cards.

2014 Topps Heritage

2014 Topps Heritage

2014 Topps Allen & Ginters

2013 Topps Heritage

Some Heritage and an Allen & Ginters from the last few years. All were needed for those various team sets.

1992 Topps Stadium Club

1992 Topps Stadium Club

I even got a couple of Stadium Club from the early 90's that I needed.

I even managed to get a couple of cards for my player collections.

2014 Topps Allen & Ginter's Mini

 One card for the Steve Carlton collection. I also received the base of that card but I actually already had it.

2014 Topps Heritage Chrome Purple Refractor

Of course, I have to save the best for last. This is probably considered my hit of the package. I love the colored refractors. I should say I love the way they look, because I do hate that they add so many more cards that I have to add to my collections. If you know how I get my cards, you may find it odd (as I do) that I actually own the Heritage Chrome Purple Refractors of Chris Sale from 2013-2016. I guess it helps that as far as collectors go, Sale is underrated. That is just fine with me, makes it easier for me to collect his cards.

PK Mail Day

I decided that I'm going to try to post cards as they come in, we'll see how long I can keep up. I get cards in the mail more days than not so that should give me a few posts a week, plus I may throw a random cards post in once in awhile.

I checked the mail yesterday after I got home from seeing Captain America: Civil War, awesome movie by the way. I only got one card, but it was for one of my top collections.

1995 Upper Deck Minors Organizational Profiles

To the casual fan, you wouldn't think that Konerko has too many cards in the Dodgers or Reds uniforms but you'd be wrong. At least about the Dodgers, this is my 45th of him with them. 

I grabbed this one on Ebay for $.54/shipped. I'm closing in on my 400th different Paul Konerko card, this one is number 395.

I'm still here

I know, I've disappeared again. I went to scan all my March pick-ups and can't get my scanner to work. I love what they do but I hate those damn things. Every printer/scanner I've ever owned has been temperamental. Works some days, doesn't work others. All of the sudden just stop working. Stupid things.

I really don't want to sit with my camera and photograph every card, crop them, then save them to my computer. It's a lot of work and I'm lazy. I should say it's because I'm a homeowner now and have stuff to do around the house, but we all know, I'm just lazy.

What really sucks is that I can't give props to all those that sent me cards. So I want to at least give a small shout out to those that have generously sent me cards.

Jeff over at 2x3 Heroes sent me another box full of cards. Being a White Sox collector, you would think he would send me all his dupe White Sox cards. He does, but he also always sends me a generous helping of vintage cards for that collection. He also hit 9 of my player collections and not all the White Sox ones. He always hits up a lot of different collections. Thanks Jeff.

Rob over at Blue Batting Helmet sent me some cards as well. All White Sox cards from a Cubs fan so I'm pretty sure he feels like he's just getting rid of his garbage but we are both first place teams right now, we'll see who's left standing at the end of the year. What Rob also sent me which was pretty awesome was a copy of a White Sox magazine (I didn't know they had one) from 2014 and the main article is a countdown of Paul Konerko's greatest moments. It also comes with a poster on the inside of it that I might have to use if I ever get a man cave. Thanks Rob.

You know Dennis at Too Many Verlanders and Too Many Manninghams is going to send me cards. He always graciously gets me cards. Noticed I changed sends me cards in the first sentence to gets me cards in the second sentence. That's because we got together at the Michigan spring game on April 1st and watched our future Wolverine team. We swapped some cards, I gave him a few and he gave me a box and then some. Like Jeff above, Dennis hit a bunch of my player collections and not all Michigan players. The nice stack was the small box of vintage cards, and by vintage, I mean a box full of 1979 Topps cards. 228 new cards to the vintage collection. Thanks Dennis.

Until I get my scanner fixed and/or replaced or figure out what else I'm going to do. I'll probably go back to the backup posts up some random cards from my collections. I am in the process of grabbing photos of the new cards off the internet and adding them to My Personal Collections blog as well as other cards are being added to My Baseball Card Obsession every few days or so. I'm still around, just not so much here until I can get my crap together.

I missed posting yesterday because I headed up to Ann Arbor for the Spring Game and being a night game this year, I didn't get home until after midnight. I also met up with Dennis and hung out during the game and swapped some cards.

I'm hoping to get all my March stuff scanned today, especially since it was snowing this morning and I have no more plans of going out. I only have one more post of February pick-ups which is all the more reason to get my other stuff scanned for March.

I've randomed and todays selection are going to the Chris Sale Collection

2015 Donruss ($.20)

2015 Topps ($.14)

2015 Topps Update ($.20)

2014 Panini Classics ($.40)

3 more cards for an even buck.

2013 Topps All-Star Stitches ($3)

 I also grabbed a relic of Sale from a LCS I've found.

I usually manage to grab some Sale cards as he is one of the more favorite Sox players but I still think he is underrated as far as the fans go. The MLB has taken note as well as the card manufactures of the type of player he is but I still don't think the fans give him enough love. Which is fine by me, because it keeps his card priced lower.
