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.

Purple Shininess

As we prepare for Mother's day, or should I say I hope you're already prepared because it's tomorrow or where I am, in less than an hour, I thought I'd show off a couple of auto's I picked up on the Bay recently.


First, I picked up this Sweeney autograph. I'm pretty sure he was one of our "next big thing" players that never panned out. I picked up this card for $1.69/shipped.


I think Micah was another can't miss prospect, he still has a chance, but it will be with another team. Either way, this is a Sox card and a shiny purple one at that, it's pretty slick. This auto came to be $1.81/shipped.

Hump Day Auto

Another single card today, but it's an autograph.


I picked up this Koger autograph for $2.49 shipped. It is my 6th card of him and oddly enough, it is my 5th autograph. I'm wondering if maybe he just doesn't have very many base cards. He may be losing his player collection status considering all my cards are from 2012. I don't think he ever went pro so that is probably why he doesn't have many cards. I usually like to get at least 10 cards before saying a player collection and being as it's been 6 years, we'll see. All his cards will still go to the Michigan collection if that does happen.

A Wood Bench

Sorry about that title, I couldn't help myself.

To be honest, I don't remember if these 2 came in the same envelope or not but they are kind of the same card. Classic players on newer cards so I'm going to put them together.


 I picked up this Bench for the player collection for $.23/shipped. It is my 76th card from that collection. It sounds like a lot but the fact that 50 of those are after he played doesn't say much.


I also grabbed this Wilbur Wood for the White Sox Collection. This is the better card of the 2 because it's shiny and it's a White Sox player. I grabbed this for only $.15/shipped.

Wormley Monday

Another one card post and another former Wolverine. I've all of the sudden been picking up a bunch of them. I usually do about a year after they are drafted, their prices start to come down to reality and I start winning them.


This is my 3rd card of the former Wolverine defensive lineman, my 2nd in 2 weeks. This is actually my first non-autograph and my first in a Michigan uniform (sort of) of him though so there is that. I grabbed this for $.23/shipped.

Another 1975

I showed some 1975's earlier in the week. Here's one more that I purchased from a separate seller.


I picked this up for $.23/shipped. It is only my 47th card from the 1975 set which isn't so great considering I have the Sox team set among those 47.
