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.

White Sox Monday

Gonna follow up my Michigan heavy post with a White Sox heavy post, sorry about that (not really.)


I came across this looking for dime cards but I needed it for the team set. Which I'm not really close to finishing but I still needed it and how could I pass up a card of One Dog for $.06/shipped.


I was thinking I already had this so I only bid $1 on it, which is what I won it for. When I went to log it in, I went to check and see if I did indeed have it, I searched him by name and come to find out, this is my 3rd one of his, and this card. That's alright though, I keep dupes of autos. Unless I know Jeff (2x3 Heroes) needs it than I'll send it his way.


I've been watching him the last few months and he's been a decent player with some potential so I was happy to pick up this auto for $1.25/shipped.


I've definitely kept an eye on Nicky as I believe he has been up most if not all the season. He started the season off with a ton of multi hit games and even though that has tapered off some, he's still a pretty good rookie and again, was happy to pick up an auto of his for $3/shipped.

Michigan Saturday

Technically, the cards I'm showing today, came in the mail yesterday. I've been fighting a cold and I had running around to do after work so by the time I got on my laptop, I was half asleep so I never got around to posting them. This post with me heavy on the Michigan stuff today but I'll start with the one that's not.


I picked up this card for the Baseball Collection for $.10/shipped. Not that I really want to add any Indians to my collection since they are running away with our division, but they are also the only team over .500 so it's not like it's a tough decision.


I'll start the Michigan collection with a dupe. I actually already have this card but I bid on dupes of autos and relics, I just don't go to $3 depending on how many I have. I picked this one up for $2.25/shipped and it was a 2 card lot with another auto of a Boise State player but I don't have a Football Collection so it's not featured here. Dennis, let me know if you need this and it's yours.


This is only my 2nd Mo Hurst card, I grabbed it for only $.35/shipped. I've bid on a bunch of his but they tend to go over my max bid. I bid max bid of $.50 on Michigan uniform cards which is why this is over my usual $.25 bid.


This is my 3rd card of Channing Stribling, all 3 are auto's in his Michigan uniform. I picked this one up for only $1.25/shipped.

I guess it pays to wait a day to post since I watched Michigan play today, it's only fitting to post a bunch of Michigan cards.

Unlicensed Auto

Another one card mail day. I have some more cards coming but I haven't taken the time to bid on anything lately. I've been fighting a cold and going to bed early because I'm getting up earlier. So there will probably be a slow period in a week or so. I'll get going again this weekend.


I picked up this non-licensed auto for $2.35/shipped. It's not even my first auto of his but I believe the other one is also a logoless card.

Future Star Auto

After the last couple of posts, you'll be happy to see that I only got 1 card in the mail today but it is another White Sox collection so most of you won't be interested anyways.


I picked up this autograph of a possible future star for my max bid of $3/shipped. I wouldn't have bid the total of $3 if it was someone I didn't know much about, especially being a non-license product but I like this kid and his ceiling is high so I'm hoping for big things in the future.

Weekend Catch Up

As I said in my last post, I went camping over the weekend so I have a bunch of cards again but this time, it's because I wasn't around to post. So all of these came in on Friday, Saturday or today.

We'll start off with the newly started Baseball Collection, or in other words, any cards that don't belong in any of my other collections.


Along with the max bid of $.10/shipped that I bid on the other cards, I put a max bid of $1 on jerseys/autos and I came home with this card for $.74/shipped.



I picked up these 3 for the 1981 Topps set of the Vintage Collection. I ran across these looking for penny cards to bid on. I picked up the Reuschel for $.16/shipped, the Lyle for $.23/shipped and the May/Sutton for $.22/shipped. These 3 cards put the 1981 Topps set at 77% completed.


I also managed to pick up 2 more cards for the 1964 Topps set. I grabbed both of these for a quarter/shipped a piece. This only gives me 21 cards for that set though.


These 2 additions to the White Sox Collection came to me for $.23/shipped and $3/shipped. I assume you can figure out which price goes with which card. I think that might be my first 2018 Allen & Ginter of a Sox player. The Carlos Sanchez is my first of Yolmer, which is what he goes by these days.


I also picked up this Ryan Zimmerman for that player collection for $.16/shipped. It is my 95th card of Ryan, it's my 4th from 2018.



I haven't picked up any cards of Funchess in awhile so it was odd to pick up 2 at once. Although I picked up one on a mistake. I bid on so many cards that a lot of time I just glance at the card and if it doesn't look familiar, I bid. Well in doing that, I glanced at the top card and saw the black triangle in the corner and thought it was a piece of jersey and put $3 on it. Luckily, I won it for only $.99/shipped and while that is above my usual bid price, it's still mine. I picked up the relic card of his for $2.50/shipped. These 2 cards make 27 in that player collection

That catches me up for this past weekend and now I have to go back to work again tomorrow. Real life is calling.
