Condor Butt with a Shoelace

Got 3 cards today in 3 envelopes. All player collections and 2 team collections. Not a bad way to start the week. You should know who all is going to be represented in this post by the post title.

Sorry about the blurriness but it's a very shiny card so it was hard to get a decent shot without seeing my phone reflected in it. I picked up this Chris Sale for $.17/shipped. It is my 141st card of Sale.

This would be the one card that isn't a team collection. I picked up this Denard Robinson relic card for $2.25/shipped. I've been winning his cards more since he doesn't currently have a team (I think). This is my 41st card of Shoelace.

I was really happy to win this Jake Butt autograph. For one, it's an auto and an on card at that. Secondly, it's a Michigan uniform, sorta, since they took the wings off the helmet. I picked this up for $3/shipped. This card is also numbered 20/50 which makes it even more surprising that I won it. This is my 8th card of Jake but I'm hoping to pick up some more since he just lost his second of three seasons to another injury.

Another day, another 3 cards

I got 3 envelopes with 3 cards today. I guess the nicest thing about buying these cards so cheap is that I tend to get cards in the mail most days.

I got one player collection card of a HOFer, I though I already had it but apparently I have one with him and A-rod. This one has better company. I picked this up for $.25/shipped. This is my 126th card of Michael Jack Schmidt. I don't know why I know his name but apparently I do.

I also picked up this 2014 Bowman for the White Sox Collection. According to my list, I don't have any Chrome for this year, I'm guessing that I probably have some in my box of Sox cards but I haven't gotten around to logging them yet. Either way, I only paid $.25/shipped so if I had it, I have a dupe now.

It's Brian Anderson, so I thought I might win it but then again, it's red ink and only numbered to 25 so I wasn't sure. I was really surprised that nobody else bid on it. I ended up winning it for $1.99/shipped.

Monday pick-ups

I got 2 envelopes with 3 cards in the mail today. 2 player collection, 1 team collection. Let's get to it.

The seller had this listed correctly and incorrectly, not that it's a high dollar card or anything but I picked it up for $.23/shipped. He had it listed as a 2011 Topps 60 years of Topps, which is actually what the next card is. This is my 168th card of Barry.

Now this one is a 2011 Topps 60 Years of Topps even though it looks like the 1983 Topps. I got this for $.23/shipped as well. It is my 419th card of Ripken.

Another autograph of Thyago Vieira. I know he was playing with the Sox this year but all I can remember is watching him blow a lead in the one game I remember watching him in. This is my 5th pick up of his cards, all autographs. I got this one for $2.75/shipped.

Weekend catch-up

This is a catch up post because I've gotten cards the last few days but hadn't posted them. I have various collections represented today.

We'll start with a couple of Bowman Heritage cards I picked up for a dime/shipped a piece. These go to the new Baseball collection which is anything that's not in my other collections.

I found this searching dime cards but it goes to the Vintage Collection. I picked it up for $.13/shipped. I'm always happy to grab 1981 Topps because I'm over 75% complete.

Now for the player collection portion. I picked up this Gary Carter from this years Archives set. I nabbed it for $.23/shipped. I've been bidding on a bunch of these Archives cards for my player collections but have only won a couple. This is my 116th card of Gary Carter.

I picked this 2018 up for $.25/shipped. It's my 96th card of Zimmy, slowly closing in on that century mark.

It's not a player collection but I grabbed it with the Zimmerman card. This White Sox collection card of the currently injured Abreu came to me for $.23/shipped. I only need 4 more players for that team set, but apparently they all have different versions so I need 7 more cards.

I picked up both of these Maurice Hurst's for the player collection as well as the Michigan collection. His cards are starting to come down, I've been bidding on his for awhile and just starting winning some. I've managed to get 4 of Mo so far. Both of these were $.34/each/shipped.

As you can tell, Denard's cards have come down as well. I picked up the triple relic card for only $2/shipped and the autograph for $3/shipped. Both great prices if you ask me. These 2 cards give me 41 cards of Shoelace.

Last but not least, I picked up this relic/auto card of Caris LeVert for only $3/shipped. This is my 7th card of LeVert and sadly, none of them are in his Wolverines uniform.

Rookies & All-Stars

I did get 2 cards in the mail today and you won't be stuck with all White Sox or Michigan on this post.

A Larry Walker rookie? Hell yeah! Well, ok, it's nothing that awesome especially since it's the 1990 Donruss set but it wasn't a bad pick up for $.10/shipped.

You'll never guess how much I paid for this Chase Utley. I'll give you a hint, it's not between $.01 and $.10 which would have been my max bid. If I had actually bid on it. This was a throw in with the Larry Walker so as you can guess now, it was a free card. There's nothing ever wrong with free cards, especially of a former all-star and silver slugger award winner.

Well you get 1 White Sox card but it has another team on it as well. I picked up this Heritage card for $.23/shipped. I didn't even catch it was Daniel Webb on the card until I received it. He was in the news over players weekend because Kevin Smith wore his nickname on his jersey to honor his friend who had passed. He hit a HR by the way, on the first pitch, and it was his first of the year.
