A Giant Sox

I was thinking it had been a slow week but looking back, I've gotten cards 4 out of the 6 days so I guess it wasn't that slow.

I got 2 cards today, a player collection that I hardly ever get any cards for and a White Sox collection of a player I've been getting more and more of (and hopefully a lot more in the future).

First up, this 2019 Bowman of Yoan Moncada. He's having a much better 2nd season than he did his rookie year and he's expected to only get better. I picked this up for $.30/shipped and it's my 21st card of him in his young career so far.

I picked up this relic of AJ for $2.99/shipped. It is my 2nd card that I've picked up of his this year and last year I only got 1 so at least I've doubled up from than. This is my 89th different card of AJ though so at this rate, I'll hit the century mark in another 5 years. Geez.

4 cards, 2 Dodgers

It was a 2 envelope kind of day, but a total of 4 cards. 3 from the same seller and a solo card. We'll start with that one.

I picked up my 2nd Opening Day card for the Sox collection. It's my 56th card of Abreu as well, I think if it was the 90's, he'd have as many cards as Frank Thomas did in that era. I picked this up for $.31/shipped.

I picked up another Schmidt as well, my 4th this year. This Canadian version of Donruss came to me for $.50/shipped. It is my 130th different card of the HOF 3rd baseman.

I could have sworn I had this one but apparently not. It is my 118th card of the Kid, it's one of the rare (at least I think so) of him in a Dodgers uniform. I got this for $.50/shipped.

Sticking with the Dodgers theme, here's one of a very young Konerko. I'd say this is a rare one in a LA uniform too but I think his Reds cards are harder to come across, or at least he doesn't have as many. This 1998 Elite card was also $.50/shipped. It is my 433rd different Paulie card which is my largest player collection.

How Much?

My cousin, referred to as Sluggo on this blog, contacted me that he had a couple of cards I might want. We decided on $10 for both of them. I know, that's way more than I normally spend but he is my cousin so I don't mind paying a bit more than usual. I checked the bay for previous sold of the cards and I didn't overpay for the cards, just spent more than I normally would.

When he showed me the pic of this card, I was thinking I already had it and was going to say no to the $10 but I looked closer and saw it's #'d to /99 so it was a different version (bowl ticket) than the ones I have. Plus, it's numbered 6 of 99 which is my birth month and my birthday so it's extra special. Not really, but it makes a good story. It's my 4th Autograph out of 6 cards in his collection.

This was the card I really wanted. I didn't have any auto's of Jabrill yet, this is numbered to /35 and he's in the Maize and Blue. What's not to like. This is only my 2nd Peppers card but at least I can say half of his cards are autographs.

The last one of the DeVeon Smith sold on ebay for $4.50 with another $4 shipping so $8.50/shipped. The last one sold of the Peppers went for $9.50 and $3.74 shipping so $13.24/shipped. So you can see that I still don't mind paying $10/shipped for the both of them.

5 cards for the price of 1

I got a card today, well, technically I got 5 cards but I only bid on 1. Well, technically, on 2.

I bid on a 2 card lot but I already had one of them so I only placed a bid high enough to win it if it was 1 card. The card I had was a Frank Thomas card but I wanted the (far) lower card. On top of that, he added 3 cards to the envelope. First the freebies.

Not a horrible 3 cards, I didn't have them so there's that but here's the card I did bid on.

I picked up all 5 of those card for the bid I won trying to get this card. $.17/shipped. I was actually happy it showed up because I noticed on my purchased page that the seller was no longer a registered user so I just assumed I'd never see it, but here it is.

Random PC Cards #68

Since I haven't had much come in this week, I'm going to give you another random post. I did get my 30 1985 Topps cards that I mentioned a week or so ago. So that set is now down to only needing 23 cards. If I keep having slow weeks like this, I'll keep picking up those lots and make a little headway on the 80's portion of the Vintage collection. I do have some cards coming so hopefully next week you'll get a few more posts than this week.

I'm going to be using the random card link on TCDB and see how well it works out.
