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.

Freebies

I watched my first spring training game today. We lost to the Cubs but I should probably get used to watching the Sox lose. I was just excited to watch some baseball again.

Just a quick post with a couple of cards. I joined BlueSky a little while ago, so much better than Twitter or X or whatever it's called these days. I just wish I had more people to follow but I also don't want it turning into X.

There are a couple of people who just give away cards. The guy I got these 2 cards from, just randomly posts cards and the first person to claim them, he sends them to. That's how I added these 2 to my PC.


I just sent him a message and said, I'll take those. Gave him my address and a week later they were in my mailbox. It made me think to post these cards when I claimed a couple more today. I have more cards to post, I just have to get in the habit of posting again.
