I’m sure I completed this set with the help of “All Tribe Baseball” since he’s sent a few packs of these to me and other bloggers who probably in turn sent them to me. 3rd team set with all action shots but again, nothing spectacular. Also my 1st team set without Frank Thomas in it. Magglio Ordonez has been in all 3 so far.
Rob over at “Blue Batting Helmet” is a generous guy. Just out of the blue I get some packages from him. Just goes to show you that a White Sox fan and a Cubs fan can get along. He sent along some Cubs cards for my son as well but I’m not showing them here. Just the good cards.
I got some 1980’s cards. Love the 1982 Topps in the middle, that was close to the beginning of my collecting years.
Some 1990’s cards. I hadn’t seen the Magglio Ordonez card before, I liked him while he was here but didn’t like how he left. But it’s still a cool card.
He even sent me a 2012 I apparently didn’t have of Jake Peavy.
Rob also hit my Paul Konerko Collection with this card from 2005 Donruss Team Heroes. I have some of these but I don’t think I had any of these blue ones. I definitely didn’t have a Paul Konerko one.
Thanks again Rob, be sure to check out “Blue Batting Helmet” for cards and more.
Wow! That hair. It almost looks like some Disney character. Picked this up for $.75/shipped. Vintage for under $1 is just fine with me. I prefer older than 1976 for vintage but hey, for $.75 I can’t complain. I needed it for my 1976 team set.
Another small team set and another Konerko less team set. Dennis actually sent me the whole set and I removed the ones I needed to complete this one. Another team set with all action shots. Although you have the 2 sluggers slugging and the pitcher throwing so nothing outstanding photography wise here.
I sent Colby some cards when I put the call out for people to take my cards. This was his return package. I’ve received a number of return packages even though I told people they weren’t required. That just shows you how awesome this community of card bloggers really is.
These are just a few of the White Sox cards that he sent. These were some of my favorites of the lot. I thought I had the team card but apparently not.
You know the next best thing to vintage is the cards that look like they are vintage.
This one was new to the Luis Aparicio Collection. I always love getting new cards for that collection since it’s my newest one.
Colby added 3 more Paulie’s to the Paul Konerko Collection. Again, I figured I had the O-Pee-Chee at the bottom but apparently not. Guess it’s a good thing I keep records and don’t go off just my memory.
He even knocked out 3 Peyton Manning’s off the Peyton Manning Collection. I always like getting these in trades because I never buy any football cards so this collection relies on the kindness of others. I really like the action shot in the bottom cards.
Thanks Colby, everyone be sure to check out “Cardboard Collections”.
