Vintage Collection

I picked up a bunch of vintage collection cards about a month ago.  What you won’t see here is I grabbed about 33 cards from 1980 Topps.  A seller posted a bunch of cards from the Texas Rangers and the Oakland A's, he started them at a penny and I figured I wouldn’t win but maybe 5 or 6.  Wrong!  Like I said, I won 33 of them and the majority of those were between $.40 and $.54 so it cost me quite a bit at one shot, which I don’t like to do.  Either way, I didn’t feel like posting every card of those, so I’m not.  I will post the other winnings though.

They are listed in the order that I received them.

1964 Topps Marty Keough

A nice quarter box find, only grabbed it for $.25

1968 Topps Bobby Locke and Tony Cloninger

I grabbed these 2 1968’s in a lot of 2 for $.55 total, so essentially, 2 more quarter box finds.

1977 Topps Darrel Chaney

I remember the lower case a’s they use on their hats.  I grabbed this one for $.46

1985 Topps Reggie Jackson

I know, it’s only a 1985 Topps, but it’s Mr. October.  I think it’s still a nice pick up, even at $.49.

1969 Topps Dick Schofield and Ken Suarez

I grabbed these 2 in a lot and I grabbed them both for $.90, which is equal to $.45/each.

1982 Topps Bucky Dent (in Action)

I always liked the 1982 Topps set for sentimental reason but I thought these in action cards were the coolest when I was a kid.  I picked this one up for $.47.  I probably overpaid because it’s a New York Yankees card.

1987 Donruss Allan Anderson

I know, nothing too exciting, but I nabbed it for $.17

1979 Topps Otto Velez

I got this one at the awesome price of $.15.  The cheapest COMC has it for is $.99 so I’d say it was a good deal.

Jim Abbott collection

I didn’t even realize that I forgot to post yesterday.  I suck.

I picked this up for $.30.  I’m always happy to pick up Jim Abbott cards, for one, he’s a Michigan man, and two, I don’t come across to many on the cheap side.

1993 Topps

I grabbed this one for $.45 from a different seller.  While I’m always happy to grab Jim Abbott cards, I do hate seeing him in a New York Yankees uniform.  This is the cyberstats version.

AJ Pierzynski collection

I managed to grab another AJ on the cheap that isn’t a Chicago White Sox card either.  The last one was a Minnesota Twins card but this one is with the Boston Red Sox.  In case you don’t remember from the last AJ Pierzynski post, I didn’t have any cards of his that weren’t with the White Sox.

2014 Topps

I grabbed this for only $.20 which is about right for a base Topps card.

Cal Ripken jr collection

Just so you know, the order I post these are by when they purchased and received.  At least until I get caught up to date, then I may post them as I receive them.  Today, I’m going to throw a few cards from the Cal Ripken jr collection since I have a few.

This one is a pretty cool card and I was surprised to win it to be honest, especially since it features Tony Gwynn as well.  I picked it up for my max bid of $.54.  Mad props to the seller because he used the blue painters tape.  First time I’ve ever gotten that with a free shipping seller.  One of the sellers that I tend to purchase from, tapes the card to the inside of the envelope (top loader).  Annoys the crap out of me every time I go to open one.  I usually end up completely tearing the envelope up just to get to the card.

2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes

The next Ripken card I grabbed for $.38.  It’s a cool looking card with 2 photos and it’s the Baltimore Orioles colors.

1995 Fleer Ultra (all-star)

The last one of this post I picked up for the cheapest, I only paid $.20 for it.  Technically it came from the same seller as the above card but they were won at different times and shipped separately.  Sucks for the seller that that happened, doesn’t cost me anything though.  I do like this set though as it’s got some pretty good photography.
