Today, we have the last of the Tier 2 baseball PC's. Tomorrow we'll start with the Tier 2 Michigan PC's.
Basically as of now, what I'm doing is going on Sportlots every weekend and spending about $5. Towards the end of the month, I have them shipped to me and then I have cards to post for the following month.
I was on there today, I specifically looked for a couple of 1985 Topps because that set is almost finished and then I wanted to search for other stuff but it is extremely hard to search for anything unless you know what you want. I figured I'd look for some Sox or Michigan cards but you can't search by team so basically, I need to know exactly what I'm looking for before I search so I need to figure something out. I'm not sure what yet, but I'll figure something out. Player cards and set cards are easy, it's the team cards I need to work on.
I'm done with my bitching, here's today's cards.
*All of these cards were picked up for $.25/shipped on Sportlots.
Once again, another former Wolverine. I've had one on multiple posts in a row. A former Wolverines, a former Sox player and now a current Sox front office employee. I can't remember what he does off the top of my head but I think it has something to do with the minors, I could be wrong. These 2 cards make 29 for the Getz collection. I don't run across his cards to often.
I also managed 3 more Shoeless cards. His collection has gone up quite a bit in the last couple of months, I received 9 last year, and almost all of those were in the last couple of months. These 3 make 26 cards of Joe.
4 of those cards also go to the White Sox collection. The last Shoeless Joe is with Cleveland.
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.

Sportlots - Tier 2 PC's, part 2
*all of these cards were $.25/shipped from Sportlots
Today we're sticking with more tier 2 player collections, it just so happens we're going with a couple of lefties today as well. Both played for the White Sox, one for most of his career, one for only a couple of years. Oh, and one is a former Wolverine as well.
These 3 Abbott's make 109 cards. It's nice that the top 2 are first year cards as well, the Donruss is the only one labeled a rookie on TCDB. The Topps is a traded and the score is a 2nd year card as a 1990.
I picked up 3 more for the Buehrle collection as well. The top 2 for the BJ's were where he finished off the last 3 years of his career and the bottom card is a second year card. I already had a Buehrle from that set but apparently he had 2 cards that year. It also goes into the Sox collection.

Sportlots - Tier 2 PC's
Today, we'll head into the Tier 2 player collections that I picked up from Sportlots. I'm not going in any particular order other than I'll show my baseball PC's followed by my Michigan PC's. Although a couple of the baseball are former Wolverines.
I forgot to mention this in the previous 3 Tier 3 posts, but the majority of these Sportlots pick ups were done around a quarter/shipped. A few of them went up to $.33/shipped. Most were the minimum $.18 plus the shipping equaled out to $.07/each for shipping.
We'll start with the player everyone loves to hate (especially Angels fans). These 3 cards make 95 cards for that PC, I'm thinking I might have to pick up 5 more on one of my next purchases just to hit the century mark.
Next up, Pudge. Out of these 3 Carlton Fisk cards, the last one also hits on the Vintage collection and of course, all 3 are in the White Sox collection. These 3 make 158 Fisk's.
Speaking of former Wolverines in the baseball collection, here's 3 more cards for the Larkin collection. These 3 put that PC at 203 cards. I'm surprised I didn't have them as they are 80's cards and those are usually pretty easy to pick up.

Sportlots - Tier 3 PC's, part 3
My last post of Tier 3 player collections. Whichever sellers I purchased from must not have had any more for these player collections as I didn't get 3 of any of them.
Even though this post is about the Steve Carlton cards, they both go to the Vintage collection and the Fleer goes to the Mike Schmidt collection as well. These 2 cards put the Carlton collection at 111 cards.
I only picked up 1 Johnny Bench and it's a newer one, as new as you can get here as I don't have any 2020 cards yet. This card puts that collection at 93 cards.
I also picked up one card of Ryan Zimmerman, this is my 108th card of Zimmy.
Next post, we'll start hitting the tier 2 collections.

Sportlots - Tier 3 PC's, part 2
I missed a day of posting, I was snoozing hard after sleeping to much over the weekend and then not enough on Sunday night. Either way, we're back to add the next post to my Tier 3 collections.
We'll start off with some Schmidt's. I'm not sure I've ever seen that first card before and I remembered having the whole set of 1989 Fleer. When I logged it though, I realized it is from the update set. These 3 give me 136 cards of him.
I love these because I remember collecting the stickers in the sticker books. When I saw them on Sportlots, I knew those were the 3 I was going to buy. They give me 65 for the Yaz collection.
