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.

It's been awhile

Today's post is a guy that I haven't added a card to his collection since January of 2019. Another reason why me quitting Ebay and buying on Sportlots has been a positive for my collections.


It's only 1 card and it's only my 5th of Jake but at least I just got it this month so it hasn't been sitting around for awhile before I got it posted.

Hail to Cesar

So I finally finished logging in my latest box from Sportlots, as well as some cards from Fred, the card show and some customs I received and I added them to the list to random and I realized how big the list was getting so I made a list of all my collections and slapped a date of the last time that collection was posted. Also marked it if I had one to post to that collection so I'll post the collection that's been the longest since a post. I'll drop in new collections as well so I can slap a date on those. I realize most of you could care less how I come up with the posts, but there you go anyways.

So today, I'm going with one of the new PC's. I've had a couple of these cards since July so you can see why I'm going with the new format.

These are the 2 I got back in July from Sportlots. They were my 1st 2 of Cesar but since then, I've added 2 more.

I picked up these 2 at the card show in Shipshewana on Labor day. Both of these came out of a dime box that I picked up a bunch of stuff from.

4 cards and 2 photos but at least 2 are Michigan uni's. I believe he is the Saints starting center this year.

Ignas Magic

Sluggo and I hit a card show in Kalamazoo today. It was at the KWings (hockey) Event Center. It was alright, wasn't anything spectacular but we picked up a few things for the store and I spent $20 on some cards for myself. I spent most of that $20 at the same seller that I spent most of my money at in Shipshewana a few weeks ago at that show. There was another show in Grand Rapids we talked about going up to afterwards but we decided against it. I came home and watched the Michigan game while I started logging in my cards for this past week.

Speaking of Michigan, today's post is another alumn who made the NBA a couple years ago and is still there.


Ignas is signed with the Magic right now as this card is 2019-2020. It is only my 6th card of Ignas but I do have at least 1 auto of him. This was the usual Sportlots pick-up. I wish he would have stayed at Michigan a little longer but that seems to be the way it goes with the basketball team anymore. You get them for a year or two then they head off to the NBA.
