Slacking

Since I've been slacking on my posts, I'm going to combine a couple of pickups from sorting because I've done it the last couple of weeks. Plus, I have to get through some posts to show you a surprise card that I got in the mail last week.

We're going with a lots of photos, a little words kind of post.

We'll start off with this random vintage collection card that I found sorting. Not that Rickey Henderson is random but he is a list player and I did do a couple of small boxes of putting list players together.

This card puts the 1982 Topps set at 92.6% complete. I only need 59 cards to finish it.

2 more list players and 2 more PC's.

One last tier 3 player. This isn't a list players but I did find it sorting other stuff.

Next up is some team cards.

I got a decent stack of Sox cards but I'm only showing a couple of scans. These players are mostly guys I have over 50 cards of, plus Crochet who is on the team currently and I like him and an auto that the LCS owner gave me when I walked in.

I also got some Bowman color Sox to add.

I like Colas as well and I threw in the blue Benintendi.

Since we're on the Sox, we'll go to Tier 2 as most of them are current or former Sox players.

I picked up these 3, 2 Eloys and a Moncada. The Moncada is the red parallel.

Next up, Tier 2 Michigan

A couple of former Wolverine baseball players.

Lots of football up there, including my first Jalen Harrell and 5 more of the HOFer Woodson.

I also got lots of basketball.

Lots of great pickups the last couple of weeks while sorting. I also crossed the 1,000 cards added to the collection so far this year.
