While I have not been trading much lately, I have found time to fill in some holes in my collection another way. I wish it was going to card shows, but I have not been able to hit any up since my run of three weeks in a row in early February. I have gone the cheap router and placed a Sportlots order. I buy cards from one seller, making sure to buy the maximum number of cards for $4.50-5.00 shipping.
My latest order came from a seller who offered 35 cards for $4.50 shipping. I lost count and ended up with 34. The total for the lot was just over $13.00.
A large portion of the order was these 1984 Topps Nestle cards. They are identical to base Topps except for the Nestle logo in the upper right corner.
These are the two cards that started my order. These completed my 1988 Fleer Glossy team set.
I also completed 1992 Score Traded team set.
Another completed team set from 2000 SP Top Prospects. Love the early Ankiel card.
I could not pass up these oddball Baseball Wit cards. I was surprised to see they had logos on the uniform.
These 2014 GQ minis included 2 photo variations, the Gibson and Musial.
The final two cards include a 2022 Stadium Club Chrome base card and a 2017 Topps Bunt blue parallel.
Overall, I am pleased with the lot. It was great to finish three team sets. I also managed to stay in second place in the Cardinals team collector rankings on TCDB. Kerry is going to overtake me very soon.
A. Nice Nestle lot. I think I only have 2 or 3 singles from that set in my collection. Maybe one of these days I'll build the A's and Padres team sets.
ReplyDeleteB. #2 is very impressive. Even if Kerry passes you... it's still pretty cool to be up there in the TCDB rankings.
