Trip to my LCS, part 3

Final post of my most recent trip to my LCS.  The store has a bin where there are old packs of cards from the 80's, 90's and 00's of baseball, football, and basketball.  I can't resist this bin, because I remember the days of opening some of these packs of cards.  I sometimes get something I can use in my personal collection, but most of the cards go to my Zistle account and are available for trade.

Pack 1 was a pack of 1988 Fleer.  I really didn't get anything special, but I'll post what I thought was neat.  Remember these?

 

I have never seen this subset before!

Token Royal

Pack 2 was a pack of 1991 Upper Deck.  Again, nothing too special.  Some catchers doing some catcher-type things:

A couple of Cubbies!

Pack 3 was a pack of 1992 Stadium Club Series 1.  Here's Jerald Clark.  Looks like he's trying to kick Gregg Jefferies.

Wally Joyner

 

I got a total of 3 Lance Parrish cards in these packs, one in each pack.

Trip to my LCS, part 2

Part two of my LCS trip.  I have never bought a pack of the Heritage Minor League Baseball before, but I saw packs for sale, so I decided to try it out.  I do like it better than Bowman, simply because I mostly use minor league cards for TTM autos.  It's much easier to send out a Heritage card that I don't have to prep like I have to prep the Bowman cards.  Here's a sample of what I picked:

Pack 1: A couple of Cubs prospects and a Royals prospect.

Pack 2:  Heritage cover boy Carlos Correa

Huge hit!  Numbered 18/50!  This stuff hardly ever happens to me!

Pack 3:  Nothing special as far as my collecting needs, but some prospects anyway

Trip to my LCS, part 1

I got off work early the other day, and I decided to make a trip to the local LCS since I was in the area and it was open.  The store recently moved, so I was eager to see the new place.  They did a great job.  The store is bigger, floor plan is more open, and didn't smell so musty!  I always get a good deal (or at least I think so) when I go, so I'll show you what I got.  This will be a three part post.  I spend a total of $20.00 on this trip to my LCS.

Cubs for my collection:

These George Brett's were in the $1.00 bin!  I got home and realized that I already have the 1991 Upper Deck, so that's now on my trade list on Zistle.

Ike Davis PC:

Cubbies PC:

Hosmer PC.  I also bought a duplicate here of the Hosmer/Belt.  I put that for trade on my Zistle page, too.

Royals collection:

 

2013 Topps Chrome

In the past, I haven't been a fan of Topps Chrome.  I really don't buy the product.  However, I really like the 2013 Topps design this year, and with the teaser photos Topps was posting on Twitter, I decided to buy this year.  I was at Wally World the other day, and saw a 3-fer pack that includes the 3 orange refractors.

Orange refractors:

Pack 1:  Not bad.   A Carlos Santana to add to the catchers collection.  I've been trying to decide if I want to start collecting Paul Goldschmidt cards or not.  If I do, this will be a nice one to add to the collection.

Pack 2:  A couple of rookies and a Cespedes 1972 Topps.  I have also been trying to decided if I want to start collecting Cespedes, as well.

Pack 3:  Winner winner chicken dinner!  A Trout Refractor, and two player collection Royals!  Score!

Overall, I like the cards I bought, and I might buy some more, but I will not try to complete the set.  Good job Topps.

Trade with BucCollector

Another first time trade, this time with BucCollector.  Here's what I got:

For my Joba collection:

Cubbie!  (Bad cropping on my part!)

A couple of mid-80's 'stashes for my 1987 Donruss set:

Trade with olerud363

Recently competed a trade with olerud363 through Zistle.  I got some really great stuff!

One for my player collection, the other for my 2013 Topps Series 2 set:

Player collections!

Royals!

 Cubbies!
