Player Collections from the 15/$1 Box

These player stacks are from the 15/$1 box at the card show this past weekend. These are all players I collect, but at this point I pretty much just add then to my collection when I find them for a dime, or less.

Most of the Goldschmidt cards I find at these prices are of him with St. Louis. I've got most of his Diamondbacks cards that I come across in the dime boxes. For Harper I will probably have at least a couple of the cards already, but at a dime or less, it's not a big deal. When it comes to Piazza and Griffey, I will grab them if it doesn't look familiar, but I typically end up having at least half of the cards of these two.

Do you think cards will ever come in cereal again?

Yesterday I went to a card show and a card shop. I bought 936 cards. 792 of them came in the form of a 1991 Topps factory set.

Here are 26 more.

I know you can't see all 26, but there are 13 packs of 2002 Topps Post cards and each pack has two cards. Any idea why they have the round sticker on them?

I got the 13 packs for $2. After busting the packs and sorting them I have 17/30 with 9 doubles.

If anyone has any of the following for trade, please let me know.

#3 - Bernie Williams
#8 - Sean Casey
#11 Todd Helton
#12 - Chipper Jones
#13 - Frank Thomas
#23 - Jeremy Burnitz
#24 - Bobby Higginson
#27 - Greg Vaughn
#28 - Brad Radke
#29 - Mike Sweeney
#30 = Jeff Conine

If you happen to need any of the following just let me know.

#1 - Alex Rodriguez
#10 Jason Giambi
#15 - Carlos Delgado
#16 - Jeff Bagwell
#21 - Troy Glaus x2
#22 - Ryan Klesko

I got doubles of Luis Gonzalez and Mike Piazza, but I'm going to keep those for my player collections.

Dime Box Pick-Ups

I recently got some cards from Nick of the blog Dime Boxes and needed some cards to send him in return so I hit up the dime box at my LCS.

I found some cards for Nick and found a few cards for myself. One of the cards I got for myself is one that I remembered seeing on Nick's blog. It turns out Nick initially saw the card on Night Owl's blog.

Here are a few of my other dime box finds.

Cards from Work

I have a friend at work that's a big baseball fan. He's from Florida, so he likes the Rays and the D-Backs. We talk baseball and autographs frequently and he's recently started to get back into collecting cards. I've been able to give him a few cards as he starts his collection back up and today he returned the favor. He picked up this 2012 Topps Heritage Clubhouse Collection Justin Upton Jersey card for me on eBay and gave me a couple of Piazza cards as well. The Upton jersey card is awesome and off the top of my head, I don't think I have either of the Piazza cards, so those will go nicely in my collection! Thanks Joe!

Trade with The Angels, In Order

I had recently completed a trade with Tom from the blog, The Angels, In order, when he posted a Mike Piazza card that he had gotten from an unopened pack of 1994 Fleer Sunoco Atlantic cards that he had won on listia.com. I asked if it was for trade and he said it was. He sent it to me along with some D-Backs cards. Here is the Piazza and a few of the Diamondbacks cards that he sent me.

The photo on the Piazza card is awesome and it's from an obscure set that was only available when you purchased a certain amount of either Sunoco or Atlantic gas, so I'm pretty sure I don't already have it. I have pretty much put my Piazza collection on hold for the past several years, but I might start it back up again.

Next, a couple of current D-Backs, C.Y. and J-Up.

An Erubial Durazo Rookie Card.

Finally, a Matt Williams Heritage card
