Pakage 2: 22 vintage cards from auctions shipping was $8.52 robbery since they are auctions and Sportlots doesn't usually combine shipping for auctions. It is better to buy from the stores. The two 1965 cards were 75¢ the rest of the cards including the two lots of eight 1967 Topps cards were all 25¢ I think the 1965 cards were upped by the same buyer it might have been a shill but I have bought from this seller before so might have just been a coincidence that the same buyer attempted to get the two cards for 50¢

ON Tuesday 05 Sep 2017: I got 3 envelopes/packages all from Sportlots auctions So I don't need to mention where they came from. Most were the standard opening 25¢ bid. Even though at least one package was a PWE for simplicity I will call all 3 a "package" even if none of them actually were a true package. Actually I think one was a cardboard envelope like you would mail CDs or "floppy discs" in a small square "photograph" envelope I guess.

Package 1: 7 cards 2 auctions 1 single football and 1 lot of 6 baseball cards. Both auctions bid was the standard 25¢ bid Shipping for all was $3.54

1968 Topps Football: 110 Norm Snead Eagles shown in Skins uniform
1974 Topps Baseball: 6 card White Sox lot
46 Pat Kelly
357 Buddy Bradford
440 Jim Kaat
462 Luis Alvarado
519 Bill Sharp
NNO Chicago White Sox Team Checklist unmarked miscut next card can start to be seen at bottom edge, from back it appears it was the Cardinals Team Checklist

Package 2: 3 card lot $5.50 plus $3.50 shipping
Kirk Cousins Rookie Cards Redskins
2012 Limited Football: 180 Phenom #230/299
2012 Topps Platinum Football: 104
2012 Topps Turkey Red Football: 63

The Turkey Red card was the card I got the lot of 3 for. I wasn't sure if I had the other two or not, and didn't care that much so long as I got the Turkey Red

BONUS CARD Used as safety padding (along with a blank white decoy on the other end of the card "sandwich")
2017 Panini Donruss Elite Football: 139 Cales Brantley RC Browns #498/499

Special Edition: 3 card Mail Day plus an in person 4 binder collection Haul

ON Friday 01 Sep 2017:
I got a special haul of cards. To back up slightly For a few years now on the First Friday of each month I get together with some friends at their house and a mutual friend joins us. Their oldest son, one of two, who is in his early to mid 30s now used to collect trading cards. Not sure if the other son collected or not. So what seems like just a couple of years ago, is actually 4 years ago, they gave me the bulk of their son's cards from around the typical junk wax years Mostly early 1990s. I blogged about it here. I don't know if the son has even thought about his old hobby, or as I said back in that post if he is even aware that his old collection is gone, now completely gone. Anyway with that first haul I was told there might be some more cards, but they weren't sure, about 2 years ago a binder or two showed up, and to my surprise a few weeks ago the "final" batch was uncovered and given to me over this Labor Day weekend. A healthy mix of baseball and football cards were in three 3 inch binders. Plus there was a thinner binder. I originally thought of it as a "Trapper Keeper", but this thing is just a 1 inch binder with a Velcro flap. This smaller binder held some non-sport cards. To be exact it has an incomplete set of 1994 Fleer Ultrra Beavis and Butthead cards. Hahahahahaha. I didn't do a complete count, but they are organized by number and there was even a "Cards Needed" checklist on a piece of notebook paper. Not sure if I've going to try to complete the set or not. Over the years I have thought about it.

One time I used to have a nine-card promo sheet of the set from one of the Non-Sport Card Magazines (I think it was Card Collector's Price Guide) that would often include those 9 card promo sheets I ended up selling it on Ebay some years ago. That would have been a nice compliment to the set if I had ever pursued it.

Also there was a 25 sheet pack of 9 pocket binder pages from Mega Cards with the free Conlon Collection card in it. This one has a 1992 colorized #12 Carl Hubbell card. Moving on.

Saturday 02 Sep 2017:
Mail Day: 1 PWE 3 cards Sportlots auction all three for 25¢ each plus $3.37 shipping
1957 Topps Baseball: 158 Curt Simmons Phillies
1959 Topps Baseball: 498 Dick Hyde Senators

Hey that is one card for my Strive For '65 Set Build
