Got an ebay order in a vintage Football Card Game circa 1950s Odd shapped cards the box is pretty beat and has some tape on it, the cards are in OK to almost Excellent (they have age marks on them that I'd probably call them less than Excellent but the seller described them as "Excellent". I think there maybe some cards missing based on searching and finding another set on a different auction site I've never heard of. I got the set mostly for the "hey cool it's a vintage game" but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it.

Got a box and a package both from Ebay auctions.
First the Box:
From a seller, who if I recall correctly is a regular on the Ebay Sports Card community board I got 3 vending boxes -500 count.

1988 Topps Baseball Vending Box
1989 Topps Baseball Vending Box
1990 Topps Baseball Vending Box

I've gone through the 1988 & 1990 boxes lots of good cards to fill in the gaps in my collection from those years. The 1990 box had a handful of cards that were slightly miscut or off-centered but they are acceptable only one or two of them were borderline replace or not. The 1988 box didn't have any miscuts, at least not any obvious ones. Miscuts are supposedly common for these types of boxes as are duplicates. The 1990 has plenty of duplicates. I haven't inventoried yet to see how many dupes. The 1988 didn't seem to have any dupes, or at least not many that I might have noticed. Both boxes had at least 2 of the checklists, the 1988 had 4 I think. I think I need all the checklists, not sure as I said I need to inentory them. I have not opened the 1989 box yet.

From another seller completely I got two cards. Actually they are the same card just two variations (the regular base and a parallel).

Yesterday Thursday 8 Nov 2012 I received one lone card from an Ebay purchase I had made. It is one of the many Mascot cards I had ordered. This one came from a seller in Canada (I didn't realize it was a Canadian seller until after I had bid, fortunately I don't mind buying from or selling to Canada)

Minor League 2002 Multi-Ad Sports 31 Edmonton Trappers Mascot Homer - Not just a "ball-head" he is a "ball-body" mascot,

1988 Donruss Baseball: Diamond Kings 1-27 (Checklist is card #27 as usual) Mark McGwire A's to Cal Ripken Jr. Orioles

One of the sportlots dealers sent a stupid bonus card a Nolan Ryan Mets "The Superstar Zone" card circa 1992. I already have a card from this practically worthless set Frank Thomas White Sox. I swear these cards look like they are amateur made 1980s products.

Finally the last 13 cards are Mascot cards these I got from the same seller (they goofed and sent me the wrong card on one of them, hopefully I'll get the correct card) the prices ranged from $2- $3 (I had gotten some other mascot cards a few days ago that ranged from $1 to $5. Some of these will be featured sometime on my blog captkirk42.blogspot.com in a Mascot Monday post. The Nationals related ones will eventually be mentioned on my curlywcards.blogspot.com blog.
