I received my first order from COMC.com yesterday. My second order arrived a few weeks ago. I wrote about that on my Sportscaster blog since it contained mostly track and field cards.
I was close to finishing the 1961 Topps set in the 1980s. Now I've got a long way to go, but it is fun to have a project. I will try to grab all of the low-numbered commons before summer. If I get to a big show in Chicago or the National, I should be able to find some of the other cards I need in VG-EX condition without too much effort.
I am also going to work on the 1968 Topps baseball card set this year. Why? I think that I might have almost all of it, but I've never tried to find out. When making sets in the 1970s and 1980s, I ended up only going back to 1969.
Stop N Go Cowboys from 1979 and 1980 don't come around too much. These are also Xograph cards, and lots of them I see are curled.
Someone mentioned that COMC seemed like a card show. So true. It was so helpful to be able to grab lots of these cheap Kellogg's cards on my own time. When I go to a card show, I rarely have lots of time to dig for hidden cards.
I hope to use COMC again. I still need to find some affordable Johnny Bench cards (1975, 1976), most cards numbered 1 to 9 from 1974 and a few 1975 Jon Matlacks.
For years COMC was my goto source for cards. I just requested shipment for my inventory a few weeks ago and should receive it sometime in early March. Glad there isn't a six month shipping delay anymore.

ReplyDeleteI followed many comments from others about the delay and I waited for that time to decrease. I'm okay with waiting a month to get some cards, especially commons for sets.
