Let's do this! Using 'NEW MATH" When does 1 equal 3 and then 541?

 Let's do this! My last order from Sport Lots rather I should say my shipment from them had 3 orders. Most of the order of 541 cards were for my birthday binders (that rabbit hole I went down). There were some Braves of course and Elvis as well as a whole bunch of Star Wars (151 of them).


This go around I have scanned the cards by the seller. This way you can seek them out if you like. I will highlights pros & cons of each.



cot315ct: Because I use box shipping most of the sellers I buy from have zero cost to ship to box. Some have a very tiny ship to box rate. I "think" this guy was one of the super cheap ones. I don't order from him a lot so I don't remember for certain.





Both of the scans above came from inserts2 who I order from every time. He uses the zero to box rate. One con that I have is he goes on vacation often. Because my orders sit for a long time before I ship to my box not a big deal for me. Always packs the cards nicely.



lugnut80: another zero to box and pretty solid all around. (does auctions too).




ordner5x: another one I use a lot with zero to box.




uncorked: another regular with zero to box. also does auctions.




These were all singles from different sellers with zero to box or maybe .25-.30.





Here I forgot who these came from but my note says what they are and were new to my Elvis binder.


Last up is one of our former bloggers: AdamPark




I got 151 cards for 3 different Star Wars Chrome Galaxy sets. I scanned just one card from each of the sets. What I did do is jot down the before and after stats.


2021: Before I had 6/100. Now I have 73/100.

2022: Before I had 15/100. Now I have 88/100. I need the following 12 cards to finish it.

6, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, 45, 65, 94, 97, 98, 100.

2023: Before I had 50/100. Now I have 62/100.

That covers the entire shipment as I did not scan any of the birthday binder additions. I have entered most of them and updated my TCDB stats for them. I still need to do 7/26 cards. I have stalled on those as I need to go get some smaller binders.

  1. None of those sportlots sellers seem familiar to me, but that doesn't mean I haven't ordered from them before, they just don't stick in my head. (I don't really have "favorites" when it comes to online shopping).

  2. Very nice Braves cards and solid progress on your Star Wars sets. Even on my birthday today I didn't add to my Birthday Binder. Enjoy it all!
