YSL White Sox Checklist

I appreciate everyone trying to help me with figuring out the Yankee Stadium Legacy cards. Everything was helpful and had cool information, but wasn't exactly what I was looking for in my project.

At the end of the day, I had to go old school and do some serious sleuthing. After almost a week, I have come up with a card number list featuring only the games against the White Sox.

This was no easy task. I used a combination of looking at the games on the Baseball Almanac web site and eBay auctions. The Baseball Almanac site was very helpful. It contained vital information, such as year, team, final score and date. This made the task of completing the checklist slightly less than impossible.

On the other hand, most eBay sellers can suck my... Well, I won't get anal about it, but it's a crevice. That's all I'll say about that. A good number of cards were listed on eBay, but most of them were either "example" pictures, pictures of a huge stack of cards, two or three cards from a larger lot, or multiple cards crammed into a picture with the vital information blurred beyond recognition.

I do appreciate any eBay seller that takes the time to scan in the cards one or two at a time. I figured the hardest part to complete would be the thirties. Boy, was I wrong! The eighties were next to impossible. The hardest year was 1987. I have no idea why.

No cards... yet.

This was actually more interesting than I thought it would be. I was reminded that the White Sox were in New York at the time of the World Trade Center collapse. My mind unlocked other images of games past. It was kind of cool.

For anyone collecting only the White Sox cards of the Yankee Stadium Legacy set... you're welcome. For anyone collecting another team's cards from this set... good luck. You'll need it. The older the team is, the more difficult it will be. Yes, the World Series and playoff cards count. The biggest deterrent from a correct checklist is the non-regular season cards that are thrown into the mix. The majority of the time spent on this was checking pictures and scans of other cards to make sure my math was fine and there wasn't an oddball card thrown in.

OK, I'm going to fall down out of sheer exhaustion of brain power. Enjoy!
