Most of the ones I own came via trades with other bloggers.<br /><br />I have no idea how you keep a pack stash like that. I'd bust all those in a wide-eyed, one-night frenzy if something like that was in my house!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-33032141043801978792017-09-09T11:12:23.707-04:002017-09-09T11:12:23.707-04:00Blogger-inspired shopping, I love it! And you know...Blogger-inspired shopping, I love it! And you know I'm all about buying cards and memorabilia I had as a kid. Never had these though.. perhaps I was too "mature" for them, as a 12 year old. I think the super premium cards of that time may have turned me off to fun products like this. And I agree with Joe, the cartoonish cards and the real-action photos dont mix well. Maybe the cartoon cards should have been an insert set?<br /><br />Your wax pack set up is awesome, I wish I had the discipline to do that. I actually tried, when I was about 15 or 16 - but those half-opened boxes didnt last more than a few months. Perhaps I'll try again one day.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268829182522679026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-75010594348998543732017-09-09T07:19:14.246-04:002017-09-09T07:19:14.246-04:00Great post.

I wish they would have done a set similar for hockey - I would have been so into it, then and now.<br /><br />I can't believe the amount of wax you have stashed in your office; it certainly does look like a small card shop. I wish I had the willpower to withhold opening up every pack that comes into my grips.Coast To Postshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11472349342853837560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-26753445898563675872017-09-09T01:59:15.737-04:002017-09-09T01:59:15.737-04:00Happy belated birthday!

That being said I probably would have avoided them then, but seeing that Gooden was too much to resist now. The checklist shows several more Mets but 4 packs in and I haven't seen any. I have managed 3 dupes so far though, hopefully that trend breaks and I can get at least one set, with dupes of all the Mets of course! Nice to see I wasn't the only one that had to get some. Wonder if Fuji knows that while he inspires kids during the day he inspires grown men at night?Concrete Card Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193427178003093352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-37250583736269593652017-09-08T20:12:35.677-04:002017-09-08T20:12:35.677-04:00I was 26 when this set came out, and I really didn...I was 26 when this set came out, and I really didn't like these at all when they came out, but I've warmed to them some over the years. I like the backs, but there's something about combining the cartoons and the photos that just seems off to me... especially when it's a photo head and a cartoon body. I *do* like the design used for that Scott Erikson, and I see the Doc Gooden card on the box itself and I think "That's a nice-looking card, why do I not have that one yet?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-87539685251932727452017-09-08T18:01:43.296-04:002017-09-08T18:01:43.296-04:00I think it's a fun set.

I like your "store display". My pack stash has lost some, particularly the more valuable boxes, but gained some as well. I'm planning to take some new photos soon. Here's what it looked like four years ago:<br />http://canthavetoomanycards.blogspot.com/2013/11/do-you-have-pack-stash.htmlHackenbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15507810776309048794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-17625493185984801772017-09-08T15:31:45.118-04:002017-09-08T15:31:45.118-04:00Very cool.

I was too old to get into these cards when the came out, but can appreciate them now.<br /><br />I've got a blank back of the McGriff card I bought from the Topps Vault. Seems like I'm missing the point buying a relatively very expensive version of one of these cards.. lol.<br /><br />That's a great mini card shop you've got going there! I've got a small handful of junk packs I've gotten in trade that are sitting around waiting for a rainy day pack war. Plus I've got my "Black Friday" box stockpile that I ration out over the year.defgavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338984361942309651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-91917513712179599792017-09-08T14:59:37.442-04:002017-09-08T14:59:37.442-04:00Oh man, I forgot all about those.
