Another Mystery Box

The first time I bought a large lot of cards was a lot of fun to dig through.  The latest purchase that I made consists of around 3000 cards from the overproduction years of 87-91.  The box may contain cards from other years but the bulk is prime time junk wax.  This is going to be very enjoyable for me to skim through.


Some collectors may be able to tell which sets are in this box based on the color pattern of the tops of the cards.  Many collectors have seen a box like this since the late 80s and some may even have a box like this stashed in a closet never to be seen again.  A lot like this set me back a whopping five bucks.  This same mix of cardboard will give me hours of fun checking out.

I will post some random, neat looking cards as I skip through stacks from this box.  The contents of this box will probably get me to figure out another Top Ten Countdown at the end of my search.


Get ready for some awful mustaches and stupid haircuts courtesy of the 80s.  This is going to be a blast from my childhood.

Looks like a metric ton of 1998 Topps to go along with a smattering of 1991 Donruss, some 89 Bowman, and handful of 1989 Fleer

Goodness, that's way too much '88 Topps.

Of course any amount of '91 Donruss is too much.

Looks like a ton (OK maybe only 1/10 a ton) of fun.

I spy some '91 Fleer!

I'd have a ton of fun going through a box like that.

Awesome! Sounds like some quality Saturday afternoon entertainment. Hopefully there are some hidden treasures in the box.
