YES!
@80sOPC I see a McGriff already,,,awesome! You should average 1.6 cards per pack and certainly enough to make a complete set. Good luck and thanks for sharing!
buying O-Pee-Chee (OPC) baseball
Yup got 2 Crime Dogs and two Big Cats.
As a Canadian and long time Expos fan, this set is cool in that it's a Canadian issue with the two big cards representing Canadian teams.
Some nicely centered cards!
The photos in that set are so weird. Seems like Donruss/Leaf only chose photos with the players’ faces in shadow.
The set is definitely strange. For the Leaf issue, it doesn’t have Canseco or Clemens, who has a card in 85 Leaf. He does have a Diamond kings.
Hey, nice box!! I always like leaf versions. I sure wish they would have included Canseco in that set.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Thank you for sharing!
I’ve never dipped a leaf box despite having a bunch of 85-87 stashed away.
The quality control vs cost making it a seemingly brutal proposition. That said, the card stock in 86D/L is pretty resilient and centering seems to the the main concern. Is that an accurate assessment?

Nobody is acknowledging the bottle of Nebbiolo as a great hit. Its perfect. You pull great cards you celebrate. You dont you drown your sorrows. But the cards are excellent. Might try that myself. Thanks for the idea. I bought an 85 Leaf box and the centering was pretty horrible. Edge chipping pretty terrible too. These look centered and sharp. Congrats.
Langhe Neb is fantastic.
NJ - centering was pretty good on this box and not many issues with edge chipping on the boarder. 85 is definitely harder to get nice cards.
