89 hoops

busting a case. so far opened 2 boxes - no robinson, bird, nor jordan all-star and only 1 jordan (damaged corner). is this normal collation????

i figured since it was a 300 card set, 2 wax boxes (1080 cards) would yield at least one of the cards mentioned above.


Thanks,

David (LD_Ferg)

    affirmitive on the series 1. $150. i'm going to be breaking more this weekend. if i have similar luck with 2 more boxes, i'm going to email the seller. would you do the same?

    Well if it came from a sealed case I'm not sure how much at fault the seller would be. Could just be a couple of bad boxes and it could pick up down the line as you open more.

    some boxes didn't have any Robinson's..other will have 2-3....he is however a shortprint (ie only series one...as are other cards from that set...they changed them when series 2 was released)

    The cards DO come in sequence...and being that you can see through the wrapper, they can be scanned or scammed for the stars. 10 years ago, someone MIGHT do that....today..why bother...

    If the case was sealed and legit..you'll be fine with it!!

    thanks. i'm getting ready to bust 2 more boxes and will keep you guys in the loop... i'm sure it's just a matter of collation.

    I will confirm that the series 1 Robinson was reported as a SP back when.

    I bought one box back in 92 - paid 39$ for it and got 2 Robinsons. Neither were perfectly centered.

    Good luck LD!
