Hi all - my dad just arrived to spend Christmas with my grandmother, and he brought 30 loose packs of '90 Topps, plus a bunch of '90s that were already opened. In the stack of loose cards, there was a Thomas, but not the right one. Taking guesses on which stack has the NNOF. Also taking guesses on whether the gum will kill me. I'll bust these packs later tonight.

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    None, unfortunately. That card is quite rare.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    Believe me, I'm not holding my breath - I know the odds are impossibly long. A guy can have a little hope though, right? Maybe it won't be too much to hope for both a NNOF and a Bush?

    How can one pull that card? Does it come in wax, rack, and factory sets?

    I think it would be great to win a trip to 91 spring training. image

    I had my wife's family over last night and I gave her little brother a bunch of junk wax to open and there was a pack of 1978 Jaws 2 cards from a fun packs bag I busted a while ago.

    Anyhow, he opened the pack and my wife's older brother, who is 30 must have had too much wine. He said "I'll eat the gum." I told him it was from 1978 but he went ahead and tried it. He nearly puked on the floor of my office. It was hilarious. My father-in-law kept calling him a dumbass and the 11 year old brother thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen.

    I had always heard that this card was only found in factory sets from Sears I think or some other store that sold the sets in their Christmas catalog.

    ok, just got back from visiting Dad & Grandma (he's staying over there). Ripping now. Jordan, you've convinced me that the gum shall remain uneaten, although your gum was 12 years older.....nah.

    Started on the right-hand pile. Five cards in and I'm already ticked. Delino DeShields' skinny *** stares at me and reminds me of Pedro Martinez being shipped off to French Canada. image

    Pack 2 - bad collation. Already have dupes of the Eric Davis all-star and some dude named Juan Agosto.
    Pack 3 - meh.
    Pack 4 - see pack 3
    Pack 5 - Joey Belle. hee hee
    Pack 6 - Mitch Williams had a pretty sick chinstrap beard back in the day.
    Pach 7 - Chris Gwynn. Dodgers often seem to end up with the crappy brother (Wilton Guerrero, anyone?)
    Pack 8 - man, guys were sure skinny in 1990
    Pack 9 - Jim Rice makes his 3rd appearance.
    Pack 10 - OC Brett Butler. Kinda digging the All-Star cards, but have to say this: anyone that has ever thought the '75 set was too colorful/ugly better take another look at the '90 set. Acid musta made some sorta comeback at Topps HQ

    More later.

    What would the value be of a 90 F Thomas NNOF PSA 9 or PSA 10?

    Left pile this time

    Pack 11 - Biggio in catcher's gear, Melido Perez with a slammin' jheri curl
    Pack 12 - Willie McGee: if he had played in the NBA, he woulda been on the Celtics, who led the league in All-Ugly (Parrish, McHale, Bird, D. Johnson)
    Pack 13 - Bo Jackson RC, a really skinny Juan Gonzalez
    Pack 14 - Forgot that Bucky Dent once managed the Evil Empire
    Pack 15 - Benny Santiago - another formerly skinny dude
    Pack 16 - Omar Vizquel w/ the M's, Rock Raines (geez), deceased Giant Jose Uribe, David Wells (finally a player with some meat on his bones)
    Pack 17 - Alvaro Espinoza & Lee Guetterman - those were some lean years in the Bronx
    Pack 18 - yes! a 185-pound Bonds (he looks about 170-ish on the card)
    Pack 19 - One of my favorite baseball names, Chet Lemon
    Pack 20 - nuttin' much here

    I got back into collecting in 1990 and remember busting packs of this product. I remember how excited I was about cards again. They may not be worth much, but I felt like a kid again ( I was 34 in 1990) and it got me back in the hobby. But, oh I wish I woulda bought all those funny little tobacco cards that my local shop had. No one was interested in them. Everyone wanted Griffey, 1989 UD and Frank Thomas. He had binders of T206's and others that I didn't know of and can't remember what they were today. I know that at $5 a card, they were priced to high for players I didn't know. I prolly spent a grand on junk that year that iIve long since rid myself of, but I think I would kept the T206's. Live and learn. Well I'm off to Christmas dinner, Happy Holidays All from the Brennan Family.

    The 30-pack 1990 Topps rip is done. No Bush, no NNOF. I actually had fun looking over the various photos; I can't say that I've ever looked at the '90 set before. I bought mine complete and just put it away. The 28th pack of the rip had a Frank Thomas, alas with the name. Bunker, the third card of the fourth pack was Pedro Guerrero, but thanks for the guess - I think we all knew the proverbial snowball had a better chance.

    I was thinking that Melido Perez had a pretty sweet jheri curl. His brother Pascual owns him:
