So I buy a 1982 Topps football wax box and it didn't go so well. One Taylor RC but the corners on most of the cards were not anything special, terrible centering. So I went to baseball.
Started with an '87 Leaf/Donruss box. Lessons to be learned for newbies. Always make sure you know what the hell you are buying. I start opening the packs and quickly realize I have no chance at a Bonds because none of the cards goes beyond 280. Apparently this is a series 1 and 2 and I got 1. Couple of Maddux, McGwire etc. Lesson learned!
So we went to '87 Fleer box and that produced nothing. Was a little discouraged.
Next was '85 Fleer. Pack after pack and nothing but finally a clemens and puckett in one pack.
Ripped into '83 Topps vending box and got a Boggs, sandberg.
Last was '82 Fleer. Found a Ripken near the end even though it's off center it was worth it and fun. Already wondering what to get next.
Hopefully the scans will show up and I won't have to try to upload them fifty times.

HUH????
These are not put out in series. Cards are numbered to 264 and Bonds is card 219.
Suggestion. If you don't have one pick up a book like the Standard Catalog Of Baseball (heck even and old one) so that you will know exactly what cards are available in any given product.
And looks like you did pretty good. Can't tell how the corners are but the centering on the 83's look really good.
