Opened a box of Wild Card jumbos in the early 90s that was suppoused to have 3 inserts per pack instead it had 3 Base cards and the rest were inserts.
<< <i>1991 Fleer Ultra Football box. 12 Ricky Watters rookies and 1 Favre.

Wasnt that a promotion with Wild Card?? Some boxes were considered 'hot boxes'??

That's funny. I ripped a box of 1991 Stadium Club on here awhile back and ended up with zero Favre and zero Watters. Got like 6 Jay Novaceks.
Also busted a 92-93 TSC Basketball box and got SIX Shaq RCs.
Unique Chicago Cards
Wrestling Cards
thats really bizzare coallation.
Bought a box of 91 Stadium Club Football from bbceexchange, top four packs 4 Joe Montana base cards. Made me feel good because at least I am even more confident they were unsearched as those would have been one to open back in the day.

So would I.
Those cards (green borders) are MOTHERS! I think Fleer had mult. baboons insert them into the racks.
ALWAYS Looking for Chris Sabo cards!

<< <i>I recently opened a rack box of 87 topps baseball. I got 21 Cansecos... a few packs in I noticed that each pack had a little sticker on it "Canseco", "Mattingly" etc. >>
thats interesting. sounds like you got a box from a sequence master who had those Cansecos squirrelled away to retire with one day.

You did not buy them from Ed Berry did you? I know he used to have those lists and would raid all the rack packs of the dealers at his shows.

Once again, this is the fool that accused me of being a thief and disgrace to the hobby and tried to have me arrested when I was 17 for trying to sell a 1955 Bowman Mays that he said I stole from him. He dropped the charges when he found it in his shop. Remember him sorting through all my early 80's racks and cellos at card shows. Wish I would have robbed him now.

+1 for completely random Office Space quote. Can never have too many of those.

It wasn't totally random--I was implying that Milton was the one doing the collating for 1992 Fleer. That is, until he mysteriously stopped receiving his paycheck.

I think i was getting anywhere between 3-6 per box. I know i got 7 bagwells in 8 boxes. Probably 4 thomas's. But 0 of lots of guys
I bought packs at the PX with my son - we had a good time - I think it's one of the things I remember most about the '92 collecting year.
I still rememeber the first one he pulled - he went nuts! I still have the card.

Funny you mention this, because my son is now 4 1/2, and while I have no personal interest in busting modern boxes I can easily see myself going all-in on unopened modern stuff 3-5 years from now if my son decides to get active in the hobby. Not because I give a damn for the rip, but because no price would be too high to see my son's face if he managed to pull a huge cut auto or a high dollar 1/1 of a major player.

Yes Boo - it's well worth it and you'll probably do it.
But, I promise - it'll take way less than a 1/1 to excite the mind of an 8 yr old - you'll have the time of your life!

I'm sure you're right, Mike. My kid's a little weird, so it's not entirely clear that he'll be into cards, but if he does turn out enjoying the hobby I'm really looking forward to getting back in to the box-busting side of things.
