    Where did you buy it?

    Sweet! Hope you have good luck. I struck out with one on Monday. A couple Griffeys but all black Johnsons (is it bad that I laughed when I typed that?) and black box Ripkens.

    Well through about 6 packs one Griffey, a BB Ripken and a black-out Johnson. So may just leave the rest sealed

    Which black box Ripken? Is it the jagged white line one?

    How about Brookens/Heath's - that seems to be a good sign of what's to come. If they're corrected, you're probably not going to get much.

    nope..

    I have only seen one Heath Brookens so far and it is on a top of one I have not opened yet.

    A few years ago I bought a factory set case wondering if I'd get lucky, but all Ripkens were Black Box. This was long before I was on this forum. I would have probably asked 1989FBRC and he would have said "DUH, YOU'LL GET BLACK BOXES!". Were any of the FFs distributed in Factory Sets? I still pulled all of the (Black) Johnsons, Griffeys, Sheffields, and other Stars & HOFers. Is there anyone interested in what's left over? All commons. Still in the factory set boxes and main box. It's heavy, and it's taking up prime closet space! image

    Yeah, Almost 100% they all have BBox. A few sellers have said in their listing you could get any version and when I used to ask them, (to get opinions/knowledge, as Beckett stated they were most likely BBox but I wanted to get more confirmation) most were unaware they were packaged at the end of the run and others thought I was lying to them for whatever reason.

    On a side note, I think Bill (don't call him Billy) was a heck-of-a defensive second baseman. He couldn't hit his way out of a paper bag, but I used to love watching him in the field. He made some incredible plays!
