Remember 1986 Sportflics #178: RC of Jose Canseco, Mike Greenwell, Danny Tartabull (also Billy Joe Robidoux, Mark Funderburk & Steve Lombardozzi)? Back in the late 80's to very early 90's we all thought that was going to be "the" card with 3 HOF RC's on one card. I remember feeling lucky to have bought one for $15. Gregg Jeffries 1989 Topps was going to the sky as well. At least I got to sell about 25 Kevin Maas 1990 Fleer for about $4 each in september/october 1990. The dealers at the shows would sell out, throw up their hands and cry "no mas" a la Roberto Duran fame (while spitting small chunks of a bacon egg and cheese bagel at you as I believe to be a dealer back then, you were required to weigh at least 300 pounds).

Duran never said no mas. Howard Casell the announcer said it. Duran said translated
"Im not fighting that clown anymore".

Wasnt he Matt's (the former NE QB) dad?
Does anyone have the Sportflics Canseco RC with the Jim Wilson instead of Mark Funderburk?
I'm looking for one.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.
I had the 1988 sportsflics set and some of the 1986 then lost them and a chunk of my collection to a fire in 08
what ?
that means they was a second print run ..like some here suspected

So..was the one with Jim Wilson ever in packs?

No, Howard Casell was Matt Cosell's dad. Sam Cassell is their cousin.
