FS: 89 Hoops II boxes

ldferg

Picked up a case of 89 Hoops II last week. After a brutal 15-box spree, no Robinson #138. With all of the sequence changes throughout, even a pack searcher is bound to miss a few.

I also have hit 4 of the Pistons champion card. I'm not sure how rare this card is, but 4 out of 15 boxes.

If anyone wants to share in my pain, I have 5 more boxes at $12 each (includes shipping) - haha.

The robinson is always the first card showing through the White wrapper. Never anywhere else. Its the easiest box to search for this 1 key card set.

Looks like card #138 is not included in Series II boxes. Lesson learned: research before starting a thread. haha.

#138 is not included in Series 2 packs, only in Series 1. However, it is not correct that it's always the first card showing in a pack.

Correct. It is not always on the top of the pack. I opened many packs back then and got plenty in the middle..............even though I did just sell one with him on top on ebay.
