Vacation day from work + rain + no real chores =

Box rippin' time.

Today's victim was a 1989 Fleer Cello Baseball box purported by the seller (Dugout Wax on eBay) to be in the first run, thus containing all our favorite variations.

The first notable card I pulled was Randy Johnson. It was the common completely blacked out version, which immediately gave me a bad taste. I was certainly gearing up for a nastygram to Dugout. I figured I might as well finish the box.

With about five packs to go, I landed on Billy Ripken. It was the "FF" version. And in great condition. Landed two Griffeys as well.

After the box was complete, I found an article that the first Johnson versions were pulled quickly and could be found in Ripken "FF" boxes. So I was satisfied with that.

Here is a tip of the cap to Dugout Wax for an accurately described box. Well done. Will certainly use you again.
