1993 Topps Derek Jeter Rack Pack

Ive been collecting sealed boxes of 1993 Topps Series 1 to stash away for a while. Instead of buying a box of something new to quench my pack ripping needs , I decided to buy an unsealed rack box off of ebay.

I got the box with the intention of just ripping all the packs open to search for more Jeter RC's. Took a few minutes to convince myself to do so instead of just putting it on the shelf with the rest of the boxes.

Things were going great. lots of fun cards.

i made it through 11 packs out of the 24. to this point ive found 2 jeters which look REAL good. i need to look closer, but both are definitely gradable. in fact, all of the cards so far are centered really well and have fantastic corners.

ive been been checking the packs quickly before opening them "just in case". well...look what i found on the 12th pack

Those strange reddish marks are just my lights reflecting funny off the wrapper. ITS ANOTHER JETER ON THE BACK OF A PACK!!

Here is the back of a jeter card for reference

pretty freaking cool. i wish PSA could encapsulate these. i need to figure out a good way to protect this little guy. it matches my wax pack with jeter on the back. i just need a cello pack with jeter on the back now, lol.

ill probably just rip the other packs just for fun, but im not expecting much else since this is already the 3rd Jeter.

    That's awesome, congrats. I do the same thing when I rip boxes and have been able to find some cool packs:

    1987 O-Pee-Chee with Bonds showing
    1985 Leaf with Clemens
    1988 Leaf with Roberto Alomar
    1989 Donruss CANADIAN with Griffey Jr

    I've ripped about a case and a half of 1987 O-Pee-Chee and have gotten a pack with 22/27 HOFers showing. Might be the oddest set I've ever tried to put together. If anyone knows where I can find an 87 OPC pack with either Schmidt, Niekro, Ozzie Smith, Bruce Sutter or Rich Gossage showing, let me know. image
