I know this doesn't mean much to the guys that collect the vintage unopened material, but since I collect factory sealed boxes which depict Cal Ripken Jr., it took me sometime to find this 1995 Fleer Skybox E-Motion one:

    great score!
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    Doesn't matter one bit or minimize your collecting interest. It means something to you and that's what it's all about.

    Congrats on snagging it!

    I collect Canseco stuff and I get excited when I pick up a rack or cello pack if I didn't own before so just because its modern or maybe it doesn't have a lot of value amongst some of the high rollers around here doesn't mean it's not special still. Congrats on your pick up and I'm glad to see you got something that you needed for your PC.

    Very cool pick up. I like how the printing on the cello wrap makes it look like he is winking.

    Cool image of Ripken there. Congrats!

    Very cool, I've got a couple Larkin ones to track down. Amazingly difficult to find some of them.

    I love the 1990's product, especially from 1994-1997. It seems like the companies spent time making quality inserts. After jerseys and autographs started to become more prevalent, the companies seemed to pull back on the insert quality.

    Is this the next unopened boom? The print runs were down relatively speaking.
