I’ve always loved that 02 Superstars Brady card. The underdog kid in disbelief after winning his first super bowl. A personal fave when I collected Brady. Pulled it from a pack myself.
Completes my Griffey Score base card run from 90-98. My first factory set was 1990 Score, so Score holds a little place in my heart. 1998 is the last year of Score cards. Pop 6, 1 higher.

this is a first for me…how is the fritsch sticker over the bbce sticker?
does fritsch send some of their stuff for bbce to wrap then sell?
Most of the stuff is consigned to Collect Auctions and yes, sent directly by Fritsch to Steve
very cool. havent bought anything from fritsch in years. actually surprised fritsch doesnt have their own wrapping & label for such things. not sure the recent opinion, but in my mind if it was purchased directly from fritsch, it was pretty much iron clad. and conversely, thats a pretty big nod for fritsch to send stuff to bbce to wrap for them.
@UFFDAH LOVE. I tried to buy one of those. Guess I didn’t try hard enough.

I was not aware that 1975 topps baseball was issued in series. I thought that series issues stopped after 1973, at least for baseball.
It was not issued in series. Just some vending and cut card cases were filled only from certain sheets.
I've seen this topic come up before, and I find it interesting that Topps would produce 2 sheets, when combined, that would exclusively have numbers 1-264. The cards on the sheets are not numbered consecutively 1-132 and then 133-264, as can be seen from the cards on my Aaron Highlights/Brett sheet.
.
Accounting for 3 additional sheets, how was the rest of the set distributed in vending? Did they offer vending boxes with the remaining 265-660, or a box with just numbers 265-528, and the vending boxes with the 5th sheet only, containing numbers 529-660? Anyone know?
The definition of “basic” in modern player registries always perplexes me. For 1986 and before, it was Topps, Donruss, Fleer. That makes sense to me. When Finest came out, none of us thought it was basic. With that said, Finest cards are usually gorgeous and yours is no exception!

FINALLY found a full box 36 packs unsearched, sitting in a warehouse for decades. Could afford it, as it wasn't found by someone else and had it BBCE wrapped yet. Notice the condition of the box! Mint like box! Packs are mostly PSA 7, with a few worse, and maybe a few better.

Can we see your Reggie run? It seems that you're collecting 10s (dimes)!
Sometimes a "like" is not enough. Sometimes is also needs a DAYUMM!!
