    LOL - I was complaining about $300-400 price for 1988-89 Fleer Wax back in 2009. Steve's Buy price is $800 now. Interesting, sets on ebay still selling for $40-50, but wax boxes selling for 3 times as much.

    This thread is classic and you get two for the price of one although Lee did his best to keep it on point.

    I had tears in my eyes after reading this.

    It had to have been an accident that the MJ card was mixed in. Simple mistake. >:)

    Did Allen ever get his Ted Williams pack? lol

    I was curious to see if the OP posted here again after this. He did. His last thread was rather amusing and should be considered Part 2 to this thread.

    That's a bold statement. Great thread but back in day we had so many. I think since it was more lenient we could get away with more BS/FUN!

    I forgot about this thread. If I recall correctly, the OP had a full wax box of 86 Fleer but cherry picked the packs with the Jordans and tried to sell the rest of the box on these boards, and added a Jordan to a pack where a Jordan was not supposed to be found in order to dupe unsuspecting buyers of thinking that they could still pull a Jordan from a pack.

    An elaborate scam, but thankfully the good detectives on this boards blew the whistle before any damage could be done.

    when someone leaves you an el oh el a baker's dozen years later, you know it was a quality post. i did that twice just now.

    "Bobby, I'm asking you man to man that you don't turn this thread into a typical Bobbyw dumpsterfire. There are some threads that should be sacred and not be sullied by the ramblings of a crazy person with no sense of humor or ability to detect sarcasm who takes every comment in the forums as a personal attack. I beg that you please allow this glorious thread to stand on its own original merits. Thank you."
