    Here are some of my past submitted cards from WALGREENS Boxes.
    Some not necessarily high valued but awesome for my
    PC!


    Here are two more, right before they were shipped from GAMESTOP.
    Unfortunately, resulting in low grades.
    Bonds 6/ McGwire 6

    This one...
    Probably my favorite!
    Despite the grade.
    Bruce's 2nd Year Card.

    He was my best player way back then, 1978
    Bruce was

    UNHITTABLE!

    Nobody could handle his
    "Split Fingered Fastball"!
    First of its kind!
    <3B)
    Next...
    Some potential future WALGREENS pulls to be sent off!
    Couple off the tip of my head right now!
    Of course,





    ALL pulled from the
    WALGREENS boxes!
    😆
    And many, many more possible candidates!
    Thanks guys!
    ;)

    Oh...
    Just thought of this!
    😆
    About WALGREENS Products!
    Besides the
    "Collector's Edge"
    Baseball Mixed cards I've been choosing more times than not.
    These...

    But,
    There are these too!

    BOWMAN CHROME
    And YES!
    Very cheap as well.

    $7.99 - $9.99

    So...
    In saying that...
    concerning the PSA Submission cards.
    There are many other successful pulls from WALGREENS packaging
    that I sent in as well!
    Here are some more...
    My BEST Pull with GEM MINT results!

    Gunner Henderson

    1st Edition
    144/150
    2020 DRAFT
    BLUE FOIL

    Pulled directly from one of these

    Here's one comp but

    Joey have you ever thought of selling off all your best cards and buying a single key HOF players rookie card in the best grade you can afford. I would sell them all off and buy say a 1966 Topps Bobby Orr rookie graded by PSA. But that is me.

    😆
    Love your thinking!
    Sounds like the Mrs.
    😆
    But seriously, I would go that route but maybe a bit different.
    I'm contemplating to get rid of my majority of my inventory by either selling and or giving away. Whether it's for donation places, Goodwill, or to young family members.
    I do plan on keeping my good stuff (PSA Cards, BIG Named Players, low serial numbered and Good Autographs) Than eventually having a much smaller inventory!
    Than let SIT.
    Starting to get burned out on the hobby. But not entirely.
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I love Bobby Orr and Bobby Hull.
    Real Hockey Players!

    Drove to a couple of Stores to try to find something more profitable.
    Walmart, nothing.
    Target, nothing.
    Walgreens, nothing.

    Finally, I spotted a
    GAMESTOP!
    Wouldn't you know it. It was the only decent Product on their shelves.
    Plus, it was the LAST BOX!
    We all know what that could mean?


    Hi guys,
    Yeah, I know I put this product down in the past. But it was the only real BOX I found today!

    DESTINY?

    OK, now the 2024 Pack!
    Come on,
    Paul Skenes

    Well, other than some insignificant Rookies.
    Just this
    Aqua
    Border


    Nothing this time.
    WALGREENS might not of came through this time but still out wins over FUN against any High Priced Skunk boxes!
    Guarantee, if you were to spend $200 on 30
    WALGREENS Boxes up against $200 Boxes (sure, unless you got lucky) the excitementand FUN factor would be towards the WALGREENS.
    Many more hours RIPPIN too!
    Thanks guys.
    Sorry, for all the negativity!
    Very Frustrating!
    Bye 👋
    <3
