BUSTING BOXES- week of 04/15/2025- 1994 Collectors Choice JUMBO packs Baseball

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Going to be opening another one of the Collectors Choice boxes this one being from 1997 UPPER DECK COLLECTOR'S CHOICE SERIES 2

So far appears as though the end of the box is a little smushed, so let's hope its not as damaged as the 1998 box was
Or as stuck together also. Ken Griffey Jr appearing on the box- believe the packs have him on them

Info about the series can be found here 1997 Collector's Choice Series 2

While my player was mostly Series 1 there is a few inserts for him in Series 2
Pictures as always below of the box. Has its retail magnetic strip still attached ( hilarious)

[2014BESTSERVICE]

So gonna be breaking the box of 1994 COLLECTOR'S CHOICE SERIES 1 JUMBO packs today.
Info about the set can be found here BOX INFO


Each pack contains 20 cards with 3 Signature cards that could be Silver or Gold Signature ( fascimile)
This particular year was loaded with errors and variations. Now whether it was intentional or not is another question
Based on my knowledge of their operations back then- I'd say it was their poor 3rd party pre-production issues that caused so many mistakes. Now in the long run it made the set more of an interest to some folks. Short run wasn't exactly going over well with people back then. The set also contains tons of horizontal card pictures. A lot of action shots captured some very interesting player profiles. When it first came out was turned off by the errors and cards, but as I matured so did my appreciation of the set

Box pictures as always folks are below

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Pack pictures as always as well. Saw a Griffey, Piazza, Bonds , Puckett and Sanders as the five unopened pack types in this series 1 box. The fifth unopened pack style with Deion Sanders I could have pictured but my scanners only so big

Somebody gotta tell baseballcardpedia and other online folks the SRP on Jumbo packs was $1.99 not the $1.49 listed on many of their websites. Says it right on the packs

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

This box like the others is going to be labor intensive and I will break it up into sessions as I have other work to accomplish today

Interesting start to the box. Gonna break as always as this is labor intensive and go do some scans
Those contest cards are supposed to be odds of 1 every 24 packs so 2 in the first ten packs is surprising
One more example of collation headaches prevalent in 1990's UD products

 

[nosterbor]

The series 2 jumbo packs had the rare silver signature up close and personal cards with the very rare black bar on bottom. They only came in the jumbo pack's series 2.

regular packs

I still have 4 boxes I am thinking of opening. These are super because of the baseball strike in 1994 after the all-star game Upper Deck stopped printing them for that reason.
So, series 2 is super short printed. I bought all of these from the drug store. I cannot remember what one it was the same year we moved to Florida.

Weird collation end to that box and strange 4 sig packs as well
WIll take some picks of last 2 boxes when I get free time

 

[banjar]

I like those packs, with those wrappers featuring players on them. And in bright primary colors!

Pack pictures as always as well. Saw a Griffey, Piazza, Bonds , Puckett and Sanders as the five unopened pack types in this series 1 box. The fifth unopened pack style with Deion Sanders I could have pictured but my scanners only so big

Somebody gotta tell baseballcardpedia and other online folks the SRP on Jumbo packs was $1.99 not the $1.49 listed on many of their websites. Says it right on the packs

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Some pics folks from that 1997 COLLECTOR'S CHOICE box break
Those foil board Griffey Hot list items are just horrible to scan and not attractive to me personally
