Ha, nice! I'm always tempted by the $10 junk wax boxes at my shop. One of these days I'm gonna by three boxes of 87, 89, or 90 Topps/Fleer and put a set together.

I also enjoy the fun of opening the older boxes. So Many players that most of the younger guys here dont even think about. Back before gud and Autos when the main goal was to get as many cards pf your favorite player. I have a place herfe in Cincy that I get my boxes from and i enjoy opening those boxes as much as i do the new ones those were the days. Getting ready to do a box of 90 Ud myself .

My favorite 'junk' boxes are the mid-90s Collector's Choice. The best pulls are stuff like stickers and mini bobble heads, but man, I loved those when I was younger. I'm pumped that my shop still has 'em!

Judging by your list of hits, I take it you didn't have any Ray Fontenot cards in your box.

Those of you who busted this stuff back in the day know how excited you got when you saw that card b/c of who was ALWAYS behind it
