PACK WAR - 1990 Fleer

Ok, this offseason has not been kind to your Pack A Day denizens. Thorzul and I particularly have had a rough time of it. It's been entirely too long without baseball, our teams missed the playoffs, one of our football teams imploded in the preseason, the other blew up in the postseason. Tensions have been high waiting for 2008 Topps and for pitchers and catchers to report. We've been resorting to ripping basketball, Hamtaro, hockey and *ahem* other packs to make it through the long winter. Well, finally the pressure got to us and things may have been said. You know, things like "Prince should be called 'King-size'" and "Frenchy's a surrender monkey". Stuff like that. Long story short, Atlanta and Milwaukee are now at war.

WAR!!!!

We don't have bombs and stuff though, so we're fighting with packs instead. We'll rip our packs and you vote on the best one. Remember, THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS! The fate of western civilization depends on you! Or not. Just vote on the packs already.

FIRST CAMPAIGN: 1990 Fleer

Thorzul's Pack:

Quad Sticker: Indians, Tigers, Royals, Brewers
39 Jeff Pico
608 Chet Lemon

170 Gary Templeton
630 Players of the Decade Will Clark

55 Kelly Downs
285 Luis Rivera
36 Vance Law
337 Bill Spiers (Lone claim to fame: Error on 1990
Score card, missing the "66" from birthdate "1966".
Lame.)
322 Tom Filer (Another horrible '90s Brewer I'd rather
forget.)
113 Rick Luecken

wacky Howard Johnson. And, come to think about it,
doesn't he look an awful lot like Mark Ruffalo on this
card?)


492 Felix Fermin
433 Chris Sabo (Ugh...barring the Will Clark, this is
the hit of the pack. I'd advise voting against this
pack unless one of these men is a relative of yours.)

***************************

Dayf's pack:


Fleer ACTION series stickers: Twins, Yankees, A's, M's

502 Cory Snyder
413 Todd Benzinger
329 Tim McIntosh - dude, get a helmet that fits!
124 Matt Winters
286 Kevin Romine

344 Tom Foley

Ugh. I love Sid Bream, but when he's the star of the pack you have problems. Cory Snyder was ok I guess. Vince Coleman was all right until he started blowing stuff up. Oh who am I kidding, this pack blows. I'm not even going to try to defend it. Instead let's see if you guys can answer the trivia questions on the back of the sticker:

1) True or False? The Yankees have won more Championships than any club in major league history.

2) What two teams did the Twins defeat in the 1987 post-season?

3) What other club entered the American League the same year as the Mariners?

4) True or False? The Athletics are the last club to win back-to-back Championships. (remember, this is 1990)

Now vote for the winner!
