For your viewing (or cringing) pleasure, here is a pack from one of two boxes I got from a friend. He paid $2 a box. 200 card set with eight cards to a pack. The wrapper is that stretchy plastic that you should almost cut instead of rip. Notable athletes include, Magic Johnson, Steve Garvey, Kirk Gibson, Rod Brind'Amour, Joe DeLamielleure, Gene Washington, Ron Saul, Eric Allen, Earl Morrall, Ron Perranoski, Bubba Smith, Morten Andersen, Sam Vincent and Billy Joe DuPree. Set includes all four sports, coaches, and combo cards. Still doesn't make it that collectible, even if you live in Michigan....
First, the box:

Most packs consist of two-, three-, or four-card runs of consecutive numbers.
148 Sam Vincent (basketball) - Boston's first round pick (20th overall) in the 1985 NBA draft.
147 Dan McFall (hockey) - Had most goals by a defenseman in a season, 1983-84.




30 LeRoy Bolden (football) - Led MSU in rushing and scoring in 1953 and scoring in '54. Played two seasons with the Cleveland Browns, primarily as a kick returner.
29 Bill Simpson (football) - Free safety with the Buffalo bills for eight years.
Some other notable cards from the set:

The existence of these cards makes my soul hurt. I'm surprised that there are enough Spartans to create an "all-time greats" set. 200? Come on...
They may be cheesy, but I've never seen those cards before so at least it was an interesting pack to see.
If you end up with any doubles of any of the hockey cards I'd love to trade you something for them.
Best part is, I still have another unopened box!
I'll trade for dupes and unopened packs

Two bucks a box? Wow. If you see any Georgia boxes for two bucks let me know.
