I got 2 Topps 1984 packs and both only had 8 cards, when they should have had 15. The funny thing was I got a Strawberry in one of them and a 2nd year Gwynn in another.Chemgodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144507101303169755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15421385.post-49391237647886484782008-02-11T22:30:00.000-05:002008-02-11T22:30:00.000-05:00The Cubs "peanuts" were sent as a good omen for go...The Cubs "peanuts" were sent as a good omen for good fortune in your waxy Sox search.

Did they sacrifice themselves for the White Sox cards? Considering one of those Cubs is now in the broadcast booth for the White Sox, it's a possibility.Steve Giermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291911419511893670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15421385.post-14773825139461552822008-02-11T21:39:00.000-05:002008-02-11T21:39:00.000-05:00My theory is the pack was searched through in 1989...My theory is the pack was searched through in 1989, before it came into the hands of anyone that reads this post. This is the time of grocery stores with cards in the aisles. Kids would open the pack up carefully, like a master thief, and take out all the superstars or hot rookies and toss the pack back in the box.<BR/><BR/>I knew a few kids who used to do that. Sure 1989 Topps is bottom of the barrel today, but it was pretty decent in 1989.<BR/><BR/>I remember reports in the local papers when Sosa got really hot that Bell was pumping gas in the D.R. and the White Sox got the worst of that deal.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the first person to e-mail me about wanting the Kevin Gross card and the Topps insert that created the mishap can have it.
