In any case, while traversing the aisles at Walgreens looking for snacks, I came across a loose-card repack of 75 baseball cards for $3.99, or maybe $2.99. Either way, I figured it would make for interesting fodder for Pack-a-Day.
There were a TON of 1987 Topps cards, and a pretty healthy selection of 1986 Topps.. Perhaps "healthy" is the wrong word. Most of the cards proved to be 'healthy' in the sense that there were a lot of the same brand/year, and not in the sense that they were GOOD for the average collector. Having said thatm though, there were a few gems in the package... Was it worth the money spent? Does it matter?

You may have gotten some scrubs, but at least you didn't get bipped.
ReplyDeleteThese kinds of repacks always have tons of 1987 Topps cards. I'm trying to build the 1987 set through repacks. I envision that there is a warehouse somewhere that is packed with 1987 Topps cards. These also tend to have a lot of these Star minor league cards. I tried to make sense of them for awhile but I'm pretty much sick of them now and right into the circular file they go. And you've got one of the Bazooka Soaring Stars cards. These started showing up about 4 months ago. Where is are all these old cards hidihg?
ReplyDeleteI don't know where they're hiding, but I can tell you where to find them if ya want them! Go to your local Walgreens (though I saw the same kinds of repacks at tagret the other day, too). email me (davidinark@yahoo.com) and I'll be happy to send you whatever 1987 Topps I got left from this repack, if you want 'em...
