This week we have a repackaged lot of baseball cards that turned up at my daughter's resale shop. She sent me a picture similar to this one I took, asking if I wanted them. I saw the '81 and '83 Topps and replied with a "Yes please!" She gets a discount, so these were only around $5.
Here's how the 286-card repack broke down with just a sampling of each:
1978 Topps - 2 cards
1979 Topps - 4 cards
1981 Topps - 19 cards
1981 Fleer - 4 cards
1982 Fleer - 1 card
1983 Topps - 3 cards
1983 Fleer - 1 card
Fleer Stickers - 2 cards (1983, 1985)
1985 Donruss - 13 cards, all miscut the same way!
1986 Topps Traded - 2 cards
1986 Topps Box Bottoms - 3 cards
1986 Donruss - 1 card
1988 Fleer - 66 cards (12 checklist #656, 10 checklist #657)
Including this error (21 Dan Schatzader)
1984 Donruss - 1 card
1991 Topps - 153 (including this dark logo variation)
1988 Topps - 12
1989 Topps - 1
Turns out the 1981 and 1983 Topps were mostly window dressing.
Worth the 5-bucks, yes, if just for the fact that I didn't know what I was going to find.
You don't see box bottoms often in repacked cards!
ReplyDeleteNice find with the box bottoms and some of the older sets.
ReplyDeleteDid you happen to get
2 George Brett record breaker
5 Cal Ripken record breaker
398 Ryne Sandberg all-star
600 Bo Jackson and
670 Rickey Henderson
from the 1991 Topps stack? Those are the last 5 cards I need to complete the set.
None unfortunately.
DeleteOh yeah, I'd snap that up, even if I have 80 percent of those.
ReplyDelete👍
ReplyDeleteBox Bottoms are a great find. And it kind of amazes me that that card breakdown is the same, if not better, than what I got out of repacks when I was a kid in the late 1980s.
ReplyDeleteI think that a lot of bloggers would've took this deal. I don't think that I would've though, but that's only because I don't very good mojo with pack/repacks anymore, so I'd just assume that there wouldn't be anything for me in there.
ReplyDeleteNot bad, I would have gambled as well
