Hello, and welcome to the latest episode of "The Cardsone Chronicles"
Most of the repacks I buy are from the dollar store. There is a Dollar Tree where I live and I usually stop in there around once a week. Quite often they have what is a labled as an "Ultimate Super Jumbo Pack", which can often be an assortment of cards from all sports, or in this case the "Baseball Edition". The company is called Cardsone, and these packs generally contain cards solely from the junk wax era. I still enjoy opening these and often will open one before I go to bed. It sort of winds down the evening for me. The most recent batch of these featured a card from 1985 Topps peeking through the wrapper.
Now here's an unobstructed view of the first card.

Like the first episode of "The Cardsone Chronicles", it was heavy on the Score releases (though only about half as many 1990 Score). Seeing the Knoblauch and Nagy Upper Deck cards brought back memories, as they were highly coveted back in the early 90's.
I needed both the Parker and Tabler for my '85 Topps Set, as well as the Pedrique and LaValliere from the '89 Score Set. I was really suprised to see the Sheffield RC, even if it was from '89 Score.
I've been into these same dollar store packs lately, myself. There are four stores near me and there's been a good variety to choose from. One store had a bunch of packs with 2002 Topps Archives cards on top, which was pretty sweet.
