Lots of wet snow today, so it's a good day to show off the 3rd exciting rack pack from the Universal Treasures Box I bought previously. If this pack is like the previous two, prepare to be underwhelmed.

Well first of all, here's the breakdown of the years included. These were all Topps cards from 1975 - 1990.
1975 - 15 cards
1976 - 2 cards
1977 - 5 cards
1978 - 10 cards
1979 - 14 cards
1980 - 11 cards
1981 - 2 cards
1982 - 25 cards
1983 - 13 cards
1984 - 13 cards
1985 - 10 cards
1986 - 9 cards
1987 - 9 cards
1988 - 11 cards
1989 - 11 cards
1990 - 2 cards
1982 and 1975 were the two years most represented in a box that was basically all commons. I did get a Mattingly and Bonds Rookie although after watching several videos of these being open leads me to believe that these were "participation trophies". I do understand that not every box is going to be good but they don't have to be this bad either.
One thing I noticed is that in some cases the cards were almost numerical. For instance, I pulled 10 1978 cards. They weren't 10 random cards from the set but cards 307 - 318 (except for cards 310 and 314...Don Sutton and Paul Linblad). 10 of the 14 1979 cards were between cards 71 - 83.
So the box gets an F from me. It's not something I would ever buy again. Usually one of the saving graces of these types of repack offerings is that they are fun to go through. This was not fun. Cue the throwing money out the window gif.
