Favorite cards are the '77 Harper and '81 Schmidt.


Not too shabby for the first half of the box. A fair amount of vintage and an '84 Fleer Mattingly rookie and an '85 Donruss Clemens Rookie, neither of which I had. Honestly, I'd be surprised if the 2nd half of the box is as good as the first, but stranger things have happened...just not to me.

  1. That actually looks like kind of a fun break. Vintage, star rookie cards and some newer inserts.

  3. Interesting release compared to the last Repack Box. It seemed like this one had more common players but more vintage cards than the last one. Thanks for sharing!
