Well as expected, it wasn't as good as the first half of the box. It did have a few highlights, such as the '69 Catfish Hunter and the '71 Gaylord Perry.

The decade most represented was by far the 1990's.
The year most represented was a tie between 1990 and 1992.
The set most represented was 1978 Topps.

As I've always stressed, these boxes are not meant to provide stellar ROI, instead they provide stellar ROF (return on fun).

  1. You seemed to have gotten some more vintage, and of better quality, in this box than some of the others. Even the 80's stuff seems to have at least been of the bigger names for the most part.

  2. Golden Lion sounds like some sort of Buffet or Casino haha. Don't know how I'd feel about the all Padre pack. Thanks for sharing!
