I bought this box at the spring expo for $10 and was saving it for a day when I really needed a break. Work was tough this week, I broke the box Friday night. My hopes were that I would pull a stamp of approval card limited to /100 copies and an opening day issue postcard.
The box featured 15 packs, 10 large packs with a 4X6 postcard and 5 regular packs with a stamp. This was one of the coolest ideas in the late 90's and it's a shame that this set gets hardly any love at all.
The direct deposit inserts are numbered to just /3000 copies and have a silver foil background.
The postmaster generals is a twenty card goalie set limited to /1500 sets. I had previously pulled a Garth Snow back in the day when my local dollar store was selling these packs.
I did manage to pull an opening day issue limited to /1000 copies. This scan really shows me that I need to clean off my scanner.
In my first pack I hit the stamp of approval card! It may be of the slow footed Jason Allison, however I am still very happy. The cards are numbered to /100 and you aren't guaranteed one in every box.
A pretty good break for only $10!
I wouldn't mind trading for the Osgood Postmaster. LMK blargh_bah at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteI always liked these cards. And for $10, you can't beat that.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I am hanging onto the Osgood!
