Goodies from another break

Dave from Indians Baseball Cards and Random Wax did another break of lesser-known 80s releases a few weeks ago. The cards came in the mail yesterday:

  • Two 1990 Topps Heads-Up Giants (Will the Thrill and Kevin Mitchell)
  • Two 1985 Topps Rub-Downs Giants
  • An undated Fleer team sticker
  • A 1988 Topps coin of Jack Morris (looks like I got some Tigers in addition to the Giants cards)



  • Four 1986 Fleer Stickers (Scott Garrelts, Chris Brown, Darrell Evans, and Lance Parrish)
  • Some 1983 Topps Fold-Outs cards (doubles of Gary Lavelle and Greg Minton and quadruples of Darrell Evans)
  • A specialty card of Dave that he had made (http://www.meet-meme.com)
I'll be doing posts of some of the individual cards in the next few days!

Goodies from a break -- part 1

Dave over at Indians Baseball Cards and Random Wax did a "Buck a Box" break last  month.



  • Dave made his own "custom wrapper" for the cards. Pretty neat!




  • I didn't realize that's what it was until I had already opened it. I tore through part of the message -- kinda like when we were little and ripped right through the mail-in offers that were on the Topps wrappers.



  • Here are the cards I received.


  • Dave sent the cards in their wrappers. I didn't see this set when it came out in 1990, so it was pretty cool to see 'em


  • Will the Thrill and Kevin Mitchell. The things sticking out of the cap emblems are the anchors for the suction cup on the other side. These were meant to be stuck on walls or other flat objects. Maybe I'll stick these in my classroom near my desk.


  • The rest of the cards I received are pictured above. I'll be posting about them in the coming days.
  • Cool break Dave!!!!
