But at $6 per case I didn't take time to question anything before making the purchase. Turns out they are from 1989 and there are 6 boxes per case. 48 packs, yes, 48 packs per box with 10 cards per pack. Let's do the math. 10 cards per pack x 48 packs per box = 480 cards per box x 6 boxes per case = 2,880 cards x 2 cases = 5,760 cards. This works out to 5 cards for a penny.
A little research revealed that the 1989 Star Minor League baseball Series 2 sets contains 100 cards, so that means I should end up with 57 complete sets, but I doubt I come even close to that number.
There is some star power in the Star set. Series 2 includes Robin Ventura, Deion Sanders, and Tino Martinez among others. Not sure if or when I'll open them up, but they ended up at just $1 per box, so I can sit on them for a while.
Dang! At that price, it would be fun to just open them even if you only used them to stoke your fireplace.
ReplyDeleteSumoMenkoMan makes a good point. It would be tough to buy a bundle of firewood at that price! LOL
DeleteThat's a good point!
DeleteIf the Star cards turn out to be the 1994 Hooters Star cards LMK.
ReplyDeleteWow Cool deal. Of course you could just open up a few boxes, enough to build a couple of sets and then sell the other boxes for whatever. Almost any price you set them at will be a profit.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll probably open a box and see if I can make a complete set or two and then go from there.
DeleteI wish I was there so much! I think that's a great deal!
ReplyDeleteAt $1 per box, it's hard to beat. I'm wondering if they have more that they'll put out now that I bought those two.
DeleteCool purchase!
ReplyDeleteNot that I've been to town recently, but which store?
Those are the kinds of things I'm amazed survived so long. Where have those been hiding?
ReplyDeleteAwesome purchase! I probably would have paid $20 per case. If you decide to rip into them, I can't wait to see what you pull.
