Two Hits in One Pack

Yesterday I posted about a couple of hits I pulled recently from 2018 Topps Series II. I didn't realize until I was putting the rest of the cards away from those packs that I had another "hit" if you will. And it came in the same pack as the Sonny Gray. The Sonny gray is so thick that there were actually only 3 cards in the entire pack.

In addition to the Gray, there was this Mikie Mahtook card...


... and this Darryl Strawberry Longball Legends blue parallel, which is not numbered but is listed at 1:223 packs.


How crazy is that? Only three cards in the pack and one of them was 1:5,232 and another was 1:233. I double checked the Mahtook to make sure it wasn't a short print or parallel of some sort, but it looks like it's just a base card.

Anyone else every have a pack like that?

1991 Fleer Pro Vision

My recent comc order was dominated by Paul Goldschmidt cards, but I did pick up a few other cards.

As a kid I opened a lot of 1991 Fleer. That's probably why I like the design to this day, while so many others despise the so called "Yellow Monster".

I have the complete set, but with an estimated 3 million copies of each card, who doesn't?

One thing I didn't have though was the complete Pro Vision set that was inserted into Wax and Rack packs of 1991 Fleer.

I had 9 of the 12, so I picked up the 3 cards (Eric Davis, Mark McGwire, and Don Mattingly) I needed to complete the set.

Here's the set in all it's glory!













Which one is your favorite? I think mine is the Ruben Sierra card. I love all the details. The cacti in the background. The badge. The sunset. The smoke coming off his bat.

Next I need to get the white Pro Vision set that was issued with factory sets. There are only 4 cards (Barry Bonds, Rickey Henderson, Ryne Sandberg, and Dave Stewart). If you happen to have these and would be willing to trade, please let me know. Thanks!
