However with the beginning of the 2013 baseball season just around the corner I thought now would be a perfect opportunity to host another edition of my Affordable Group Break. In staying true to my roots I've decided to go back to the 90's a pick 3 boxes that I hope everyone will enjoy. Like with previous breaks, the great guys at The Baseball Card Exchange will again be sponsoring this break.
Up first is a product I first learned about when my brother was in college. In 1992 I had only been collecting for a few years and I didn't have access to a hobby shop or even Beckett magazine. My brother brought home a few packs of these cards from the college's school store and I always thought they were unique. I think this one a one and done product for Topps making it that much more enjoyable.
1992 Topps Kids
- 48 packs, 7 cards per pack
* I have all the Atlanta Braves from this set so I'll be selling a Braves slot for just this slot if anyone cares
By 1993 rolled around I was just getting into collecting other brands outside of Topps. I remember when the Ted Williams Card Co. was founded and oddly enough I opened a few packs, but I can't remember for the life of me where I purchased the packs! I figured this was something that a lot of us may not have in our team/player collections.
1993 Ted Williams (Premiere Edition)
- 36 packs, 12 cards per pack
- 2 insert cards per pack
- Etched in Stone, a tribute to Roberto Clemente
- Gene Locklear Collection
Skip a few years to 1996. By this time I was in college and my attention to baseball and baseball cards was waning a little bit. Leave it up to Fleer/Skybox to catch my attention with their Metal Universe set. I was somewhat familiar with the concept as I was buying basketball cards for a short while. I know not every collector out there cared for this brand, but I for one always enjoyed it.
1996 Fleer Skybox Metal Universe (Hobby)
- 24 packs
- Look for Motherlode inserts
