1996 Topps Laser Group Break Results

We have yet another Affordable Group Break in the books! We went back several years from the previous break to bust both series 1 & 2 of 1996 Topps Laser...and let's just say my streak of good luck continued. If you missed the video you can catch it below, otherwise keep reading for a break down of the two boxes.

It had been almost 10 years since I've opened a box of Topps Laser and this week's break was just as much fun as it was all those years ago. We'll start with series 1. If you aren't familiar with this set, that's OK. Surprisingly it was a one and done set...perhaps it didn't sell well because of the initial high price tag? Perhaps it turned out that it was to expensive to of a product to produce for what it yielded? Each card is features one of four laser cut designs.

The base runner design

The pitcher design

The batter design

The fielder design

It should go without saying that these cards are more condition sensitive than your standard baseball card, especially the pitcher and fielder designs. With each pack only yielding 4 cards and a rather small set of 64 cards per series, duplicates are going to show up. Collation wasn't too bad, but there were a few packs that we opened where two or three of the same players show up in back to back packs. Some of the star players like Griffey however only showed up once.

While the base cards are fun, the inserts are pretty cool. The odds aren't necessarily in your favor with just 24 packs per box. I thought we'd pull a Bright Spots card (1:20), but instead we got a Stadium Stars (1:60 packs). I've not seen one of these in person before and they are beautiful. I guess you could call these a precursor to booklet cards as the card opens up to review a photo of the player. The top right portion of the card didn't want to open easily and I didn't want to damage the card, so I didn't chance it...after all Ben who claimed the Mariners in the break was watching!!

Series 2 I had previously opened and I remember getting some good cards, but this box yielded more surprises than I expected. The same four designs from the previous series are carried over, however the batting design now has a strip of gold etched foil along the right side of the card. This makes for a much better looking card in my opinion and allows the laser cut ball and flames to show better.

With the series 1 box yielding just one insert (1:60 at that!) I wasn't sure what to expect out of the series 2 box, but as it turns out the box was very good to us!

Not only did we pull a Bright Spots insert, but two! Before the live video I had asked a few of the viewers I had in the stream their opinion on which card from several I had that were "One Touch worthy". Well as you can see after this Chipper was pulled it got the One Touch treatment instead! While the other card of Jimmer Haynes may not have the same name recognition as Chipper, I knew the card was going to a great Orioles home.

The fun didn't stop there as we pulled another Stadium Stars insert...and of another Mariners player in Randy Johnson! I was shocked when we pulled the Griffey from series 1 and I didn't not expect to see another. These are beautiful cards in hand, but like the previous the card didn't want to open all the way and I didn't want to chance it either. Hopefully the new owner of these Stadium Stars can carefully open them and share some pictures of the cards in my Facebook group!

Overall I thought this was another fun and successful break. It seemed that activity was down a little from previous breaks, but I'm sure with the 4th of July holiday a lot of people were taking a break. That said, I'm taking a short break myself as there will be no break on Friday, 07/10/20, but I'll return with another Affordable Group break the following Friday night, 07/17/20. I hope to have a sign up post this Sunday (07/12/20) so keep your eyes open for that! Thanks again for everyone's participation and support!

Affordable Group Break - 1996 Topps Laser Series 1 & 2

** 07/02/20 UPDATE - Prices have been dropped for all remaining teams **

I first featured a box of 1996 Topps Laser in one of my Affordable Group Breaks way back in April 2001 and ever since I've wanted to break another box, but had a hard time finding a box of either series for a reasonable price. With the prices of sealed boxes seemingly going up every day, I was shocked to find an online vendor that had both boxes in stock for a reasonable asking price. I quickly snatched these up (along with some other boxes for future breaks) and I'm hoping others will be as excited about this product as I am.

If you're not familiar with this set, please make sure you visit the Trading Card Database or BaseballCardPedia for more information, including complete checklists.

Price is listed beside each team. All cards ship. Any cards with multiple players featured will be randomed off between those participants. The price does not include shipping. Like with my recent previous breaks, stacking applies so if you bought into a previous break or want me to hold your cards until you see what's next, I'll send you a PayPal invoice for shipping whenever you're ready. We'll break this box Live on my YouTube channel as soon as the break fills up. I'll update all of my social media outlets (FB group, Twitter @flywheels) as the teams are claim. We'll be looking to break this box Friday evening, 07/03/20 at 10 PM Eastern.

To claim your team(s) please comment with your request and submit your payment at that time. If you haven't participated in one of my breaks, please email me your name & mailing address. Please send your payment as Friends & Family: http://paypal.me/flywheels86

Group Break - 1996 Topps Laser Series 1

Here we go with the first box in the group break.  I'm a little short on time this month plus my fingers were already cramping at the thought of having to type up so many packs so I'm going with video!  I'm trying a new set up as you'll see in the video so hopefully it'll work for everyone.  I'll scan in the box hits so if that is all you care to see then just scroll down to see the cards.

 

Derek Jeter Bright Spots 1:20 packs

Rey Ordonez Bright Spots 1:20 packs

 

Barry Larkin Stadium Stars 1:60 packs

So right off the bat we're off to a great start as we beat the odds and pulled 4 hits out of the box!  Here's a quick break down:

We're just about at the half way point and so far it appears most of the teams claimed have a decent amount of cards in their respective stacks.  The Cardinals are lacking at the moment, but perhaps that will turn around in the 2nd half.  Inserts aren't plentiful in these packs, but several teams already have 1-2 each.  The inserts of teams not claimed will be randomly divided up - going first to teams without their own inserts.  If you have a special request for any non claimed insert or player please let me know and I'll see if I can work your request in.
