Me- "I don't mind Whippets, they're not bad."
Aunt- "Ahh, whippits. I remember those. They always gave me a headache though."
Me- "...I'm talking about the dog breed, Whippet."
Aunt- "Iiii, should go. Over here, I'm going over here."
The second to last pack given to me by The Cardboard Don, on this, the day of his daughters wedding. (Not really. Well, maybe. I'm just making shit up at this point.)
And before we take a look, figured I'd do a shameless plug for myself. I'm in the process of making a new trade bait page that will be exclusively for RCs. Exciting, I know...
Now, "junk wax" is sort of an oxymoron for many of us collectors. We've all found card lots and passed on them because all we can see is "junk wax". Cards from the mid 80's through the mid 90's and later, depending on who you ask. But how many of us still need an obscene amount of "junk wax"? How many of us would be happier to trade for a completer card of an 80's team set than we would an autographed card from any random set from the past 2 years?
With that said, here are the results of the "Junk Wax" pack...
Manupatches could be considered junk wax, depending on who you're talking to.
I don't mind the manu's too much. This years Topps are a little odd though. The Mets have NY Giants logos and the Nationals have Expos logos. Ehh, whatev.
2 of the 3 cards from the 1987 Donruss "Rookies" set. Lucky for me, I had the 3rd card already which means that's another 80's team set down! Fuuuck yeah!
All I know about this set is that it's Topps and it's from '86. Other than that I can't find any info on it. Anyone have any ideas what it is?
This set, however, I did find some info for. No, it's not 1969 Topps, it's 1986 Sports Design J.D. McCarthy and this appears to be the Mets team set right here. The full set is 24 cards strong and comprised of legends from the 50's and 60's. Hey, one less 80's set that I didn't know I needed.
That's all for today folks. Guess I should say something funny right now...
